my t-shirts come in a 10 pack from any department store. although Hanes may seem to be an unasuming brand of clothing, they are actually a fearsome multinational megacorporate conglomorate, rooted the tobacco industry and responsible for seamless hosery, now they cant wait to get their hanes on you.

but i digress. pour me another pint, and it better not be guiness flavourd mystery-meat.

Cheeky bugger that Tesco Samosa, thinks that just because he is from Ontario he can put things on other people’s tabs. Well, what can you expect from someone named after a British supermarket and an East African snack food.

As for exploiting the world through multinationals and clothing purchases, you can always avoid the problem by going to a tailor. A bit old fashioned, I will admit, but it works. Of course, one could argue that I am just as exploitative as you, or even more so. After all, I still get my clothes made in the third world, but I cut out the middle man and don’t provide an income for the marketing department (sorry Trajan).

Do not go to Ghana for a vacation unless you are looking for a cheap place to sit on the beach. The only other things to do are to visit the old slave castles and buy fabric for your lady friend, or friends in the case of Gryphin. While interesting enough, it is not enough to keep you busy for more than a day or so. More fun would to be fly into Cotonou, Benin, then make your way west, passing through Togo, Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, then north to Burkina Faso. Hell, why stop, keep going to Mali and visit Timbuktu and be able to say you have really been to the middle of nowhere. However, that would cost you a lot more than sitting on the beach in Ghana and involve endless waits at the various borders. A much better option is East Africa, as you can play hot seat SEIV with me, as well as going on safari and climbing Kilamanjaro.

Saxon, I think you will find that the East African/Indian anthropological snack you are referring to is a SAMOSA, not a samoa, that is a small south pacific island chain...

Hmmmm.. sunkissed female bodies on beaches in string bikinis or hot seating SEIV with you?

touch one that

tesco is not named after this grocery store in england.

Tesco first heard about tesco when tesco sold tesco.com to then a few years back. ( just joking )

Actually I used to receive about 5 to 10 emails aday from there customers complaining about stuff... I used to reply to everyone one as well..offering advice... I think i was there first Online customer service. And Yes I did receive a nasty gram from there lawyers... but they in turn received a nasty gram from some lawyer friends of me.. and they decided to drop the whole thing.

To make a long story short... Tesco is not named after this supermarket.

Samoa may be from the islands...

But together there my Online name since 1988...

Tesco- that new sig... is it a Ren and Stimpy quote?

How does it go..?

"What rolls down the stairs
Alone or in pairs
runs over your neighbour's dog

What's great for a snack
and fits on your back
It's Log! Log! Log!

Lo-og, lo-og,
it's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
lo-og, lo-og,
It's better than bad it's good!"

Can't remember the other verses off the top of my head...

Growltigga · #**200** July 29th, 2002, 09:58 AM

Dogscoff, the fact that you can remeber the verses you have is sad enough frankly...

Tesco, irrespective of the reasons for your moniker, you must appreciate that you are going to be forever stuck with the connection to one of the UK's premier grocery retail providers.
