I was reading about that town in the National Geographic mag. Seems like a rough town. I hear you can never leave once you move in.

My friends went to a stripclub in Elko, while they were visiting there parents and saw a 300+ lb'er ride the pole. That is some rough shit.

The original Fry's was actually in Sunnyvale. Fry's History.

Yes, it was kind of a pit, but the running joke was that they had everything from Chips to Chips, those being computer and potato respecively. You'd go in for the former, and could nosh in the checkout line on all sorts of bad deep fried snack foods and sodas and pay for the empty bags and the computer stuff at checkout.

Seriously, theres a lot of mines surrounding the area, some mountains, and I80, thats about it. Lots of Whore houses.

Thanks Dean, we've completely derailed this thread...

I thought the first Fry's was in San Jose, but I think I'm thinking of the Good Guys on AlumRock...

Yea but it was sketchy.It was describing the history of the city and how it is a rough place where the old and new generations clash. Does that sum it up??
I mean is it really that rought that everyone packs guns??

OK, how did a geek thread turn into a Nevada geography/history lesson?

Moderators, get control. Oh wait, it is one of the moderators that is contributing to the diversion... :lol: :lol:

Oh, don't even get me started on how much ass Best Buy sucks. It sucks so much that employee's of Best Buy also suck.

Elko has a rep from like 100 years ago. Nowadays they have subdivisions, a Wal-mart and fly in 737's. They're trying to bill themselves as a tourist destination because the big mining boom is over for now. It's actually a pretty tame place for Nevada.

When I was a fifteen-year-old kid in Yerington (this little farm/ranch town about 1.5 hrs from Reno), somebody made the mistake of telling me that it was perfectly legal to carry, as long as it was open instead of concealed. So, I started wearing my .45 Colt everywhere. It makes for a good story now, I guess, and it was definately a better fashion statement than bell-bottoms or something.

That was back when I was driving a '73 Land Rover, and didn't know what a Subaru was.

So what would you rather have bug you at the store. A fry's employee or a Best buy employee?

I don't believe there is such a thing as a "Fry's Employee"

At least Fry's Employees know what they are lucid and coherent. And they don't start telling you stories about when Zombies attacked the store the other night.
