#9 , I was aware of that, just havin' some fun. Hope I didn't hurt your feelings.
OP reminded me of this: I was on a framing crew in Tarrant/ Parker counties in the early 90s. A guy goes to the store for lunch break, comes back and says " hey ya'll, look what I just got!" He bought an sks and 1k rounds for 75 bucks. Still in cosmo wrapped in plastic. Well, by the end of the day, almost everyone had a new setup. Hot? maybe, maybe not. Were we all crazy? hell yeah. I ended sellin' mine to my bro. He still has it. We tease each other about it. He hasn't shot it in a long time. I think he is scared of it. It is kind of junky.
We always saw that same van somewhere on a lot or corner sellin' rugs, flags, black velvet, and other things.
