There's no excuses now people: authorized retailers There's a dealer near my apartment. I might have to get rid of my sink and refrigerator to fit it into my tiny NYC kitchen, but that's a small sacrifice to be like the Lauries may or may not be (depending on whether or not they have one.) And the really cool thing is that they never get lonely. You can buy them with a companion. ETA: The companion doesn't automatically show up. Click on the "Aga Cooking" tab a few times and you'll see it. Join your local Aga retailer for an Aga Test Drive... And apparently they were the first transformers

Maybe HHoW should sponsor it's first t-shirt design. It could just say "Aga!" and you would know we were HL fans. ;-) We could have "Pro-Aga" and "Con-Aga" shirts for the different factions. It would be like the Sharks and Jets. ;-)

Boffle- 07-10-2008

Now I'm tempted to instigate this Aga war. As tempting as it is (and it is, and I know you're joking) I don't think we want to encourage them by responding: we would be giving those low life losers what they want (hits on their web page). By simply taking the high road and ignoring them and their beastly rag, we give them what they don't want (no hits). Also, as much as I hate to see stupid DM articles, I hate even more the stupid fans coming out of the woodwork to "defend" HL. To my mind. the DM is acting from sheer greed with an occasional soupçon of spite to get attention, whereas some fans are so deluded that they think HL needs protection from stupid Daily Mail. After all, some people "prefer it to a newspaper." Just looked at the Aga page. Speaking of deluded, how about that Aga copywriter? "It isn't an appliance, it's a life style." Hoo Ha. How about "It isn't a life style. It is an appliance. And if you have to ask how much it costs, you're clearly not one of us. Though you'd desperately like to be. Wouldn't you? Wouldn't youuuuu?" Honestly. I don't care whether or not it's a cool appliance. Demanding that we have a cool hot water heater/stove combo to feel good about ourselves? Sign me for the Con Aga crew. Motto: "We will not sneer at you for your stupid Hummvee of a kitchen appliance because we are a better class of people by right of who we are, not what we buy." Oh, I guess Im all ranty today. :-)

And the really cool thing is that they never get lonely. You can buy them with a companion. I completely misunderstood this. I came away thinking that if you're out shopping for an Aga you need to take a friend with you. Then again, maybe that's where Hugh comes in. :ph34r:

And, just in case you haven't discovered the Aga forum and are wondering what perils await the unsuspecting Agaphile: http://www.aga-ranges.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29

As tempting as it is (and it is, and I know you're joking) I don't think we want to encourage them by responding: we would be giving those low life losers what they want (hits on their web page). Judging by the fact that the realestalker blog got over one hundred comments on a post about Hugh when they usually average about 25, I tihnk it's safe to say that all the various Hugh fans who get the google alerts (which I would imagine is more than saw the blog what with more of us having the blog setting turned off) have already given them the hits they desire. By linking to them and then going there we gave that to them. Comments are just gravy. Either way, it was a joke. We could have "Pro-Aga" and "Con-Aga" shirts for the different factions. It would be like the Sharks and Jets. Genius! And I usually "quietly pay" for almost everything I buy....Well, Okay, I did get a little loud at that one bachelorette party when I was bidding on the stripper....but that was years ago and I was drunk and it never happened and I have no idea what you guys are referring to....Talk to my lawyers. Hey, I think I was at that party! Wait. No I wasn't. Nevermind.

Boffle- 07-10-2008

Oh yes, I knew it was a joke and said so. And you're right that our hits were registered already. I was just thinking of the hits from the Aga war being repeated at the DM along with all the comments and hoopla, and them thinking, wow that struck a chord: let's do lots more stupid HL stories, please. Anyway, yeah, I'm on a rant today. :-)

Hey, I think I was at that party! Wait. No I wasn't. Nevermind. That's right! I absolutely remember you not being there because I thought at the time, "It's quite the coincidence that amysusanne is not at the same party I'm not at!"

Weird Night Janitor- 07-10-2008

There's no excuses now people: authorized retailers I'm sitting here in Dallas, Texas, where it will be about 102 degrees (with 90+% humidity for completely assured comfort) for the next several days. Why in God's good name do I have an Aga distributor one mile up the road from my office?? No home within a 500 mile radius needs the added warmth of one of these things any time of year. :shock:

to21be- 07-10-2008

Well, at least now even I know what an Aga is. Thanks for the pictures guys. I was just too lazy to look it up and it actually added to the fascination that I didn't know what anyone was talking about. :wink: It's not my imagination that the DM articles get meaner, is it? I really wouldn't want to be the target of their attention, always assuming that there are too many people out there who take rags like that seriously. :mad:

No home within a 500 mile radius needs the added warmth of one of these things any time of year. :shock: Well, now that explains why I hadn't heard of Aga before, as I'm sitting 500 miles to the south of you. So...Hugh testimonial for the day: Today is my first day of work as an intern at a medical library. I was freaking nervous to walk in this morning, but with my "Thank Hugh" button in my purse, I got the confidence to actually start. It's like I could feel the back rub I know he'd give me from thousands of miles away. :D

Hibernia- 07-10-2008

Good for you, Chipmunk_love! I'm sure Hugh's proud of you!

And the really cool thing is that they never get lonely. You can buy them with a companion. Does it arrive in a Tardis? We invite you to experience the Aga lifestyle and learn how it can help you cook better, eat better, taste better and live better. I hear it can improve your sex life too. According to the web site there "are no stores within your requested area."
