Guys, I obtained a copy of the press release one day early. Without further ado, here it is: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 4/24/2019 Hornady, Grand Island, NE The BallisticBlog.com This is Fred Fuhque. I'm here with Steve Hornady. Steve has some big announcements.
TBB: Steve, there's been a lot of speculation that Hornady is going to announce some new, game-changing cartridge. Is that true? SH: No, actually, Fred, it is NOT a new cartridge. In fact, it's not a new ANYTHING! Hornady is going to slim down the product line! TBB: Huh??? SH: Yes, that's right. I've been reading the posts of a guy by the handle of "Fug Stick" on 24HourCampfire.com. After reading his posts, I decided that we have been wasting our time on a lot of useless products. So, we are cutting our rifle bullet line back to 4 bullets - the 224 75gr BTHP, the 224 88gr ELD, the 6mm 105gr BTHP and finally, the .284 180gr ELD. Our cartridge line will be cut to the 223 Remington, 22 & 6mm Creedmoor and the 7-08. TBB: Wow! There's a lot of other cartridges out there that people use. What about those? SH: Well, Fred, if you use a cartridge that I didn't mention, you are just a dumb chunt. I took the 22 Creedmoor loaded with the 88 ELD elephant hunting. That combo is supersonic out to 1760 yards. You don't need anything else, so you are lucky I'm not dropping the 6 & 7mm cartridges and bullets too. TBB: Elephant with a 22? Really?!! SH: Fred, you dumb fhuqk. Your brokedickness is hilarious. You can't even afford ONE of my bullets! Hint....... Hahaha. Thanks I needed that this morning.

...a deep manglation of the English language. Is "manglation" a word, or did you just commit manglation? Yes, yes I did. you could say I coined a new word. "Manglation, the act of misusing language, and destroying syntax, while abusing the reader" I like it, and the description is perfect! Gonna have to remember that one for future use.
