Not only what a paltry analogy, there'd be plenty of household items that any "ancient woman" might want to purchase from a Bass Pro shop.  And many a man has gone thru Victoria's Secret to buy their special woman, something special

IO know that if I am attacked by a bass, the best defense would be some sort of gun. And who better to sell me one than a "Bass Pro"-- someone who shoots bass professionally?

Now, you're just losing it, as that made below zero sense.  Is it possible for you to return to the land of coherency?

A Bass Pro certificate to a most old ladies would be as useful as a Victoria's Secret certificate to Wayne LaPierre.

Yes.
Both stores do sell underwear.

But Bass Pro Shop also checks your eligibility to buy a gun with the federal instant check system. Victoria's secret can't do that.

The name "Bass Pro" makes it sound like there are actually people who professionally go after bass, and that there are enough of them to merit a whole chain of stores.

It is just silly.

If Queen Victoria had a secret, it was certainly not her sexy underwear.

  Either way , you can get some very good underwear in the store, so the gift couldn't be useless.

    But would it nudge someone who was sitting the fence about buying a gun, to subsidize the purchase?

     I have in mind a person I knew who told me she was being stalked and had taken a restraining order and packed a knife, later that stalker broke the restraining order and shot her and her son, she dies he son ran away wounded.

      The price of that restraining order could have bought her a second hand revolver.

       Same as she was shot with.

     I have had three decades to think on this.

I am a bit surprised that you could spend a lot of time in Florida without running into the bass fishing culture.

Only a few bass fishermen are Professional , but there are many aspirants and admirers.

Bass Pro Shops are a nice place to shop , lots of atmosphere , plenty of space , bass in a big aquarium.
Check this "Kiss my Bass camisole. Not available at Victoria's Secret.

Is another good store for camping and hunting equipment. I have an Uncle who buys his whole wardrobe there.

This would be more for an aunt....Cabela's Women's Polartec® Microfleece Zip-Mock Base Layer Top
 
Sale!
$19.99

Hey, that is pretty good for Polartec.

Cabellas also sells guns.

Of course there is Dick's
http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/

I bought a canoe there once, that was a good buy , I outta get paddling more often...

And Academy, where I shop most often because their store is close.

Hunting and fishing is a large and strong cultural phenomenon that supports several store chains.

He pretty much thinks anything he doesn't like or enjoy is "stupid".
How interesting is that....
It is interesting to me what and why people are the way they are
It's weird how we are all made up...

Like for example I don't like baseball or golf..
but I don't think they are "stupid"
if some people love or enjoy it...great...2EachHisOwn.

Frankly even though I am a lot different in my opinions , I respect Xo a great deal.


It isn't all that personal.

I like that he pitches a slow one in the strike zone once in a while.

But its the best for me when I have to think it through in detail to present an argument.

It may or may not be the greatest store ever.

Bass fishing is a better sport than watching pro football, as watching  pro football will never result in dinner.

Still the name "Bass Pro Shops" is silly. Women's bikinis in camo are also very silly.

Polo is a sport that has the most people wearing apparel that claims to have something to do with Polo that have never seen a Polo game.

It is a rather big deal in rural Argentina, south of Buenos Aires in the Provincia de Buenos Aires. Strangely, I do not recall anyone wearing anything labeled "Polo" when I visited Argentina.

Is this the spot where I'm supposed to decry that this isn't the subject of the thread?  I recall a certain someone tripping all over themselves in trying to make that point to me regarding Gay Marriage, when the tangent of abortion came up      :o

Oh I do too...he's a smart guy in certain ways
I am sure he would perform lots better than me on an SAT test.
