How would my paragraph, quoted above, infringe on Proctor and Gamble's
mark?

I mention the mark, with a [tm] (no circle-r on my keyboard) in a context
in which it is clear that I am not selling a product, in fact, I am using
the mark to clearly identify and distinguish what I consider the "best
landry soap on the planet".

Whether I say that at "tide.com" or elsewhere would make no difference.

By bongos or on bongos?  ;-)

Do you know about the "Love's Fowl"?  It's an opera, in Italian, about
Chicken Little, performed using clothespin's on the performer's
fingers....

Love's Fowl is a full length, multi-media puppet opera written and performed
by Susan J. Vitucci with music written and performed by Henry Krieger.  It is
the story of La Pulcina Piccola (Chicken Little) including the famous sky-is-
falling incident and all that comes afterwards as told by Il teatro repertorio
delle mollette (the Clothespin Repertory Theatre).
