You'll see people wearing Duck Dynasty camouflage clothing all over the place around here. Pants, T-shirts, and jackets. They probably get them at Walmart - there is also some Duck merchandise at the Cracker Barrel too. And, at Old Navy. I have a pair of camo cargo pants that I got at Old Navy.

If you know the answer, why not just tell us where the TMer mantras come from and what they mean? It is totally misleading to say that the TM mantras were made up by the fakir Mahesh, or lifted out of a book, or that the TM mantras are so much gibberish, meaningless non-sense syllables.
