Good Morning Hunter Group (say it again like Robin Williams in “Good Morning Vietnam” – yell it real loud and watch people look at you weird)
I stopped off at Sonny’s Surplus the other day. They say you can never go back to your childhood, but this place is almost there. Sonny’s just has oodles of neat stuff. Camping gear, backpacks, most of all, gadgets that you have no idea of what their intended use is.
What’s really cool is the surplus army stuff they have there. Vintage 1940 field telephone switchboards (every camper needs one of these). Army helmets and clothes and lots of bombs and bullets. It’s sorta like when you were a kid and got the G.I. Joe (kung-Foo grip, no less) with all the junk and accessories. (I actually got the submarine once)
Just to let you know what I got – the entire field pack set up, a complete outfit of camouflage clothes (now I don’t have to worry if I get food on my shirt), a really cool beret, and a snake bite kit. The snake bite kit will come in real handy. Now I don’t have to worry about getting bit by a snake in downtown Baltimore. I can just whip out that kit and suck the venom right out. The city has never been so safe!
I also picked up some great Disc Space Conservation Society surplus gear. Interrogation chairs, restraints, old pizza boxes and a shirts that say, “Did you erase your e-mail today?” and “Save a disc, use paper”. They were having an autograph signing in the rear, but I think I recognized the guy from the last time I left a bunch of these on the server. I decided not to stay.
To get off the list – e-mail me, or send some more cool camouflage stuff. To get someone on the list, another e-mail me with their measurements for their new DSCS T-shirt.
