Every now & then passing thru the LR when "Pawn Stars" might be on the TV and will see some son or grand-son pawning some 1-only artificact or special thing from their role in a great action, etc. Reason (e.g.): "Well, my daughter graduated college so I want to make a little money & take her out to the casino down the street for a special night out."

Fraggin' jerk-offs. Makes me want to reach through the TV and grab that yokel up by the stackin' swivel.


If my Dad's stuff ever left my position it'll go to the CAF or the museum at Wright-Patt...
