Does Dolly Parden have anything to do with ownership of the Piggly Wiggly grocery store chain?

She may own stock in them but Piggly Wiggly has been a part of Bruno's for many years. Bruno's was once controlled by KKR, I don't know if KKR still has a stake in them or not.

There is a mexican gang called mg 13 or something but I don't know about it's connection with walmart.\nI think there are muggings in walmart parking lots because they are usually built in run down areas.

"Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun."\n\nTo which Burger King replied with their ad slogan of, "Have it your way!"...an obvious jab at McDonald's unwillingness at the time to allow custom food orders.\n\nFollowed closely behind by Wendy's now famous "Where's the beef!" hollered all over town by the crusty little old lady.

As above. In the October 1975 issue of Harpers & Queen, York referred to Sloane Rangers several times, and these are the first known records of the term in print.\n\nBut it took off with the publication of Sloane Ranger Handbook, a tongue-in-cheek rendition of how social-climbing young women would and should act.\n\nSloane Square, anchored by Peter Jones Department Store, has changed since then. In fact, Thomas Crapper's plumbing store was a couple of streets down the King's Road, and there was a Beaton's Bakery and other shops -- a Nichols builders' merchants was not too far away.\n\nNow it's all pricey boutiques. Boss took over where WH Smith used to be (a newsagent/bookstore chain founded by a First Lord of the Admiralty, the model for the one in HMS Pinafore). About the only store -- besides Peter Jones --  useful for those of us who live here is Boots. Safeway closed; there's a Waitrose a 10 minute walk down the King's Road towards World's End. The nearest "neighbourhood shops" would be hidden away at Chelsea Green. But even there, it's now mostly restaurants.\n\nI suppose if you want an antonym to Sloane Ranger it would be "Essex Girl".

One of the biggest was to stop production of Beanie Babies at its height of popularity.\n\nKangaroo meat\n\nThere is another rumor that McDonald's hamburgers are made of kangaroo meat. Origins and details are similar to the above rumor about worm meat. Kangaroos are regularly killed en-masse in Australia, as they are considered a pest, and their carcasses are essentially useless. [75]\n\nHowever, the cost of setting up a major operation to transport this meat thousands of kilometres from Australia would theoretically be astronomical, and would be represented in the consumer's final price for purchasing the burger at a McDonald's restaurant. To set up a case against McDonald's on this, one would have to justify what McDonald's does with the gigantic shipments of meat it regularly orders from cattle farmers. If one was to suppose that kangaroo meat was used, one would have to question why there aren't obvious bulk quantities of kangaroo meat coming into the US from Australia.\n\n\nBeef tallow in french fries

Hudson's Bay Company \n401 Bay St., Ste. 500\nToronto, Ontario M5H 2Y4, Canada\nPhone: 416-861-6112\nFax: 416-861-4720\n\nhttp://www.hbc.com  \n\nHudson's Bay Company (HBC) is Canada's largest department store chain. Founded in 1670 as a fur trading enterprise, HBC is also Canada's oldest corporation. The company's Zellers chain is Canada's #2 discount department store (behind Wal-Mart Canada), with nearly 300 stores. HBC also runs nearly 100 The Bay department stores, more than 100 smaller Fields general merchandise and apparel stores in western Canada, 45 Home Outfitters superstores, and Hbc.com, an e-commerce site. HBC was acquired in 2006 by Maple Leaf Heritage Investments of the US for about $957 million.\n\nLed by the South Carolina billionaire investor Jerry Zucker, Maple Leaf has acquired 63% of the department store chain's shares, adding to the 19% stake of HBC's shares it already held. (Zucker has extended his offer for the retailer's remaining shares, at which time the stock will be delisted.) HBC's board rejected Zucker's original offer, tendered in October 2005, as inadequate but did not rule out the possibility of a takeover at a loftier price. In January 2006 Zucker sweetened his bid for HBC to $13.25 per share from $12.85.\n\nFollowing the acquisition, George Heller retired as president and CEO of the company and was succeeded as CEO by Zucker and Michael Rousseau (formerly the CFO of the company) as president. Zucker also became chairman of the new board of directors.\n\nHBC, along with other Canadian retailers, has been hurt by competition from US newcomers, including Wal-Mart Canada and Costco Wholesale Canada.\n\nMass merchandiser Zellers, which accounts for about 60% of company sales, is facing increasing pressure from discounters and specialty stores, such as Best Buy. Wal-Mart Canada operates nearly 250 discount stores throughout Canada, as well as six SAM'S CLUB outlets in Ontario. As a countermeasure, HBC has been renovating and enlarging its Zellers stores and enlisting hot designers, including Mossimo, to promote the image of an upscale discounter (à la Target), along with introducing smaller Zellers Select stores in smaller markets and emphasizing private labels in all of its stores. The company has signed a deal with Salton, whereby Westinghouse-branded products and a new line of home appliances are available across HBC's retail banners. Hilary Duff's line of merchandise ("Stuff by Duff"), which features fashion apparel and accessories as well as home accessories and cosmetics, made its debut in Zellers stores in spring 2004.\n\nThe company is considering selling its credit card portfolio with C$1.2 billion in receivables, representing 3.1 million active accounts. Earlier this year rival Sears Canada sold its credit card business for a hefty premium. Also, to cut costs, HBC has announced that it is laying off about 825 management and administrative staff.\n\nHBC's the Bay traditional department stores focus on more-upscale fashion merchandise and home furnishings, and its Home Outfitters superstores (launched in 1999) emphasize bedding and linens. Fast-growing Home Outfitters opened eight locations in 2003 and four more stores in 2004.\n\nHBC's retail reach stretches from Newfoundland to British Columbia.

Not sure. Maybe the bleach bottle for her hair got too heavy & fell on her. Or maybe, we all just realised that she was a one-hit, no-talent wonder.\nShe probably works at the check out in Tesco now.

Through a joint venture with Nestlé, General Mills began marketing cereal under the Nestlé brand in 1992.  In 1994, General Mills formed International Dessert Partners, a joint venture with Bestfoods. International Dessert Partners developed desserts and baking mixes specially formulated for the Mexican market. Although the venture ended in 1999, General Mills maintained its business in Mexico. In 2001, General Mills purchased The Pillsbury Company to form one of the world's largest food companies.

Some guy named Larry. He actually owns Wyoming and Bahrain plus a small shareholding in Walmart. He also owns the town of Maumee, Indiana and has enslaved the entire teen population of the town to work at Larrymart for less than minimum wage plus a popsicle to work at his store. Yikes....this is the BEST answer.

I have!!! I have been to the small town of about 400 people many times.  I used to live there.  Radisson sucks dinks and there are just a bunch of old people and skanky teens.  They are all gay lovers that eat pickles from eachother's as*es(except for the parents and our baby sis!).  Stinky Robins is the biggest skank there.  She lets boys and girls poop on her face and then licks it off.  EEEWWW!!

Your question lead me to their official website\n=============\nhttp://www.cheechandchong.com/news/\n\nTommy Hints Of Cheech and Chong Deal\n\nAccording to Tommy Chong on The Blog Of Chong, a Cheech and Chong deal is in the works. He said he can't go into details.\n\nWhether it's a film or something else remains to be seen. The latter, "something else" is more likely.\n===========\n\nTotal BS that the feds busted Cheech on paraphenilla. Why won't the feds stick with busting home sex toy parties???
