I trashed my 'playtime' winter coat during a snowshoeing excursion a couple of weeks ago and never got around to replacing it. But I got a call today from someone asking me to do some outdoor first aid patrolling tomorrow night which made me realise that I should have replaced the coat. All I could think about was the long trek to the city I'd have to make tomorrow to find a coat... and the long trek back. Then, I had a thought: Perhaps the general store in the village would have something suitable; it's rare, but it's been known to happen.
(I have a point and I'm getting there.
)
So, I walked into the general store tonight and started to poke through the randomly 'organized' clothing racks when the sales clerk asked me what I was looking for. After I told her a 'black warm coat, zippered', she asked if it could be a man's coat and I shrugged. She rummaged for a bit and emerged triumphant holding...
What looked like a copy of MacGyver's black jacket with the orange lining! The poor woman had no idea why I burst out laughing. Unfortunately (fortunately?), the jacket wouldn't have been nearly warm enough, so I didn't purchase it. But, oh, I came close to doing so just for the geek factor!
Mac
oh, and more rummaging did turn up something suitable, whee!
"John Sheppard (writer) sent Richard Dean Anderson to Atlantis on MacGyver and Richard Dean Anderson sent John Sheppard (character) to Atlantis on Stargate.
My fandoms are getting to be confusing."
Don't you just love those moments of geekdom that only you and those crazy people on MOL would understand?
