Hick Has a Bud Light

If I didn't know better, I would think Hick is putting his SUS2.5 (Storage Unit Store 2.5) above finishing Bargain House and getting it on the market! Not only did Hick hang a chandelier in his SUS2.5 this week, and put out his precious advertising sign shingle, but he also had a Bud light!

"New light I hung in shop today."

Oh my gosh! I TOLD you that you could probably find a Mogwai in that place! Where to start? Obviously, there's the Budweiser light that Hick hung. He said it's supposed to revolve, but that part of it is broken. Hope he got a discount, heh, heh!

I knew what the six black-handled things were, hanging from the ceiling. They're steels, for sharpening knives. You can't be the wife of a man who was in charge of a butcher-products-manufacturing company and not know that!

I asked about the horn-shaped thingies in front of the light. "Them's powder horns. For black powder rifles. You carry the powder in 'em, to load into the rifle to shoot." No idea if they are actual animal horns, or reproductions.

"What are those things on the right, that look like shoe soles?"

"They're for boots. What I wear on the back of my boots. What do you call those things? Cowboys use 'em to make their horse go faster. SPURS! That's what they are. They're spurs." [I'm glad Hick figured that out, because he doesn't wear boots anymore, and I have never, ever seen him wear spurs. Nor have I ever known him to ride a horse.]

"Why do you have a gun under the light? Is it old? Does it work?"

"It's a pop gun. Like a Daisy BB gun. But it don't shoot nothin'. It just makes a POP sound when you shoot it. Down below, on that sign with all the past sheriffs in the county, is another gun, but it ain't real. It might even be ceramic. It's just decoration made onto the frame of their pictures."

"What's that bright orange circle thing?"

"It's a light! I sell them. They're like emergency lights, for if your car breaks down or something. They give off all kinds of light. They flash, and they spiral."

"Whose head is in the picture?"

"Oh, that's just my buddy who came in while I was taking the picture."

I also see a deer head poking out behind the light, and a fish tail on the right side. Then there are three things hanging under the nose area of the deer head. I zoomed in on the picture, to take a look.

"What are those three things? Forks? They have two tine things, like forks."

"I don't know what you're talking about. There ain't no forks."

"On each side of that red and yellow thing that looks like a fishing bobber."

"Oh. Them's fishing lures."

"Why do they look like forks?"

"I don't know. They do, kind of. But they're all three fishing lures, just in different colors."

I guess maybe I needed one of the 2,347 pairs of binoculars to get a better view...
