Hello,

We’ve recently been contacted by the trademark owners of Texaco, who’d like to get started with a Twitter account.  Although your account is not violating our TOS, we do state that we like to help businesses reclaim user names when possible.  Would you be willing to give up the user name in exchange for a Twitter shirt?  If so, great!  If not, that’s fine too, just thought it was worth asking.

Thanks!

Crystal

I want a Texaco t shirt, too. Size extra large – mens. I’m a big fan of their logo and their tag line – as a sort of spiritual truth. You can tell them that. You can also tell them that there are woefully few Texaco stations in Idaho, where I live, but one of them, at Mack’s Inn, Idaho, shares a name with my blog and a song by Rikki Lee Jones – thelastchancetexaco.com.

So yeah, if they can send along some cool stuff with red stars on it I’m thrilled to hand the name back.

Best wishes,

Chris
