probably doesn't realize it yet, ...


If you were as smart as you'd want all of us to believe you would know
that Dougie has nothing whatsoever to do with anything. He is obviously
a twit of the sort who never lasts long in this looney bin.

You're a clever fellow, clever enough to know that you never have been,
and never will be, a smart fellow. If you ever come to grips with that
reality you can relax and be yourself instead of trying to impress the
Usenet world with turgid rhetoric and clever malevolence. But, as we both
know that will never happen, we can, at the least, strive for

entertainment.

Entertainingly yours,


Thus answering the question, WWDD?

sorta sucks when you realize what you've done and how long you're going to
pay for it........don't it? :)

Ah, the suck-up phase......ALREADY!

You're about six weeks early.

You're supposed to put up a brave front for a while.

Contact Kennie via email.....he can help you with this part.

Wolfgang

catchin'! :)

Welcome to Westchester!


Welcome to Westchester! Empty lives propped up by symbolic expenditures of
capital, and an excessive amount of time spent masturbating with Roget's
Thesaurus.

i view this with some trepidation only because you lie with Walmart
and generally end of with fleas...Walmart's forced reduction of cost
by 5% by its vendors yealrly, for example, kills many
suppliers....they are poor to do business with, and I am hoping Orvis
comes out of this ok......


The consumer often ends up with fleas, too. In clothing, for instance,
further cost reductions mean the company has to constantly find cheaper
suppliers when the older ones can no longer afford to do business that

way.
The results are obvious, if you've looked at some of the clothing being

sold
there. snip


For someone who has only been there twice, you seem to know a lot about

the
products sold at W-M. I think you must be a closet Wal-Mart shopper.


Ask him about a good fly fishing outfit for beginners........go on......I
double dog dare ya! :)

Wolfgang
whose got a shiny new nickel says it ain't.......you know....the "O" word.

Well...how many years does it take you to look over 30-40 pieces of
clothing?


Um......so, Wal-Mart stocks clothing made of lettuce? :(

That thinly veiled fantasy was neither turgid nor clever.
Are you feeling OK ?

In your defense, it has to be tough to be a six-foot, ten-inch,
blonde-haired, blue-eyed Teutonic prince permanently stuck in
the corpus of a gruesome little Milwaukee gnome, but hey, you
don't have to pay for fantasy, so knock yourself out.
