So I finally managed to wrestle my photos from my still-broken still camera (gonna need to look into a new one) and I thought I’d lead with this photo.
Yep that’s Gunny R. Lee Ermey doing his thing for the good people at Glock. Let me tell you he was a popular guy, as the line was quite long. Still I had a clear opening just on the other side of the rope line to snap a few pictures. I also did a little eavesdropping on what he was saying to the autograph hunters. I must say he stuck me as a very humble and nice man. He was certainly stopping to have a nice word with everybody who took the time to shake his hand. Put a smile on my face for sure.
A few hours later the water I was drinking had finished its run, and I stepped into the head to give it leave. With 70,000 people the convention center was PACKED, this also went for the Men’s room. thankfully there was a single urinal free, and I bellied up to it, eyes forward.
Then I heard a distinctive voice. Just using my peripheral I peeked out of the corner of my eye, and who was in the Urinal to my starboard side? Yep, Gunny Ermie!
No I didn’t look any further you pervert! Still funny little meeting. I would have liked to have shaken his hand, but my hand, but that would have been more than a little rude!

That’s why I always have a couple of ladies to hold mine up for me.

You have pissed in the presence of greatness.
I envy you.

Best thread of comments EVER!
Sweet Daughter remembered him from last year and wanted to stand in line to see him again. And he remembered her from last year. Hmmm. I smell a post of my own …
Right after I took that picture a man and a little girl about SD’s age come through and Gunny really seemed to enjoy talking with her.
