Yes, she needs to go to Congress and get a Federal bailout! The sub-prime mortgage crises was caused by people spending their monthly payments on knives. When the bubble bursted and gas prices went sky high, people could not afford Swamp Rats, so the smart money went to precious metals, like INFI. The "working poor" continued to throw their money away on Scrappers with their welfare, pension, and SSI checks. The entire combat knife monetary system is in chaos. Only a bail out to Swamp Rat can save it.

Which is more likely than Britain ever being "Great" again, Paul. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

HUGE +1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing more needs to be said.

Darn, I was just getting into the Dirge. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I keep pining for a new Swamp Rat in Norwegian Blue. Lovely plumage. Kraz caused me to go find that Monty Python episode. Silly stuff.

No, sir, please carry on. I was being an [censored] <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


Back on topic... I think its as simple and complicated as this..... SR is not needed anymore from a business standpoint. Think about it. Yes they can sell stuff. However, with SY, they can put less $ into the product, yet make a product that is TOUGHER and cheaper to sell and make. The Swamp forum has NEVER been as alive as the Yard (ive been there for a long time) and I think that Jerry has just decided this is whats going to happen. The economy may or may not have something to do with it. Busse will ALWAYS be. and Im going to venture as far as to say so with Scrap Yard. Its the brother to Busse <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I do not think Jerry calls all the shots for SY. Im not speaking for BOSS here but I know that Dan goes to the dump and gets whatever Jerry throws out. And I also know that they are 2 separate companies! Dan makes what he wants to my knowledge and Jerry does the Busse thing. But I think Dan is the shot-caller at SY the whole way. He just gets his steel from what his brother throws in the trash. Gah I love SCRAP YARD and SR-77!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

You may well be right, recon. Jerry surely has noticed that most who will spend $200 on a knife will just go ahead and spend $300 and get a Busse. But thank goodness we still have the Yard for those seeking great value for the money. I do like my Rats, though.

swamp rat is what got me started.my first busse kin was a howling rat. i hate the fact nothing is coming outta the pipeline
