What; do you think i am a wine producer ?

I posted extra large images, large 'nough even for you to see - can'tcha tell the thicker from the thinner cord?!

You won’t be given the slightest chance to cut off a millimeter of my 16th and 17th c. bundles of matchcord!

I better hope you're not ...

As I told you, I'm not expectin' to git nuthin' less than a 500 gallon oaken barrel salvaged from the wreck of the Santa Maria, reserved for, and signed by, Christopher Columbus himself!



Just you wait

No, YOU better wait, buddy!


Worse - no: BADDER! - than ever,
Bad bad Michl Blond..., hmm, alright, Whitebeard

Well - all I really wanted to do is say
A GREAT BIG THANKS
FOR A GREAT BIG FRIENDSHIP!
IT WILL LAST FOREVER.
You and Jim kept ringing me up in every hospital they were taking my bowels out at the moment.
I'll never forget that - among many other fine memories.
Jim, are you there?
Please do get in touch with me!

Looking forward to receiving - and gulping right down my now missing bowels! - your 3 milliliters of Portuguese port coming my way tomorrow,
and
Thanks a whole lot!

Your friend
Michl/Miguel
