[EDIT: OP was a spam kitchen advert by Agdistes, which has since been deleted]
Clear evidence of FoG's forsaken status. I suspect it's months (years?) since a Slitherine representative has ventured in to the FoG forum...

Maybe it's even worse than that, duke. Maybe they're the ones selling the kitchens.

Agdistes (self-indulgence). The god who kept the porch of the “Bower of Bliss.” He united in his own person the two sexes, and sprang from the stone Agdus, parts of which were taken by Deucalion and Pyrrha to cast over their shoulders, after the flood, for re-peopling the world. (Spenser: Faëric Queene, book ii, 12.)
Ag-dis-tes in 3 syl.

Oo-er! Sounds like a bit of a swinger!

That might explain the interest in kitchens. Modern ones, with the square boardtop fixture in the middle.

It seems this exact same post has been made on hundreds or thousands of other message boards. Sounds like Mr Mance Viller (not giving him any more google hits) is executing some diabolical guerilla marketing scheme or having an existential crisis.
I, for one, will not be purchasing any of his no doubt tawdry and second-rate wares. Indeed, if you're reading, I do say this to you Mr Viller: "I bid you good day". [Exits, pursued by a bear]
