I was at Costco yesterday and almost took a sniper gun up to a tower in a fit of rage when I became aware that there were no dill pickles in that whole entire store!! Mad Well, I wrote a note in blood red ink begging~ threatening them to get some real soon, or else!! Wink

So, what is it that you all crave for that you absolutely cannot find? Thanks for sharing.

I live in Gwangju far from the department stores so I can say Cheese, and plain cream cheese! They don't have that here! What a tragedy!

check out emart.. they have then distributorship on many western products.. 'i can't believe it's not butter' is a religion in my house, only sold by emart and smaller stores (carrefour has it too, i have to work out how). clef will soon change to carrefour, they will have your gear.. just round the corner from hyundai d/store. and i have another friend that deals with imported products in between both stores (if she doesn't have it, she will in a few days.. just need to ask). your shout for coffee and i will hook you up.


i want a big, fat, 700g rump steak. i want sausages without paying 10 thou for 8. i want the old el paso taco/burrito/enchilada kits. i want a decent selection of herbs for a reasonable price. i want an oven. i want sliced leg ham. i want a bag of frozen peas. i want the top of a leg of pork (not the bottom). i want VB.

that'll do for a while

Have you heard that song "The Ballad of Charles Whitman" by Kinky Friedman? Sort of a take off on that. Been playing too much Rogue Spear I guess. Smile

Yea, but what were you going to do with the sniper ?

Quote:
Sniper (noun)

1. A skilled military shooter detailed to spot and pick off enemy soldiers from a concealed place.
2. One who shoots at other people from a concealed place.


Talk dirty to him ... ?

I think you meant sniper rifle ....

I would suggest BTW a PSG-1 or a WA-300, I think a Barret .50 would be a bit to heavy and long.
