American Pickers

[T. Cotten]

I don't think it hurts the industry, it may even do some good.....
But I still can't watch it.

Our reality show stars dropped in my storefront yesterday.
It was too much reality for them and they left in a hurry.

I have now have serious questions about the effect upon our hobby and industry.

Did you sell them anything Cotten? Or were they just browsing?

Steve!

Liberty is a service shop, and only sells modern reproduction, N.O.S., or thoroughly re-conditioned hardware directly associated with our services.
Variances are only extended as a courtesy.

They weren't even looking to learn.
After all, they are already experts.

(I can't sit for anything but cartoons; My favorite superhero was "The Sewer Urchin". Now there's a righteous "picker"!)

I'm a Foghorn Leghorn fan myself.

[T. Cotten]

But Bill,
How was Foghorn Leghorn a 'picker' of any sort, whether a garbage collector or a pirate? (Much less a Super Hero.)

The Sewer Urchin enjoyed a degree of luxury, collecting the cast-offs of a decadent society, without taking advantage of anyone. And he did it with dignity, inspite of his handicaps.

Yet like myself, he was stigmatized for crawling through others' filth.

He epitomized the American dream far more than a couple of opportunists preying upon others. Come to think of it, old Foghorn was always taking advantage of that young chicken hawk's ignorance, wasn't he.

Heckle & Jeckle woulda been good pickers, they were always runnin a scam.

[Chris Haynes]

I would like to buy some of their pickings for the value they put on them.

Hey Cottton how about the Tick? as a favorite super hero he even came with his own side kick. If not for the Tick the The Sewer Urchin would be nobody.

Slojo!

Yes of course, the Sewer Urchin was one of the many super-heros who sipped coffee at the Tick's favorite diner. But the Tick didn't pick out of garbage (like me), or pick away at anyone's life collection of memorabilia.

He was one tick that never sucked blood (back on topic). He couldn't even pick brains, although he needed to so badly.

Sorry for turning this into a cartoon thread folks, but that's all I have the attention span to watch. Movies bore me in minutes. I still haven't even sat down for "The World's Fastest Indian"!
I'm a dim viewer.

Gosh T-B,

If you've got a bone to pick with me, let me know.
(And keep in touch with Clark for me anyway.)

Back to honest picking,
Here's an alley gem I picked that I can't identify (gotta be Beezer?).
And nobody got ripped off!

If anybody wants it, PM me and I'll bring it t D-port and you can have it. Let's keep it out of the landfill!
