My uncle, my father's brother, was a distributor of men's outdoor sporting gear in New England during the 1950s and 1960s. He sold stuff 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. --Vic |

"HK" wrote in message ... 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. |

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

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

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... |
