New site? Maybe some day.

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. |

Hahaha, That's a funny story. |

well... did they? |
|
i think a gromitt is the metal eye hole in the corner of a tarp |
|
The Dick's sporting goods department head should be titled the Dick head |

The same reason they would have tarps.
camping, boating, hunting, etc.

yeah well I would expect grommets at a hardware store, but now that I think about it I suppose it's not unlikely that they'd have grommets with the tarps. . |

ha, he's the Dick Head as far as myself, and his family are concerned. |
|
They should great customers by saying 'Good dick, sir' |
|
I always thought grommits where those rubber O-rings on my bong slide that make my bong pull air-tight. |
|
arent you thinking of a gasket? |
|
Can anybody reccomend a hunting store or any place that might sell glo-mitts?? |
|
mitts that glow in the dark would easily alert animals of the hunter's presence. why would anyone want those? |
|
try any wal-mart south of the mason-dixon line, you should be all set. heh heh. |
|
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. |

So no one pulls a Dick Cheney. |
|
Mike try searching froogle.com.
You can arrage search results by price. |
|
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. |
|
if you cant kill the beast with your bare hands, you shouldnt hunt |
|
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 |

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. |

ha, that was the first place I went to actually. No way I'd get it here in time for Christmas unless I paid retarded amounts for shipping. Good selection though. |

A friend of mine hit a deer while he was driving drunk. He didn't know what to do so he got out of the car and tried to strangle it to death. A cop finally showed up, and was appropriately mortified. |

Funniest thing I have read all day. I would have just ran it over a few more times.
|
|
haha, I just can't get used to hearing people say they shop at a store called Dick's. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
