Only assholes drink Lagavulin or Laphroaig. Right, Forty? d;o)

Bite me, you retrograde, reactionary, right-wing, old pirate.

And you didn't bring *me* a bottle of scotch when I was the
Clavemeister, what's the deal with that ?

Wrong, Leapfrog breath. I brought you a bottle of Lagavulin. You
were too drunk most of the time to appreciate it. And if I remember
correctly, you also got wayno's bottole of Lagavulin from his clave.
Afterall, some people have good taste, whether they be lawyers or

Hell, you were so drunk you threw the left over spaghetti into the
brook next to the cabin, and emptied the bacon grease outside the
kitchen door thereby ruining your chance of getting back your security
deposit. d;o)

Cabelas do not pay taxes anywhere they set up a store, just check the
internet on this. They feel the jobs they bring to the store and the
state taxes from sales is worth more to the state than the state income
tax. After all aren't all large corporations exempt from state taxes in
this country? Here in MA, all of the largest corporations only paid the
minimum tax in the state. It's normal business practice, look at the
incentive of a tax rebate from the feds, the middle income (under
$60,000 single and $120 married) will be getting $600. Do you think the
corporations are only going to get the same ratio? Face it, this is
life in America no matter who's in power.

Thsi story appeared today in the Oregonia and here's the one in The
Olympian. Cabelas just opened a store near Olympia.

http://www.theolympian.com/outdoors/story/339328.html

The story is Cableas is buying up land and hunting and fishing rights
from ranchers in Montana. The average fisherman will loose access to
places they have hunted and fished for years.
It doen't supprize me, Cabelas are were big supporters of Cheny and
the Bu****es and prbably their plan to privatize the national forest
and othere public lands.

Cabelas are evil *******s. They struck a deal with the corrupt
(Republican) politicians in Idaho to avoid paying the sales taxes they
should have been required to pay, and which their competitors pay.

I will never spend another dime in Cabelas.

Towns and counties love Cabela's. They don't just bring jobs and sales
tax for the store itself. The one in Hamburg, PA created its own
economy. In the three or four years since it opened, two new shopping
centers popped up (and they're always bustling when I go), Cabela's is
always packed and the interstate and intersecting roads had to get
upgraded. The number of jobs from the retail store is just a fraction
of what it creates. What was at one point just a hill and a fallow
field is now a mercantile center. From what I recall, the deal was
income tax breaks for a limited time, 10 years I think, for putting it
there (as opposed to some other hill next to I-78). Sales tax is not
exempt, and I don't think the adjacent shopping centers got the same
deal. I'm sure that with the influx of jobs and taxes, the little town
of Hamburg now has better municipal services than they've ever had.

I love it because on those frigid weekends when I can't take the baby
outside, we can go to Cabela's, get out of the cold while getting out
of the house and buy a few shotgun shells and a few fly hooks. The
place is kid-friendly (not as good as Ikea, but pretty good). The pool
with the little waterfall in the middle is good for 20 minutes of
wonder from the little guy, who's attention span is usually measured
in fractions of a minute.

Not that I'm absolving C of all their sins, corporate and other. The
spot they picked in Hamburg undoubtedly displaced a few pheasants in
the process, and I'm sure that they're doing some unpleasant things in
other places. I'd rather give my money to smaller stores, like the
local fly shop and the local gun shop, but what little fly shop has
space for a toddler to run? For Hamburg though, I really can't see a
downside.

I've been to Ikea's once, when they opened the new story in Palo Alto, CA
....thought we were at a daycare center.

Heh. That's not why I had to forfeit the security deposit. The
same old fool who did the above also destroyed the neighbor's
lawn with his big honkin' van and *that's* where the security
deposit went. Like I always say, the best thing about being a
Clavemeister is you *never* have to do it again. ;-)

They have a mens' room, a ladies' room and and changing room, complete
with a Diaper Champ and a padded table. They even have a breastfeeding
room. Not just kids in the ball walk at the daycare center, but stuff
from birth up until they're embarrassed to be seen in public with
their parents. Yet again, when you've got to get out of the house and
out of the weather, they're a great spot. It doesn't hurt that the kid
loves meatballs. We walk him through, get him a meatball platter, buy
a couple of spatula and a stuffed animal, and count it a good day.

I think it's good Ikea made the place child-friendly.
Although we didn't eat there, the food court looked pretty nice.

that is the *second* worst tasting scotch on the planet. the worst, as
i discovered in my recent search for a decent "bar scotch", is "black &
white". it tastes like lagavulin that has been aged in old cans of motor
oil. i took one sip and dumped the entire bottle in my sink.

Which proves the old adage; you can take the taste buds out
of the peasant but you can't take the peasant out of the taste
buds. ;-)

Lagavulin and Laphroaig are Islay scotches and as such taste
of peat smoke, brine and iodine. Heaven to some of us and
almost universally despised by candy drinkers (and candy-assed
drinkers ;-).
