A little bit of research I'd like to share:

Quiksilver owns DC, Roxy, Rossignol, and Dynastar
Nike owns Converse, those Livestrong bracelets, Air Jordn, and Hurley
Sole Technology owns Etnies, eS, and Emerica
VF Corporation (world's largest apparel company) owns Wrangler, Lee, Riders, Nautica, North Face, and Vans

oh and if you didn't know, apparently you should NEVER EVER EVER mix bleach and ammonia, any fumes produced by the smalest amount of each is DEADLY DEADLY DEADLY. Think instant death.

Oh and I guess Mitch met Will Farrell at the ski hill in Golden yesterday.
