at the store level, WalMart has some pretty poor inventory control, so it's
not that uncommon to see stuff priced below cost. sort of like thrift store
shopping, you have to see what's there and wait for the bargains to show up.
I'm not too crazy about WalMart and its effects on retail, but since we have
an economic and political climate that allows most people few (if any) other
options for buying the necessities of life, places like WalMart will
flourish.

I buy my flylines there (or at KMart).
The economy flylines that Cortland and SA manufacture are available there,
but never at the local flyshops.

I won't argue whether or not a fly line is a necessity of life, I could
go both ways on that one ;-), but if a guy can afford several bamboo
fly rods he can afford an extra buck or two for his fly line. I don't
shop at Kmart either, I'd rather have my pubic hair plucked out three
at a time by a 350 pound, two toothed hooker than shop at Kmart.

You've still got a way to go, but T-bone would be proud of the effort. :)

What is the going rate on that service now? Not on the menu at the local
house of ill repute. ;-)

I'd prefer that, as well. In fact, I'd pay good money to watch.

I'll bet you would. Quit fantasizing about me, get yourself a boyfriend
and save your good money for the sex toys, you putz.

Hey, I'm only agreeing with you. And who wouldn't pay to watch that
spectacle? In fact, I'd like to film it and put it on the Web. You could
be more famous than Paris Hilton.

Uh, speaking only for myself; I wouldn't pay to watch a 350-pound hooker do
*anything*. YMMV.

A 259-pound hooker?
