I had no idea they made anything but those orange waterproof overalls for fishing.

Going the way of Abercrombie and Fitch, I guess.

You know, sir, I wonder about this strange proclivity, of Norwegians, this Norwegian proclivity to give things strange-sounding names (at least "strange" to we non-Norwegians).

For example, the best-selling pizza in Norway--and Norwegians eat more pizza, per capita, than anyone else in the world--is "Dolly Dimples."

Huh?

"Cabela's" out in western Nebraska used to just sell cowboy boots, but somewhere along the line got into the sporting-goods business, and expanded all over the world.

Not being an aficiando of "sportswear," I am not aware if they use the "Cabela's" name, or other names, on their goods.

Apparently "Cabela's" is now the in thing, the hip thing, the cool thing, the trendy thing, among the Birkenstock-Ben&Jerry's ice cream crowd.
