What I like about this Kraken umbrella is the inside, which features a
giant Kraken. What I like significantly less about this Kraken umbrella
is the outside, which features a mess of curlicued, doily-looking sea
life and free advertising for The Kraken spiced rum. I am ambivalent
about the squid arm handle. It looks cool, but I'm skeptical of its
gripping comfort, especially during a blustery downpour. I'm bitter
enough when forced out of doors in inclement weather. I don't need a
palm covered in cephalopod suction cup imprints adding to my ire. (Note:
According to The Kraken Supply Shop, the Kraken umbrella's handle is
"rubbery". How does one interpret that in terms of skin-gouging
potential?)
So as not to sound like a complete d-bag, I will reiterate that I do
dig the inside of the Kraken umbrella. And I generally enjoy umbrellas
as a commodity. I will also disclose that I chipped a tooth biting into a
Werther's Original a couple hours ago, so I'm not in the best of moods.
