[Namron] I made a TUNIC but

[Scott Barrett]

That's right ladies and gentlemen, the man looked around, weighed his 
options and bought Linen! A new guy bought linen, right there, live, 
right before your eyes, I'm honored to have seen it, and you should be, 
too! You heard me, be honored!!
I can call my friends now, and say " By Odin, our new people are so 
with it they by linen and wool! I'm a liar, eh? See that fella over 
there? Yeah, that IS a nice garment and no, you can't touch! That guy 
doesn't like posers, so leave him alone!"
....ahem..

Jim, nice to see you bought linen, you'll like it.
