Handy Man Club TAOLG

Have to be the first to get in with this taolg (reverse gloat). They
are extremely generous this time around. Not only a Black drill gauge
but a notepad for your watch pocket that has about 5 sheets of paper in
it. Was I the only lucky one?

The HandyMan Club folks. They send out these
invites to be a member and include a "trinket" of
some sort as a good faith measure. Usually it's
a drill guide. This time it was a guide and a
small pad of paper.

They promise if you sign up you get to evaluate and keep
a tool.

No one ever seems to cop to being a member.

Pardon my ignorance, but who are "they"?

The proper response to a TAOLG, of course.

Nope. Got my third or fourth guide, plus the pad! in the
mail just the other day. I would like to hear from someone
who actually is a member of this club. No one that I know
in 100 mile radius is.

Wataminnit!

He works for the Electrolux division of Microsoft?



"News flash!

Microsoft Buys Electrolux.

Makes extensive design changes.

They now have a product line that doesn't suck."



The "correct" rejoinder to a valid taolg is "kcus uoy". everybody knows that.
for an _unjustified_ claim, it's "ereh egakcus on".

Almost out of glue spreaders too!

Nope, nothing here. You win.

Crap, I got the drill guide, now I'm going to have to look in the trash for
my note pad probably still in the envelope. Get any neat tools to test yet?
I'm hoping for the new Unisaw.

Pffffft. You probably have an unending supply of glue spreaders, if you just
recognize them for what they are. Expired credit cards, used-up gift cards,
expired health-insurance cards, etc etc etc -- I have enough already to last
all my remaining years.

If anyone has ever jointed, what's the best thing they sent you to test(I
enjoyed
the complimentary notepad and still have the drill guide)? I guess I'm just
of
the skeptical ilk.
