Some dude wearing a "Handyman Club of America - Lifetime Member" jacket. Hee hee hee. I'll bet he was a *charter* member too.
It was all I could do not to bust out laughing at the guy. More money than sense, that's for damn sure.
When you get the "complimentary address" labels, do you cut off the HCofA logos and use them? [I can't help it, my folks grew up during the depression and ingrained the idea that it is a bad thing to let things go to waste].
.. of course I meant use the address labels and discard the logos.

He probably uses a Crapsman faux nylon brush to put thick, bubbly layers of Minwhacked poly on his cherry-stained knotty-pineywood pukeyducks, too, huh?

Check out
"Reach direct-to-publisher responders made up of active homeowners who participate in every do-it-yourself activity, including painting, woodworking, landscaping, decorating, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, home repairs and more.
These people responded to a risk-free offer to preview the club and opted not to continue their membership. As a result, they were removed as active members.
All competitive and non-competitive offers will be able to rent the responders for either direct mail or telemarketing campaigns."
So, trying out HCA really _does_ label you as a sucker, apparently.
Oh, and of course members get their info sold too:

$110/thousand, 558,816 people, 75% men, 8% women, 17% other ?

Not from them. I never got any, and I haven't heard from them in a long, long time. From others, yes, I have.
(I haven't heard from the HCoA since I screamed at them over that check they sent that would have cost me a fortune if I had cashed it. That really pissed me off, and convinced me beyond any doubt that the club was a total scam.)
The knotty pineywooy pukey ducks he made with his 3 HP Crapsman routah doubtless...
BTW, why do people do that to cherry? My uncle has a very nice china display thingie in his dining room. Some kind of dark reddish brown color. I asked him about it, and he said it was solid cherry. It was solid something. If that was cherry, someone stained the hell out of it to get it to look like that. I don't get it. If you want dark, why not just use walnut? Am I nuts?
sanding sponge now.

No, but their taste is all in their mouths.
