Randy_ · Jan 4, 2008

The language in some of my questions has probably been a little fuzzy; but I'm quite comfortable with this one.[}

WOW no response from Cav, he probably just passed out and has not gotten up yet.

Randy, first, concrats on becoming a mod. We need someone to keep Ed under control

Second, is this one of those trick questions? I didn't know that there was ANY US kit manufacturers[?]

DCBluesman · Jan 4, 2008

I believe the key words in Randy's question are "U.S. pen manufacturer". Note that it does not say the pens (I suspect Randy meant pen KITS) are manufactured in the U.S.

Thanks Lou, believe it or not, it's now clearer as to the wording. I guess there's no longer any fears that "we" are losing jobs overseas and yet "we" are still manufactuers. Perhaps "we" can start another topic at another time since this is a very interesting point.

Thanks, Skippy; but it is just a temp thing so I can help out with some of the Trivia Contest bookkeeping. After the contest is over, I change back into a pumpkin or a frog or whatever it is??

As for Ed, I think the onliest thing that will keep him in line is a Marine DI or a wife. Certainly nothing else has!![^]

Forget about where the hardware is made........
I'm still trying to figure this out, "Question four day for....."

Given that the question "at least on surface level" seems fairly straight forward and relatively easy. I suggest you just take some aspirin and stop trying to make sense from nonsense. At least that way your headache will be addressed.

OK, the question for day four is closed and a new question has ben posted. Thanks for competing and good luck with the next contest!!

Jarheaded · Jan 5, 2008

Thank god, all the for and four and the water was making me nauseas.

Might not have been all the talk, I think I have the flu. I should have listened and got that shot like she said to(don't let her know that).[:0]

Malainse · Jan 5, 2008

You want the answers or the WINNERS [?][?]

ed4copies · Jan 5, 2008

Answer is Swiss Rose Gold and it is plated in AMERICA (by a jeweler whose name is not listed) for Berea who is the exclusive seller.

I am NOT an official source, but this IS the right answer.

Jarheaded · Jan 5, 2008

We all know that, we just want to know who won!!!!!

ed4copies · Jan 5, 2008

Not me, I didn't enter.

Feel better???

Jarheaded · Jan 5, 2008

Not really, my head aches and I'm a little queasy, but I think that may be the flu. Thank you for asking though.

Gee Ed;

Are you sure it's not 18K Swiss Rose Gold as listed on Berea's site?

Ed -

I beg to differ. I believe an answer stating anything less than 18K Swiss Rose Gold manufactured by The Berea Hardwoods Co. Inc. would be incorrect.

Jarheaded · Jan 5, 2008

Ed,
It just asks what the plating is called, not how many karats it is. I'm with you on this one.

TBone · Jan 5, 2008

So is there a difference between Rose Gold and Swiss Rose Gold?

Ed maybe you should try to read a little more clearly. The question was not who does the plating. Your answer is incorrect and nominates you for the LOOSER CLUB. Please locate the appropriate thread in "Casual Conversation" and leave this thread to those of us seeking true and accurate information.[

Have you been to Middleburg, OH? Have you seen a manufacturing plant in their warehouse? Makes more sense that someone named Ling Ho is mass producing these (manufacturing) in some sweat shop in Asia for $.50 a week![^]

Jarheaded · Jan 5, 2008

Yes, the word swiss. That was easy!

Jarheaded · Jan 5, 2008

I think we need randy to wake up and settle this. Someone check the Lazyboy lounger.

I was expecting that, just figured it'd be Ed.

Jarheaded · Jan 5, 2008

Sorry, I was out of line.

And beat Ed to it!!!!!

fiferb · Jan 5, 2008

Wow, this is a tough crowd. I hope all of you settle down some before I take over next Friday.

Jarheaded · Jan 5, 2008

Just killing time and having some fun, I hope that is how the rest feel too.

Johnnie,
I hope you didn't think I was upset. Absolutely not out of line to me. No one on here can be more of a smarta$$ than myself. I enjoyed the comment, made me laugh.

TBone · Jan 5, 2008

I think Randy got sacked while watching the playoffs.
