Default I think Griots just lost a customer- - ->

Most of you know that for years I have been a supporter of Griots as a source of excellent detailing products.

I recv'd the newest catalog today..the first three pages now have <a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.jsp?searchtext=55236">"anti-dork driving loafers"</a> matching flame embossed <a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.jsp?searchtext=10025">"flip flops"</a>and <a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.jsp?searchtext=66201">"light switch covers"</a>, <a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.jsp?searchtext=10025">"steak knives"</a> and <a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.jsp?searchtext=13002">"BBQ sauce"</a> and a Griots <a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.jsp?searchtext=77760">"apron"</a> to match the <a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.jsp?searchtext=12947">"fish spatula"</a> and <a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.jsp?searchtext=12952">"carcass flipping spatula"</a>.

Next catalog will probably have pet pillows and nose hair clippers...

Sorry to say, I have lost respect...

Default I'll give him credit though for putting together the "Young Entrepreneur's Care Care Kit". I wish I

had that as an option when I was a kid...sure beats working at Pizza Hut.<ul><li><a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&amp;SKU=11582GRDSHP">http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&amp;SKU=11582GRDSHP</a></li></ul>

Default Hey, times are tough. If his market research tells him that his customers also buy viagra...

he'll likely be pimping that too!

Default I don't need market research to tell me that. Consider: The large majority of

his customers are men. The large majority of those men are well-off financially. The large majority of financially secure men are older. Ergo, many of his customers would probably pick up some V with their car wax.

:P

I think the large majority of his customers are younger men that buy the bull in his catalog.
