"made by hand"
In an interesting linguistic twist I have heard hand made contrasted with manufactured.

Howcome the CP activists have not outlawed "man-ufactured"? Perhaps "homofactured"?

And I fully expect a "stranger" with the handle Master Bates to post here at any minute! As an historical interpreter who does a 19th century schoolmaster dubbed Master Peacock it occurs to me that since all the male teachers were called Master followed by their last name, a fellow named Bates couldn't very well be a schoolmaster, could he?  And since we're in full stroke with hand words how did handle come to mean an alias? Could it have had something to do with short-wave "ham" radio operators?

Not sure, but it does prove that CBs were around a LONG time ago. After all, Jesus Christ is the Messiah's handle.
Just like Hondas are mentioned in the Bible. And, like many things in the Bible, they were a lot bigger than they are now. Jesus and his apostles were all in one Accord!

It's time for dinner, so you boys put away your toys now and come in from playtime. And be sure to wash your hands.
Land o' Goshen; go away for a couple of days and come back to a Circle Jerk. Who won, anyway?
