Blast from the past for the Gunstop Old Timers
Posted: Fri Nov 22, 2013 10:20 am
This is for those of you that used to visit the Gunstop in Excelsior 20 years ago or more, and if you remember there was an old fart's club that had a circle of chairs in the back and would sit there and BS. There was no internet, so you had to RTFM to get anywhere, so the number of clueless n00bs who wanted to buy a 550 and get started reloading yesterday was non-existent, and John was a pretty funny guy.
I just flashed on one old guy who had a very distinctive appearance, and he always wore a pair of denim bib overalls with this pouch added going from his hips to his knees in the front of the overalls. Best I could figure without asking was that he had been morbidly obese, and as he got old his tendons and muscles all let loose, and he had this big flap of belly fat hanging all the way down to his knees. It was kind on an eerie sight when the guy came in to join the circle. It just occurred to me when I though of this that the pet hippopotamus might turn out that way in about 20 years in nothing else happens...
Hey!! You gonna eat the rest of that sammich??
