It's actually pretty funny to see you being the one calling the kettle black. Sometimes you tend to show your true colors of being jealous of those who have what you don't have. <br /><br />As for controversy, it's highly overrated. Why ruffle feathers just for the sake of doing so? Some people aren't happy unless they created storms for others. These folks usually aren't happy with their own life, so don't want others to be happy either.

I much prefer his texured self! My observations from Breyerfest: I saw the smooth ones (yuck!) so I went in pursuit of one of the textured ones. All the textured ones I found at BF all had this weird giant goober on the barrel on the right side... like when someone splatters paint on a wall. I thought it was just one, but they ALL had it. It made me worry something had happened to the mold (thus the retooling). I ended up getting a textured version from eBay, an auction that used an actual photo so I could see that it was textured and also did not have the weird defect! Now I sort of want all three examples... just for the useful history of it.

One store had the textured Hickstead for about a year now, while a local feed store got in their Christmas shipment of Breyers and the 2 Hicksteads they got in were smooth! Wonder if they retooled the mold?Denisenoreply@blogger.com
