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.

Sounds like you have led a fairly insulated life Tom. You need to spend
more time at Wal-Mart. 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.

There's one by the Sears at San Antonio and El Camino Real. It's
typical, exactly like the one in Boise. 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.

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...

It's probably catfish sushi.

I take it that you interviewed each family to find out that they were "one
paycheck from eviction!?"

It's a quote from H. Lee Scott, Jr., Wal-Mart's CEO.

Funny? I missed the quotations in your post and read it as if you were
relating your own experience.

Walmart isn't a "supporter" of bass fishing. They're an "exploiter" of
bass fishing.

nothing on fly-fishing.


Good, so far.
