What is a curio and a relic...

It's not just guns....portrait of a Curio and Relic....

Yeah that old geezer is definately a C&R.

mousegunner, I've had the priviledge of meeting you, and at the risk of offending you, you are getting dangerously close to being a Curio/Relic yourself.

[Oh Shoot]

Well, relic maybe. I can relate to that.

But one can be a curio at any age, as definition of curio is not age dependent.

Then again, MG probably fits that, too.

He's a fine one from what I know. I just saw an opportunity to pick at him a bit and took it. Actually, he didn't look near the age in his profile.

Yup, I'm definitely a curio, and a relic, and an old curmudgeon, too! Darn tootin!

When I was a kid (see that proves it) I grew up watching the Lone Ranger, Sky King, Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, Johnny Mack Brown, Gene Autry etc. The hero cowboys were good with their guns, and always on the side of the angels. So, yes, I'm a curio and relic, and don't mind a bit. Kid me all you want. Anyway, I pretty much asked for it!

Although we've never met, I'd say you are most definitely a fine example of a "Southern Gentleman"...and I take that from your reputation and your posts. But...we do seem to agree on a lot of things and your perspective matches mine somewhat. So therefore, if we share any resembleance at all..you most certainly are a crumudgeon, if not a curious old relic of days and times gone bye. Just like me!!
