Yes Sir
And for some reason, they sent me two of them. They must know I have two bathrooms in my house. It's damn handy to have one big book instead of all those dog-eared little paper catalogs.

I picked mine up at the Post Office on Friday, I like it. Nobody else that I know got one. I guess they don't spend as much as I do! One of my co-workers wanted me to leave it at the Office, but it's staying at home.

Interesting.

None of you mentioned a thing about "buying" one (or two).

I called Cabela's with an order, just now, and in closing I asked about the hardbound catalog. He said it would be nine bucks.

???

I said, "... but, um, there's a bunch of guys on one of the Internet hunting forums, where I hang out, and they've gotten them, and not one of them mentioned a thing about paying for them."

Anyway... I guess I'm not special enough (which I already knew). Considering I've been paying the salaries for everyone at Cabela's for the past several years, I kind of thought "I" would get a hardbound catalog.

I guess not. << sniff, sob >>

My catalogs were free. I also spend a fortune at Cabelas. I even buy all my clothes there. Good stuff at good prices, and I'm a 3XL.

I got the catalog gratis as well and like most here I spent way more than my wife needs to know about! I wonder though if the difference is in Cabelas Club memebership. I've got that nasty little Cabela's Visa burning a hole in my pocket 24-7. I wonder if those that didn't get it or are charged are not club members???? Any thoughts?

Pretty Classy isn't it. I use a Cabela's Visa Card and both the Safari Company and yours truly buy quite a bit there every year. It's reciprocal as the Cabelas are one of our better repeat clients.

Well, I've got a Cabela's club Visa, and I haven't got one of the catalogs. I pay for just about everything with it; but maybe I don't spend enough at Cabela's. I tend to spend at the local shops more than in catalogs.

Okay, I just got off the phone again with them. I guess it's a "computer thing." Some biased-as-Hell computer determined I am not worthy.

I hate you guys. Well, not really.

Well... okay... maybe a little.

Hate to rub salt in a wound, well not really, but I spent under $100 and got a free one. Go figure.

I got one last week, also free of charge. Actually ordered something from it that I couldn't find in any of their other catalogs.
