I remember a company that used to advertise in popular mechanics magazines in the 90/2000s, it had a lot of stuff geared towards guys and you had to be 18 to order the magazine, it was the first place i saw those miniature airsoft guns, and they even had these desk display model guns. I just don't remember what the company was though, I am sure they arent around still though.

I'm trying to remember, it was almost like Sportsmans guide, met sharper image. I know they had blank guns, they also had things like "Pistol shaped TV remote"

Well, they did have a big feature article about 15-20 years ago that Area 51 packed up everything, shut down, and moved all its stuff to Dugway Proving Grounds.
And in the last ten years or so it’s all global warming nonsense.

That Area 51 article was written by some idiot named something-Wilson.  He got lost in the NV desert and assumed that A-51 had moved.  He picked somewhere in UT - that ended up just a couple miles from an interstate.  

He's a moron.
