Yes I do.....” 4:52:39 PM 11/18/02 “Not that I can think of any way to use that fact.....” 4:55:27 PM 11/18/02 “I'm almost certain that you'll think of something. In the mean time I like to get on here to relax and network with others of similar interest. I'm happy to share my knowledge and experience, but please be gentle now that I'm "Out" of the tent....so to speak.” 4:58:26 PM 11/18/02 “Ahh.... You know us. We'll be nice!” 5:00:38 PM 11/18/02 “Yeah, you guys are pretty nice... for the most part.....” 5:01:22 PM 11/18/02 The Incentive Plan “We could be even nicer if we were to get a deep discount. I mean a DEEP discount. Otherwise, all bets are off! Right guys?” 5:11:15 PM 11/18/02 “Sheesh, ya gotta be thinking more clearly guys!” 5:11:55 PM 11/18/02 “The question I face is do I need more gear or am I feeding a habit because I can't drink alcohol. I do need some things, so I will make the short detour on Friday night. REI = Really Ensnares Idiots!” 5:14:18 PM 11/18/02 “We must have our poison Geo. Better a gear jones than "Hi my name is Geo and I'm an..."” 5:16:50 PM 11/18/02 “The question is which I can afford. AA you only drop a dollar in the plate every week. A whole month is way cheaper than one trip to EMS or REI. Whenever I go to the store I think I'm only going to buy one thing. Ha! HaHaHaHaHa! HoHo, HeHe, Ho, ... One thing, ... I crack myself up. Only going to buy a Christmas gift and go right home, so I come out of the store with the Christmas gift, two lights, a Spork, and a tube of leather waterproofing compound. Actually, believe it or not, I was proud of myself. I went back to the register because they overlooked the $10 discount for the lights. And I didn't buy another wicking turtleneck. And I passed up on a butane lantern. Talk about will power!” 5:23:07 PM 11/18/02 fool...you succumbed to the Dark Lord... “Geo...buy all the gear you can, you will need all the weapons to fight the Dark Lord on your next outing...Only the Dark Lord whispers "don't get it, you've already spent too much money". Do not give into these moments...release yourself and get the gear, you won't be sorry.” 5:54:20 PM 11/18/02 “Atlas 730 Snowshoes '02 $129.00 Item 690339 I might just them!!!! That is a great price!!!!! 8)” 6:00:14 PM 11/18/02 Really Ensnares Idiots..... “Good one Geo, Haven't heard that one yet.... Other faves... Return Everything Immediately Really Expensive Items Return Every Item Rarely Extra Income” 6:05:54 PM 11/18/02 “Okay BWD, down to crunch time here. You asked us to be gentle, and I considerately offered what I thought were generous terms (deep discount), and I'm not seeing any counter-offer on the table. Can we negotiate this thing through or do we have to get hard-nosed about it. Twenty percent sales are all well and good, but that means we still have to come up with the other 80 percent (the federal gummint has been absolutely no help atall in this despite the fact that stikmon is leading us in waging a war on terrorism, saving the feds countless dollars and the military countless lives and munitions). So, friend, pal, compadre, TT buddy, what kind of deep discount might we expect?” 6:55:14 PM 11/18/02 “so does anyone, if there is a certain percent off for this sale, or does anyone know the saleprice, of the down time -20??? all discounts from friends from would be highly appreciated as Geo so suavely stated” 7:27:35 PM 11/18/02 “I think the way it works WillBo is that everything in the store will be on sale except the things I buy. Those are the usual terms, outlined in small print upside down on the back of the flyer.” 7:32:43 PM 11/18/02 “Usually sales are for sizes that don't fit me or items that are only available for women. Again, this policy is outlined in full in 2 point type printed upside-down on the back of the flyer near the bottom.” 7:34:42 PM 11/18/02 “Well that sounds about right. i just hope that bag is on sale, it could mean an early christmas present from the folks!!!” 7:36:32 PM 11/18/02 “It should be. I don't need a bag so you should be safe.” 7:37:51 PM 11/18/02 “great, well maybe our lck is opposite, and next time you want something to be on sale, just tell me and ill devise a way to a need it, and we can fool them backwardsly, hows that sound, by the way, where in the southeast do you live.” 7:50:17 PM 11/18/02 Geo's Discount “OK TT bud...here's what i can do for you. Buy any single ski at full price, I'll throw in the mate...FREE! Buy any single (paired) trekking pole at half price (must purchase two). Get a free pair of lovingly pre-owned try on socks with any full price footwear purchase. Buy a membership, get 10% back on all you regular priced purchases. Free refills on all Therm-a-rest pads. How's That.....” 9:22:12 PM 11/18/02 “LOL!!!” 9:31:25 PM 11/18/02 “Free refills on Thermarest pads? Dang, what a deal! What generosity BWD. You make Jack Benny look like a philanthropist. That's it, no more Mr. Nice Guy! Guys, the gloves are off. I asked for deep discount and we got deep all right, but not discount.” 11:14:39 AM 11/19/02 “BTW, does anybody know whether Patagonia midweight capilene zip turtlenecks will be on sale Friday? (probably not because I want one)” 11:15:45 AM 11/19/02 “C'mon Geo, there's even limits to what I can do.....” 11:16:01 AM 11/19/02 “Dave, Get me a cup of coffee. signed, part-owner” 12:45:17 PM 11/19/02 I have made a vow... “To not buy any more gear untill I get my sorry a$$ out on a trail and USE some of the stuff I just bought. These sales are killing me, but I still NEED a good ultralite 0 degree down bag.” 12:50:37 PM 11/19/02 “S'okay Dave, just ansker me question: will the Patagonia midweight Capilene men's zip turtleneck be on sale Friday? Or is that in the "Geobeet's coming so take them off the sale rack" category? And does the sale extend to internet orders as well?” 1:04:33 PM 11/19/02 “patagonia is not on sale...and internet orders are on sale too. stovestomper buy the rei down time for 169 bucks” 1:19:27 PM 11/19/02
