Man, I love calling stores for things....[views:2387][posts:33]_________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 12:38pm - xmikex ""] So my father is into shooting. I was looking into getting him a pair of hunting glomitts so he can shoot in the winter. I found some online, but they want way too much to ship them. So I call Dick's Sporting Goods. I waited on hold for 10 minutes to talk to the head of the hunting department (oh wow). I ask if they carry glomitts. He says no... I ask him what other kinds of shooting gloves they carry. He puts me on hold for another 5 minutes only to come back and ask me "Oh did you say glomitts or GROMITS?" Apparently they carry gLomitts (a pretty common item for hunting supply stores and also what I asked for) but not gRomitts (the fictional claymation dog from the Wallace & Gromitt features). I wonder if they guy actually put me on hold to go check and see if they had any fictional claymation cheese eating dogs in stock. |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 2:02pm - hungtableed ""] I always thought grommits where those rubber O-rings on my bong slide that make my bong pull air-tight. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 2:05pm - hunterhunter ""] arent you thinking of a gasket? |
| ________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 2:36pm - xmikex ""] Can anybody reccomend a hunting store or any place that might sell glo-mitts?? |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 2:37pm - dreadkill ""] mitts that glow in the dark would easily alert animals of the hunter's presence. why would anyone want those? |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 3:40pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] try any wal-mart south of the mason-dixon line, you should be all set. heh heh. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 3:41pm - xanonymousx ""] dick's sporting goods has just about everything but a candle pin bowling equipment....(balls bags ect.) they even have an golden tee golf arcade type machine there... and yes hungtableed is thinking of gasket i believe. |

| __________________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 3:50pm - Dwellingsickness ""] No one has made any jokes about carrying around the "Dick's" shopping card yet, this is surprising. Although on here I bet the only person who might shop there enough to even have the card is Andy@Zero. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 3:53pm - hunterhunter ""] if you cant kill the beast with your bare hands, you shouldnt hunt |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 3:56pm - Dwellingsickness ""] Do you hunt? |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 4:02pm - hunterhunter ""] no, but if I did hunt deer i would try to stalk it from above until I could ram a spear between its shoulder blades, then choke the life out of it something about hiding behind a bush with a sniper rifle and a scope seems weak to me |

Although on here I bet the only person who might shop there enough to even have the card is Andy@Zero. You got me. Dick's is OK if you know what you want and you know where to find it in the store. Asking anyone there is useless -- I might get a more intelligent reply out of this desk or any other inanimate object. But it is better than Wal-Mart, and I will continue to shop there until they put that Cabelas in Hooksett. |

No way I'd get it here in time for Christmas unless I paid retarded amounts for shipping. Good selection though. |

I would have just ran it over a few more times. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 8:50pm - DwellingSickness ""] haha, I just can't get used to hearing people say they shop at a store called Dick's. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 19,2006 8:18am - xmikex ""] I went to the one in Dedham (Brockton was the one I called). I walked in, found what I needed in 5 minutes. Not a bad store if you never have to talk to anyone, or rely on anyone for anything. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 19,2006 8:49am - largefreakatzero ""] Exactly. I think they carry the Benelli auto-loader I want, but I'm going to direct my $1300 to someone else. The thought of dealing with some chucklehead at the Dick's gun counter makes my head hurt. |
