In today's news:

Serotta, Seven sign exclusive distribution deal with Wal-mart

This is great news, Serotta Bicycles makes the absolutely, very finest
handmade bicycle frames using the very, very best titanium and steel. And
don't forget carbon fiber. I wonder if Wal-mart is going to have someone
help us with the custom fit. I know they are custom made to the cyclists
specifications. This is great news. Good going Wal-Mart. I am proud I
bought my first bike from you. All Good Things,
Maggie

It was a joke, Maggie. 😉

Kind of like saying that Bentley will now be offering a Korean made entry
level luxury car for 12K.

Walmart will remain a huge evil corporation, destroying the fabric of
small towns and sucking at the teat of the welfare system--you got it--it
costs governments money to have Walmarts in town, as they don't pay a
living wage. They also systematically discriminate against women, not good
stuff Maggie. Anti-labour to the point of brainwashing and hostility. Ick.

Some folks that are really poor shop there to get by, I ain't gonna
criticize that. Considering the amount of cash you're gonna
blow on your daughters wedding (hope it turns out grand 😄) you can afford
to shop elsewhere.

If you want big box shopping with a conscience, try Costco. They pay a
very fair living wage, offer great benefits, and generally have the
happiest employees in the trade with great retention. They also strongly
support the Democratic Party, something that's incredibly important to me.

Ah, that explains your /incredibly/ condescending attitude toward Maggie AND
/incredibly/ obvious lack of a sense of humor.

:-P

There is nothing in it to indicate that it was a joke, either in tone, nor
in emoticon. Maggie is a newcomer to cycling, so she may have taken a
facetious comment literally. No shame in that.

My post was not condescending to say the least, but highly informed and of
great value to the human race. It was fully of wisdom, chopped nuts, and
other fruits of the earth.

You are an overly sensitive pussilanimous douchebag.

Ah, plonking, nothing's better.

Also, that's a great word. It's the only word that I can think of
where ALL the vowels appear in their correct alphabetical order:

f-A-c-E-t-I-O-U-s.

Cool, huh?

rofl!!

How random and good!

I finally learned how to spell it--I'd been spelling it "fascitous" for
the longest time [blush]. We shouldn't get our fascism mixes up with our
faces or something like that. :P

I second that emotion. [censored] should be free. This is story of a NG and
their killer poster named [censored], and how love set him free.
Out of the killfile and into the thread.

Don't say that or someone will bring up Monica and...

.... oops.

Besides, you don't REALLY want Bill in there with all the other
riff-raff in your kill file, do you? He'll get 'em organized and
they'll sneak out and reformat your hard drive.

(only did a 30 temp kill, not the same as the true spam, it's lonely in
there 😉)

Also, abstemious.

Also of note -- the shortest word in English with all the vowels (not in
order) that is common is Sequoia.
