Couldn't agree more... I think Tarik nails it when he makes the comparison betwixt Grant, Smurf, Rapha, Underoos & Undies. Think about it...
Grant sells the AHH, it's Blue, so are Smurfs. Then you have Rapha and Pink [the color, not the angst-ridden singer person]... next, Pink is the opposite of Blue when it comes to baby boys and girls... enter Underoos. The babies grow up, graduate from diapers and clothes [in Pink or Blue] to Underoos & eventually -time permitting- undies, watch the Smurfs [again, the whole Blue thing], and with Time, Money, Bad Backs, Sore Necks, a fondness for Boy Scouts and Tweed, Hemp Twine & Education: get an AHH from Rivendell [enter Grant -and- the color Blue, again] and talk about Rapha [Pink, see?] on this list. Makes sense to me. PS--> Aren't iPhones made in China? Wonder what Apple's cost per unit is... me thinks, it's a fair bit less than Street Price. Rivendell Connection: my iPhone has a Tweed case wrapped in Hemp Twine. -Scott On May 26, 6:40 pm, tarik saleh <tariksa...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am equally amused as Beth, but for other reasons.
