Once upon a time in a galaxy far far, oops wrong intro. Let me start over...Many years ago i saw a listing for an ASL poster and slept on it. When i woke i couldn't remember if i had dreamed it or not. When i saw that it was no longer for sale i didn't need to pinch myself, i was wide awake. Fast forward to a couple days ago and low and behold not one but two listings for this phantom ad. So the confession comes by way of two roads: the first is yes I cast a coin in the ring and two is i won, well not the first one. I should do some explaining. I mentioned there were two listings of this and im pretty sure i know why the lister did this. Simply put, he was merciful. (Here comes the thankyou part) He knew that a slew of drooling fingers would most likely weed out the cautious and so for the meek, he provided another opportunity and i thank him. I initially thought i had it in the bag but no it slipped away, again. How many years would it be until this resurfaced? Five minutes. I popped my knuckles did some deep knee bends and readied my trigger finger. Bam, my finger presses the button of destiny...will it hold? Here comes someone, trying, but time runs out and yours truly will have to wait no more. I lock the safety switch on my finger and ponder the consequences. What about those that missed out? I know how they feel. It sucks. And so i am sorry. But time is on their side and the law of averages suggests this thing will emerge from cold dead hands at some point. In the meantime, do a little target practicing with those fingers and wait... your patience will pay off, trust me.
Just for those of you who are wondering, it is my understanding that the wrenches and glass thingy are not included.
And to my better half who actually reads some of these posts from time to time, oh yes, this will be getting framed and hung on the wall with care, sorry (actually i'm not that sorry.)
