| - Four stars for you, Bass Pro Shops! Good for you, Bass Pro Shops!
There are so many reasons to love this store. To quote Freak Nasty from his 1997 much celebrated hit single, Da Dip: "You know it don't even matter your age; it don't even matter your color. Yo, fellas, I ain't forgettin' 'bout y'all. This is for everybody who like to dance." Particularly if Mr. Nasty was to be using the word dance as a metaphor for being outside. Which I'm going to assume was his intended purpose. Death of the Author and all that.
You want to buy a high powered crossbow? This is your place. I mean, even if you don't want to buy one - they're fun to look at, aren't they? But let us say that cross bows aren't your thing - perhaps you think of them as a the weird silver CGI character in the music video for Freak's infamous song... there, but better when unseen.
If you go fishing, there's no place to go anywhere else for your gear. The different types of lines, alone, fill a wall. And rods, reels, tackle? Ohh - I think I understand what it's like for some of my friends to go shoe shopping when I'm in those hallowed halls.
Then there are boats, and all that good stuff. But also pillows that are shaped like giant fish.
Finally - one of those big light gun arcade diorama things, where you shoot the little target and a sound plays, and things spin around, and move. Those are super fun!
I guess you can also buy a real gun there, but that's a whole different crowd.
Ohh! And the clothes! They're great. Honest and true. It has replaced Mark's and MEC as my default shop. When they have sales on, it's time to commit. Join that with a points card, and you're golden.
