That's what passes for an apology in jingo-speak.

That post sure has whet my appetite for herring. What about lutefisch (?)
marinated in aquavete (sp?).

Ahem.......as a bona fide English major (we're always here when you need
us!), I believe I can shed a bit of light on what appears (at a glance) to
be a rather cryptic statement. After carefully parsing Bill's sentence and
then reassembling it sans superfluous misdirection, paternalistic horse****,
condescension, bigotry, hate, alcoholic incomprehensibility (and at such a
tender hour of the day!), chauvinistic jingoism, and outright deceit, it is
clear that his intention was to foster international goodwill, collegiality,
informed tolerance and, most of all, a universal understanding of the
benefits of bowing to the wisdom and magnanimity of the shrewd but humble
American small businessman who, if he were only acknowledged and emulated,
would lead the world down the bright and only true path to enlightenment and
warm fuzzy feelings toward all deserving human beings
(excluding.....naturally.....spicks, wogs, ******s, bohunks, polacks, hebes,
heinies, wetbacks, commies, fags, dykes, mackerel snappers, swedes, and
presbyterians......*).

Hope this helps......and it certainly should.

You left out herring! That is discriminatory! Especially as you
specifically included the Goddess of youth and spring, and cruciferous
plants! Or they were both spelled wrong! :)))

Greg,

I was talking about some of the new fly rods that are available in the USA
for 2004.

I am sorry that you are unhappy about this, but it is probably just your
nature.

It's nothing wrong with being proud of your country, but when devaluating
all other countries by saying "Only in America" - that's just plain bull****
and a lot of ignorance, plus no small ammount of flagvawing.

I got over it shortly after I noticed that pro wrasslin' was show
business and not a sport. It had something to do with puberty or at
least coincided with it. And reading statements from people in other
parts of the world that each extolled their country as being the
greatest. It made me wonder if I could be wrong about that, too. I
did cling to my belief that pro boxing was a real sport until they
bounced Ali out for exercising his freedom of speech. Strange how
they've never bounced out Mike Tyson. This _is_ circular rambling, I
know, but may it's got a point at the poles?

Hi George and other nice fly fishers,


We cast them about a month ago and they were pretty nice. Orvis got their
overseas fly rod connection when they owned Redington for a short while. For
$98US they are a great value.

We also cast the new St.Croix "Premiere" and they were pretty nice too for
$100US.

Have you cast the Orvis rod yet?

I had to go back and read my own message. Spot on as usual.

I don't know where you can find all the wonderful products we have here in
the USA? and you are free to choose them if you get a job.

I was asking that about his original, "Only in America can
you have all these choices and make them freely."

I wasn't being antagonistic, just trying to understand why
he threw that in in a post about buying cheap rods.

Ahhh, yet another set of "keen" observations, in the fullest possible sense
of the word!

Well, the Redington stuff you mentioned is made in Korea. The $100.00 jobs
are $8.00 ex-factory there. Here, people can afford that even if they are
unemployed, on a pension, or even receiving sick or disability insurance.
Not that many would actually choose them, but they could if they wanted.

Most of the other "wonderful products" you mention are available in many
places, quite often where they originated, and mostly cheaper to boot!
Aspirin, Mercedes, Porsche, and Zebras. To name but a few.

Perhaps we should have thanksgiving after all?

Oh, and our herrings are better as well! Although very few of them are red.
