What are your favorite A & F memories/gear? Mine is, hands down, G &
H...well, maybe the Paynes...well, wait...maybe the...OK, just to make
it simple, the whole flockin' place...and if you have to ask "what the
hell is 'A & F' or 'G & H,'" for shame, for shame...

...and my ears are still not the same from a 3-4 years-ago wander into
the desecration of the main NYC store...if I ever get the chance, I'm
gonna find out if whoever is responsible for the aforementioned
blasphemy can work a like-new-in-the-box Herter's snipe call with their
colon...

ah that was a store.....emphasis on WAS, as noted, although I am not going
to get all crazy with the snipe calls.

i first experienced the place in the mid 50's, on a summer stay in nyc
that was hardly voluntary...another story, as they say...at any rate,
it was the most beautiful environment i had ever experienced. i say
"experienced" because one didn't just see it--it had a wonderful odor,
and the tactile pleasures were endless. and the awesome silence of
the place... the carpets, the soft spoken sales staff, all of whom
appeared to a boy from rowan county, nc, to be the lords of london,
all in a single spot...

it was a dream come true. i bought their yearly catalogue for decades
afterwards, just to dream me up a place i had loved.

It was the smell of adventure...and it wasn't from a ****in' aerosol
can....

Stroll on in to the desecration next time you're in good ol'
Gotham...you'll be eBay'ing up snipe calls...maybe even shopping for
carpet tacks and caulk...

Seriously, I rarely get truly worked up over such things, but I'll admit
right here in front of God, ROFF, and whoever reads this, that if some
guy had walked up to me on or near that (thankfully) one and only visit
and told me THEY were to "thank" for the change, one of us would have
been ****ting teeth for a week...and if it had been a women (no "lady"
would have participated), I'd have done my best to make sure she was
asking if the customer wanted fries with their order within the week.

If venerable old institutions, like good ol' dogs, must die, they
deserve a dignified passing, one hell of a wake, and a quiet burial
attended by close friends, not to be stuffed, put on the street, and
gawked-at by little ****asses in $40USD wifebeaters and buttfloss they
can't fill up, badly dancing to a sorry excuse for "music."
