We have very fine Bagels! We have Bruegers Bagels, Einsteins Bagels and Panera Bread and all them coffee shops make bagels too. And we have Lenders Bagels as well as others in the grocery store. We don't have to leave them on the sidewalk to defrost them, we have microwaves....and lots of warm feelings. I must go. -jc On Mar 4, 2004, at 9:59 PM, [log in to unmask] wrote: ArialIn a message dated 3/4/2004 9:29:05 PM Eastern Standard Time, [log in to unmask] writes: ArialThe STATE of Minnahsoter is the land of 10,000 lakes, donchaknow.  Oh, for God's sake.  There's a bunch of lakes.  A pod of lakes. A flock of lakes. A brace of lakes. A shitload of lakes. With all I have to do, how do you people expect me to keep track of how many goddam lakes you have out in some irregularly shaped state that's buried under snow most of time, anyway?  What makes you so sure there aren't a million lakes? (Actually 14K+/-).  Ontario, that trackless frozen wilderness in the Arial northern suburbs of the City of Duluth, is the land of 100,000 lakes.  Arial I don't know nothin about a land of a million lakes. So in other words, if you added up 4040,0000,4040all the lakes out in all those states and provinces, you'd probably get a million of 'em.  Or more.  Wouldn'cha?  Huh?  ArialWe don't need no stinkin safes.  I don't want no stinking tear-gas filled safe, either, and I'm not about to take yours, or Wisconsin's or Ontario's for that matter.  You can shove all those safes up your snow-encrusted, lake-filled butts. So there!  Us Jerseyites don't need any smelly old junk from you!Jesse and the boyz got themselves shot up pretty good after they made an unapproved withdrawal from the bank in Northfield, MN. I bet there's a damn good reason why all those desperadoes did their bank robbing from smelly safes out in those frozen-lake states, instead of in New Jersey. Well It gets reenacted every summer.  You should come and check out the safe. Only if I can pick it up from Chrif'f second floor office above H&H Bagels.  And somehow, I don't think there's an H&H Bagels in Northfield, MN, much less Zabar's.  I bet you'd be lucky to defrost a Lender's bagel on the sidewalk in the dead of summer out there.  Arial 4040,0000,4040Ralph Arial4040,0000,4040(just a little cranky, but it'll get worse) Arial-jc ArialOn Mar 4, 2004, at 7:40 PM, [log in to unmask] wrote: Arial> Thank Cod for that heads up, that came just as I was about to place my Arial > bid bid on an historic On Wisconsin/Dairy Pride Brand Rollaround Safe Arial > on eBay, to house the Czaroidal Binocular Connection!
