I'll bet he felt even stupider when he found out the off-licence was the next shop over........

Hey, I beat that guy the other day with my LatD!

See, this is why you're supposed to get the really thin 12 year olds to do stuff for you. Kind of like the way shoplifters work now since a juvie sentence is pretty much just a slap on the wrist.

I can't help but laugh when I think of a really overweight 6-foot guy get stuck in a shaft. Does that make me a bad person? I think it might stem from a subconscious hate of Santa Claus after I found out he was just a lie.

Then presumably this guy hadn't seen 'Oliver!' It's amazing what you can learn about people fromt just the smallest facts.

I just can't beleive a 280lb guy didn't consider that he might not fit through an air vent?  He must have wanted those games bad.

I doubt it was just about wanting the games. Kind of like how when
you have sex in prison it doesn't mean you're gay.

Wait, what?

The owners of the store:

Creates quite an image, doesn't it?  This nice old couple arrived at work one morning to find a dead fat intruder in their airshaft.

By the way, the store appears to be a crafts shop, not a gaming shop.

Hellfury! What is that place like? (That wasn't HF that died was it?) Aren't you in that neck of the woods?

Anyway, that place doesn't appear in any sort of store listing or comic shop locator that I am aware of, so I am guessing it is stamping and scrapbooking. Y'know, the OTHER hobbies...

I weigh more than the dead guy and I am not Fat!!!

Hey trooper, you didnt beat him with your LaTD army, he is now just one of the generic zombies included in said army!

Such disrepect for the dead!  Shame on you ALL.  A man DIED.  He left behind a wife!  This is no place to be jackasses.

Go to the OT Zone to be jackasses!

Treasure chest is indeed a hobby store. They carry oodles of stuff, from wargames to RC cars. You can get whatever your heart desires there. You just cannot game there. Alot like how hobby town stores are run.
But for larceny purposes, it is a better mark than the game shop would be. Hell, the owner has several hundred RC car engines that cost several hundred dollars a piece. Just to name one of the high priced items that shop carries.
Knowing Ken, he was after the RC stuff, not the gaming stuff. He was more of an RC kind of guy.

In all of montana, I can think of no other place to get what you want in one place. Its like a hobby town on crack...and successful.

And yes, I knew Ken. Not well, but I played a few games with him in the past. The guy ws going through rough times, etc.

For more info, go to the wasteland.

So, how long til I can make fun of him?

Oh hell, I did the day after I found out....You dont reward stupidity with grief.

If you think about it, he died as he lived -- stupid and greedy.

"Now I don?t want to hear any more of this nonsense about dying for your country, er hobby. You make the OTHER poor bastard die for his countr..er hobby! Remember men, when you stick your hands into a pile of goo that used to be your best mini?s face, well, you?ll know what to do. "

"Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy."

?We?re going to grab him by his [Falcon?s] nose, and we?re going to kick him in the [Falcon?s] a(censored). We?re going to go through him [his guardian squads], like crap through a goose. ?

Sounds like a candidate for the Darwin Award.

Unfortunately, I believe Hellfury said that he already procreated.

May the circle be unbroken, by and by, Lord, by and by...

How dare you show such disrespect for a man who died committing a crime and left behind other people, thus making them suffer for his stupidity.

What a tard. I hope his life insurance policy covers sheer idiocy for his kid's sake.

Actually, it is kind of a shame he died, though. I think it would have been much better if he survived and then got arrested after they cut his sorry behind out of the shaft.
