There's a company located in Sparta, Wisconsin (about 30 miles from where I live) called "FAST Corporation" — which is an acronym for "Fiberglass Animals, Shapes, and Trademarks" — that still makes these things for advertising, waterparks, and what-have-you. In fact, that huge muskellunge located at the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward WI <i>(pictured in the comments accompanying the original article)</i> is one of their creations. And they keep a lot of their old molds stored outside in a vacant field next to their factory, visible to drivers traveling Wisconsin Highway 21 between Sparta and Tomah.<br /><br /><i><b>-"BB"-</b></i>Bicycle Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050083414573635556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-9511973730446487512019-08-27T13:52:42.752-04:002019-08-27T13:52:42.752-04:00Europeans are happier than Americans because:

It is what it was and it's not who they are as a<br />people today.<br /><br />They're not overly concerned with being responsible for<br />ensuring the safety and well-being of the world.

Didn't agree with everything the<br />second time around but plenty of valid points - to be<br />expected from a conservative publication.<br /><br />But.<br /><br />Does the author really expect everyone to take him at his<br />word?
