An incorrect assessment of their standing, in so many ways.<br /><br />Terrible.CUPCAKE 2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/06126056596694795345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6738289002488426468.post-83954719683721806252013-07-27T01:10:17.745-07:002013-07-27T01:10:17.745-07:00HI-Tec's patents are probably as stingy as the...HI-Tec's patents are probably as stingy as the parents who buy Hi-Tec.<br /><br />Watch this space for Kappa/Coq post coming soon.<br />The Thick Repeaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703631982511276250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6738289002488426468.post-68337587153479208012013-07-26T16:07:58.383-07:002013-07-26T16:07:58.383-07:00* parents* parentsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02010552683324588627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6738289002488426468.post-2220643130381420612013-07-26T16:07:07.256-07:002013-07-26T16:07:07.256-07:00To be fair to Cica, they only make kids shoes.
