People you might meet at the Indy 1500 - long

[techres]

That was awesome!

Great post. Finally read the whole thing.

Never been to the 1500, but it could apply to the gun shows I've attended.

 

[snorko]

you forgot the dealer who harasses EVERY person walking by with a gun - "Hey whatchya got there!"

 

[Crystalship1]

Are they the ones with the Boxer puppy?

Yeah I think so. Usually near the smoking (or prior-smoking area) area towards the rear.

How about the guy who forgot to put on deodorant this morning and insists on walking extremely slow. I seem to always get stuck behind him.

Sgtar15: Sarge is getting up there in years and quite possibly insane, but everyone at the convention loves him. He makes his way around the convention with a cardboard box labeled "Sgtar15 Productions" and full of vintage G.I. Joes he finds at various tables. A lovable character, he manages to creep out many of the gun show attendees nonetheless. The only gun related item he will buy is a brick of .22lr ammo "because of my back".

What? No one caught this?

I found Rick at the Crown Point gun show!!! Got a decent deal.

He didn't forget and it wasn't just this morning...

And not only does he walk slow, he stops in the middle of the aisle to talk to his 800 lbs buddy who has been sorta half ass walking right next to him for the last 20 minutes blocking everything like a couple of jacktards.



I did the last 1500 on crutches, about killed me, but everybody pretty much gave me the row..

Yeah, a thread being brought back from the dead. Had a good laugh even though it had nothing to do with my search.

Thanks reviving that. I just spent the last 45 minutes reading it.

 

[finnegan]

This pretty much describes the Knob Creek Machine Gun shoot as well. Good read.

 

[Tactical Dave]

I got to Tom and figured that I had to be almost done and when I saw I was not I could read no more.

 

[VN Vet]

I've met a few of those people.

Vv

 

[stephen87]

Yup, a super-secret decoder ring.

Drink more Ovaltine? A crummy commercial?

 

[williamnewman1]

i enjoyed the post, spent some time i should have been working reading it, entertaining none the less

 

[Kedric]

I thought it was a great post. Not only did I read it all, but I am almost positive I have laid eyes on each and every one of them at one point or another.

Thanks for the resurrection!

 

[youngda9]

I can't believe you would stereotype and lump people into just a few groups like that

65 buy my count.

 

[eldirector]

You missed one....

We'll call him "Michael" - Hawking stickers, hats, shirts, and such for a website that no one has heard of, but supposedly has thousands of members. He greets everyone by some secret code name, and shares some inside joke about "that time when so-n-so got perma-banned" (whatever that is). Friendly enough, but the geek is strong with this one.



(please don't ban me)

 

[Indy_Hunter68]

Yep. You nailed it.

 

[superjoe76]

Thanks for resurrecting this! I chuckled at quite a few of them.
