I was wondering why you would wear a jacket at 50 degrees. Heck, I don't even do that (of course I wear a t-shirt all year round, so...)

and you're a new yawka? whew! I was afraid that you had other more lumberjackackay interests. I'd include a link, but the FR automatically adds FR stuff to my links, and I can't get outside. thank gawd!

Didn't Atelier Stevenson lose to Ike twice?

Yeah I remember him, Loney. I watched the campaign on my grandmother's 12 inch black and white RCA TV set in '56. Jesus himself couldn't have beat Eisenhower in '56.

I went to Freeport, ME a few weeks ago to pick up some moose ataliers for my kid. at $165 EACH for little ones, I said ferget it.

Well....

If you're of a mind to give them a quick run through, before you write, for the sake of efficacy....

The only thing I like about winter, is that it is dark when I leave, and Dark when I get back home.

[camle]

she ain't got ateliers, she gots horns!

[CholeraJoe]

Moose antlers are a little less expensive here in Montana but not much. Elk antlers are pretty cheap, though. I can get you a great deal on a fox fur vest up in Lincoln, MT (former home of the Unabomber.)

[TheGrimReaper]

she gots horns!

...and a gargantuan double-wide a$s!

[CholeraJoe]

Around Christmas, we only have seven hours of daylight. Just the opposite in June.

[camle]

I'd like to get a nice set of moose ateliers. since i bought some land in ME last month, there's supposed to be plenty of moose (meese?) up there. I'll have to go traipsing around up there and find some for myself.

what are moose ateliers going for up there?

[camle]

please! leave us NOT offend those mobile home residents amongst us by referring to the hildebeast as double wide. them trailers are much more cozy than that...

[CholeraJoe]

How many axe handles wide?

[TheGrimReaper]

Sorry. At least those double-wide trailers have one feature that the Hildebeast doesn't (but should)....

GUY WIRE & ANCHORS!

"I'll take Conquerors for $1000, Alex."

"What was the war cry of the Huns when their leader was fighting?"

[TheGrimReaper]

YOU measure it!
I'm not going anywhere near that behemoth!

[CholeraJoe]

what are moose ateliers going for up there?

I saw a set up in Lincoln for about $150. You can order them off the internet for $10 per pound here

[camle]

LOL~!

I'm sure that one of them double wides would fit nicely INSIDE HER double-wide!
