Best of all, you get yer Internet access for only 38 cents a month, plus a licensed copies of our BassMaster '95 software and a big ol' bucket of worms when you sign up.How can we provide such a pig-stompin', Bud-drinkin', NASCAR-watchin' hoot and holler of a great deal? It's 'cuz we're just good folks (not some city-slicker con artists), and we're a-dedicated to a-providin' you with the world's very best fishing rods, reels, lures, tackle and gear, plus that fancy-ass Internet crap.

The History of Ed's

Well, a few months ago, Ed was sittin' on his porch, and he said, "Hot day out, ain't it?" Then somebody said, "Yup." Then Ed said, "Betcha a tin of Skoal that Dale Earnhardt wins the Brickyard 400 on Sunday." Then somebody said, "No way! Ricky Rudd's a-gonna open a whole can of whup-ass on Dale Earnhardt!" Then everybody spat out their dip and had a few more beers.

Well, anyway, after a while, somebody says, "Hey, Ed, why don't you do dial-up Internet access like my Aunt Daisy Mae does from her trailer?" And Ed says, "Well, Hell, sure, why not?" That's pretty much it on the story.

Why It's So Damn Cheap

Mainly, it's just 'cause we're real good people, like we said before. We're offering you a rate of only 38 cents a month, with no strings attached, except that you have to pre-pay for 4 billion years (first month and setup total: $1,520,000,000.38) That's right! We think Internet access shouldn't be a month-to-month thing, it should be an heirloom, something you can pass on to your children, and your children's children, and so on until the Earth is a smoldering heap of cosmic detritus spinning meaninglessly off into the cold void of space.
