Interesting thing about Pacific island fishermen: their spears also double as crochet hooks. I’ve seen their afghans in every country in the world. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Interesting thing about Pacific island fishermen: their spears also double as crochet hooks. I’ve seen their afghans in every country in the world. Including, of course, Afghanistan. Indeed, the wholesale destruction of their traditional industry, in a market flooded with cheap Pacific Island afghans, has been a major contributing factor to the continuing turmoil in that sad country. I often wonder why the Lame Stream Media persists in ignoring this inconvenient fact. ---

> [@Nava](#): > > Dude, if you’re going to be irritated with me at least do it for the correct reasons. It’s Spain, España, Espanya… not Espanyol 😛 And anyway your key posting style IMHO is to raise a (mostly) relevant homely anecdote about your family. The Spain thing is by the by. ---

And as a poster who’s been here long enough to have to do searches before I type out an anecdote in case I’ve posted it before, I’m shutting up now. ---

> [@BlankSlate](#): > > I wonder if anyone ever paid for a membership because they were just _dying_ to use the “location” field. Limiting that option is a detriment to the board overall. I’m rarely in Spain; while I do mention Spain a lot, I suspect that many people read “Spain”, look up the poster, see “Nava” and think “oh sweet Jesus there she goes again”, but don’t add up the times I mention another location. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > My guess is that it has something to do with pot. I like to pretend to myself it’s some clever allusion, but it was actually a typo, compounded by the fact the same typo is saved into my browser’s autocorrect. I did send a message asking for it to be changed, but I never got a reply, so I thought I would just run with it. ---
