Anyone know how Wal-Mart became such a huge supporter of Bass-Fishing?
Seems like they're pumping in millions of dollars into the sport, and nothing on fly-fishing. -tom |

I don't know if there are any on the pensula but if so those would not be typical. Pick one between Stockton and Bakersfield. Wal-MArt doesn't pump money into anything, they suck it out. |

It's full of obese women with obese children and obese dads wearing NASCAR T-shirts, one paycheck away from eviction, buying the same cheap ****. Competitive bass fishing fits their demographic perfectly. Pick one between Stockton and Bakersfield. Pick one between Stockton and Bakersfield.

Assuming it to be true, that says as much about the population of Boise (and wherever the other is located) as it does Walmart...not to mention that yet again, your positions are at odds with each other. Or are you just regularly hanging out to make sure there is not any svelte fartin'-through-silk types in there but you? IAC, Google up info about Walmart in places like Plano, TX and Charleston, SC - sushi (with actual sushi chefs), decent wines, suits, 5-8000 title book departments, etc. Hell, Sam's sells more diamonds than anyone else in the US (and high carat, top quality stones, too). And I've yet to see Walmart personnel dragging anyone, fat or skinny, dressed in NASCAR T-shirts or Henry Poole and Co. (or even, should one possibly somehow manage it, a Poole NASCAR T-shirt...), into a store... |
