similar to a lot of what you'd find at L.L. Bean, not the modern, trendy
stuff, but the real deal gear for campers, hunters, fishermen of his day
- clothes, tents, sleeping bags, that sort of stuff. I know he went to
Canada several times a year to visit the manufacturers of some of the
lines he handled. He always had a really great big car, typically (from
what I remember) a Chrysler 300. I remember at least one that had
pushbutton transmission selection buttons.

Saw those in Imperials and Fury's, circa 1957.
Maybe in a Rambler or AMC thing too.
Guy in a barbershop sold me some clothes once.
Three pure polyester shirts, and a wide white belt.
Wore one of the shirts once, but got warned away from the belt.
I think everybody got suckered at least once.
That was my time.

I bought a bottle of witch hazel in a barbershop once. Never considered
buying shirts there, though. :)

Look for the union label when you are buying
that coat, dress or blouse.

I do, I prefer non-union.

Remember somewhere our union's sewing, our
wages going to feed the kids, and run the house.

As is my money. The more I have left, the better my family does. Want
charity, see Obama.

We work hard, but who's complaining?
Thanks to the I.L.G. we're paying our way!

Some day that will come back with a real bite. I can't wait to hear them
squeal.

So always look for the union label,
it says we're able to make it in the U.S.A.!

Most people in the US are non-union and don't get bailouts.

CAN I GET AN AMEN?!?!?

^yours.

Thanks for supporting the Chinese and others. Your price point
attitude helped tank the (non-union) knitting, sewing, and apparel
economy in my state.

Protectionist legislation is a small price you'll have to pay for your
philosophy.

If fuel goes sky high again, you won't be able to buy your foreign
price point goods. When that happens and jobs come back onshore, and I
think it is inevitable, the local folks that despised unions and were
good company men won't see things like they did before. They'll
remember how expendable they were and the resurgence of unions,
especially in places were they were previously shunned, will be huge.

Again, thanks.


A "good company man" is a worker who has been laid off and thinks it is
his fault.

There used to be a sort of social contract between workers and their
employers in this country, but that was pretty much destroyed during the
Reagan years when greed became the most important credo of corporations.

I wish we could have the same sentiments up here. Not much left of the
'rag business' in Montreal.
That reminds me, I'll have to ask our 'skipper' where his suits and
shirts come from now. He is a distributor of mens & womens clothing and
part of his territory takes in the tri-state area around Washington DC.
He usually stays with one of his customers/friends when on his sales
trips that way...in the Bethesda MD area.

I see that one of our sockpuppet regulars, without the balls to identify
himself, is now sockpuppeting me ...again, and signing his posts:




Of course, there's only only way that sockpuppet would know whether my
balls were hairy.

Back to your post, Don...

I noticed the phoney HK earlier. Looks like I'll have to check the
'properties' of each HK post from now on.


Why? You get the same entertainment whether it's the real Harry or the
spoofed one. Although the spoofed one is a little wittier.

IF you feel compelled to respond to the real WAFA, you will have to do
just that.

Carry on...

Ah, one check with google, and I see the village idiot is STILL lying
about every aspect of his life....

Why the hell would you bother.. I filtered them out and don't even care
to look back...;) I already know they are miserable, I am getting ready
to set up so anytime the pink army is quoted, it gets kicked out too.

Anyway, since the thread is so far ot I will hijack it...
We had a good weekend of practice at our home track, we missed the races
this weekend, needed a break. I had a stupid crash today going over a
jump and cracked it too hard, the bike landed a few feet down river from
me and me flat on my back, ouch!... Anyway, couple of fast kids there
all weekend and The Mouse got some real good workout moto's in with
them. It was cool, all 100's and 85's all about equal although I think
Kyle is sandbagging just to hang with the other kids, he is just too
smooth to not be faster if he wants to...

Anyway, pouring the neosporin all over my arm, at least I slapped the
ground right and kept my head off the ground.... er, I think...;)

Rowdy Mouse Racing, troll eater...

In a couple of weeks he'll be crying & moaning about his physical problems
again.
I think he's looking for an excuse not to work,
