Nick would have killed me if I asked him to bring that home for me!!!! {sm4}
Zach...
I'm pretty sure this piece was at the show...
almost positive I saw it there...
maybe on Michigan Toy's table or the guy next to him...
he's sick right now...
the show kicked his rear end...
he has the flu and is on the mend...
He is sick, Tyler is sick, I got sick, John Stengle Jr sounded sick when I said goodbye to him at the hotel coffee shop Monday morning; driving halfway across the country, setting up rooms full of toy soldiers, working crazy hours, stuck in a hotel room breathing that crappy, recirculated air for a week, packing and humping the product downstairs Saturday and setting it all up Saturday night and Sunday morning, selling all day long, then packing it all back up and loading it into the van and then driving back home.
Gee, don't understand how any of us could get sick........:rolleyes2:..........then to top it off, Nick did a show the weekend before in VA, so he was on the road for twelve strait days; such is the life of a toy soldier dealer.
And truth be told; I wouldn't want it any other way, beats working for a living....................:wink2:
He is definitely out of control {eek3}
hey...
somebody sneezes on a box...
it starts an epidemic...
I touch it...you touch it...he touches it...it multiples geometrically...
towards the end with my Dad...
as he loved to go to the casinos and we would play Pai Gow...
seems like almost every time I took him...
he came home with a cold...
those poker chips that get passed from hand to hand...
they are like the perfect virus carrier...
to this day...
I wipe my shopping cart handles with those antiseptic towels by their front door before I put my hands on them...
now...
couple all that with the fact that you guys only get 3-4 hours of sleep a night for 5-6 day stretch...
and yea...you're the perfect host...
Well, I was around you bums for a few days, not to mention having to fly back and forth and be in close quarters with all those great people, and I feel great!
If I recall, Zach is a personal injury lawyer, which explains him putting banana peels and bars of soap on the floor of the hotel lobby, then handing out business cards to slip and fall victims in Chicago..............that's one way to fund a toy soldier addiction................:wink2:
George...
I stole a couple of bites of your ribeye when you went to the bathroom...and I feel okay too...^&grin
if you had drank 2-3 more drinks Friday night...
you would have killed any germs lurking in your body...
I figure if I nail one per show, it all works out!
Zach told me he had allotted 2 hours each day in Chicago for handing out business cards at the local hospitals...
right before I left...
we were talking on the front veranda...
we heard an ambulance in the distance...
Zach instinctively pulled out a business card and frantically sniffed the air like a bloodhound...
he told me he used to practice in Texas...
but had some legal problems there...
so he changed his name and grew that beard...
but I found one of his old videos...
The Texas Hammer...
