It has been brought to the attentions of myself that a great deal of merriment and making-funny is going on in this very for-um whilst at the very same time there are a great number of children going without their dinners in far-off Chinee. I propose that we spare no time in the making of a remedy for this grave situation post-haste. I propose that we, each and all of the memberfolk herein donate all available spare funds for the excavation of a number of desert oases, wells, orphan hospitals, etc. instead of sitting around and saying bad things about people's clothes and stuff. One particular project already dear to mine own heart is the creation of some sort of grand lake in the wastes of Okla-homa. This will not only provide the impoverished children of the great Dust Bowl with their first taste of potable refresh-ments, it will provide a venue for the pursuance of such manly endeavors as saliling, yachting, sloop racing, and the like, which will prevent their descent into the Homosexualist Agenda which I fault for the Making of Pansies. Furthermore, this body of water would provide a bank-ment upon which tea parties, dressup balls, and other types of wholesome manliness could be practiced ad infinitum. I hereby name myself the treasurer (suitable participants in other, more wholesome fora shall be named to other posts of officer-ship) for this endeavor, and implore each and every one of all of you to PM me for details to send the checks to and stuff. THE TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
Out of the snark came forth snark.

There are lots of Nigerian email correspondents with millions of dollars to invest.
You are just the type of keen chaps ripe for investing in my cryptozoology expedition to Chad in search of the sabre tooth tiger.
It is indeed Trad, plenty of opportunity to wear pith helmets and do very manly things with the expedition tea boy and punkawalla.
Sadly, the central plains Ogallala aquifer is already severely depleted. There was a charming book published some years past; THE BUFFALO COMMONS werein the authors proposed reestablishing a great central grassland. Their argument cited depopulation projections of many areas, the rising economy of more healthfull and sustainable american bison meat and need for critical bioreserves beyond our envied, but overtaxed park system.
I propose an equal rennaissance of our cities be initiated where people travel from truly country towns to take part in real cultural events; opera,theater, artshows and fine dining in required genteel dress within inspiring architecture in the spirit of Sir Winston Churchills Flem spoon. and Frank Loyd Wright . I believe the 'rigorous life' as advocated by President T.R. Roosevelt with lots of fresh air and chance encounter with Ursus horriblus will give a true appreciation for privation and the opportunity to truly live well without pretense of Gilded Age excess meets TRAD/Fedoraisms.
