Fishermen must have a lot of spare cash to throw away.<BR/><BR/>Don Mills Diva: I had no idea either.

Oh man.... Dyslexics Untie!<BR/><BR/>Reminds me of the first proposed name for the Canadian Alliance Party... The Conservative/Reform Alliance Party... which was swiftly changed when an astute journalist asked them if they knew the acronym was CRAP! I almost peed myself I was laughing so hard when I heard that on the radio!<BR/><BR/>As for Freedom 55... I'm looking at Freedom 70 at my current pace! :-SPhoenix5http://www.blogger.com/profile/06717890637366842487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-77783041636103681532008-08-10T16:58:00.000-05:002008-08-10T16:58:00.000-05:00That is the worst acronym ever -- and not even correct. As jojo said, they must be thinking of AARP. But no one in their right mind would make THAT association before making the one you did: CRAP!

Yeah... that's a scary thought. I swear some of those fish on the covers are the same one; they're just handed off to another poor schmuck to have his trophy photo taken...<BR/><BR/>VioletSky: "Forty and Retirement Times"... now that sounds like a good magazine. Sad to say, the first ads I saw in the CARP was for hemorrhoids and arthritis meds. Yikes.<BR/><BR/>Ed: Well, if you have 30 years of service, you can reach your "Magic 80" by age 50. I can retire in March 2010; six months before my 50th (since I started working here at 18).<BR/><BR/>JoJo: I guess so... Ha! I don't know whether I would WANT to read a magazine called "Crappies" to be honest.<BR/><BR/>Jeff: Ha! "acronymizing"!
