Mr Lee Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Alec Baldwin pisses off senator with mail order bride remarkhttp://www.tribuneonline.org/headlines/20090518hed6.htmlWhy do people still call it that, when a person has to meet his lady in person. Yes he may have met them on the Internet but it is not mail order by any sense of the word and an educated person should know better than to even joke like that.

volstateguy Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Alec Baldwin is a** and an idiot! I've never liked his acting, or any of the Baldwin brothers acting come to think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Before, I did a search on Amazon and also looked in a Sears catalogue and I couldn't find any mail order brides. How would you get all those postage stamps off her anyway? Or maybe they come in wrapping paper? Do you pay by the pound? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike S Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 As with a lot of things here it is a term through back to the early days in the US ....... where miners back in the gold rush days would order their wife by mail ... having never met her in person ...... Other term used by Filipinos is ... mastermind (head crook) ....... there are more but I just drew a blank .... Anyone else come up with some????????????

No more home delivery. There's talk of doing that for postal mail too. What is this world coming to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of yet, I am not aware of Cherryblossoms or Filipinaheart offering any sort of test drive / taste test before delivery! Unless of course one is shopping in Angeles City.....J.C.
