Define: "Tactical Tommy" and "Trunk Monkey"

[SailDesign]

Maybe his Tactical briefs were too tight on his "testacticals". It can cause shift in point of impact. Should try Tactical boxers next match. Of course at Ben Avery, they must be in desert camo!

We see folks (shoot, ALL of us see these folks) that use the whole target area at 7 yards. Every. Square. Inch.

I call 'em Frugal Shooters, coz they don't waste an inch of paper. Me? I like to waste all the edges i can, just use the middle if at all possible..

EDIT: This wiki tells the story of why it's a Subaru thing...
Trunk Monkey - Wikipedia

 

[BARgunner]

When my shooting buddies and I go varmint shooting in Idaho, the Trunk Monkey is the guy who draws the short straw and gets to climb into the back of the canopy covered truck bed and hand out all the shooting gear. I think I'll order one from Suburban Auto Group!

 

[Steve912]

Does he still live in his Momma's basement?
Does she still make those delicious egg salad sandwiches?
And I bet she still trims off the crust!

And, he's a "TACTICAL FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR"!!!

 

[Tyrod]

I especially liked the donut part.

That 's not a monkey in the video. It's a chimp. They're apes, not monkeys.

I studied Primate Behavior in college and learned this kind of stuff.

How do you know it's not a bonobo?

T-Star:

While you are correct, I think they were simply using "poetic license" with the "Trunk Monkey" moniker!! After all, "Trunk Chimp " just doesn't roll off the tounge like "Trunk Monkey"!!! And "Trunk Ape" just plain doesn't work...

I've been considering some alternatives: "Practical Primate" has a sort of ring to it, but "Practical Tactical Primate" is a little cumbersome.

All in all, considering the humorous nature of the videos, "Trunk Monkey" will probably be around for awhile.

Best Regards, Les

Yeah the trunk monkey thing evolved from the commercials to mean your trunk gun, as in "I picked up a used 870 for my trunk monkey."

Haven't heard Tactical Tommy, but I've heard Tactical Timmy. Usually used by IPSC-type gamers to disparage anyone who does crazy stuff like use an IWB holster or use cover in a match, basically anything that's geared more to the real world then squeezing out every available point. Makes them feel better about themselves, I guess.

Thanks, Sir Buzzby Killington.

You gots to go to college to learn that monkeys gots tails and apes don't?

Gorsh.

Remember people, this is supposed to be fun, mostly clean, and somewhat lighthearted. I really did like les b.'s line about poetic license.

How 'bout "Ape in the Box"?

 

[Rustyt1953]

From my native land: "Boot Baboon".

When I saw "Tactical Tommy" I pictured something like this:

I think that is a picture of "Gecko 45".

 

[SailDesign]

I think that is a picture of "Gecko 45".

Yup! Has to be.

 

[Rule3]

Well I'll be a Monkeys Uncle

Suburban Auto group is actually a "real" place.

They have other videos

"How do you know it's not a bonobo? "

I wish I had been born a bonobo. They have lots of fun. Most zoos don't want them as they have so much fun.

Many zoologists consider the Bonobo as being the closest primate to humans, more so than Chimps.

 

[codenamedave]

I'm thinking that what with the tubes, fake armor, type of "gun", and the background, he's more likely a low-rent cosplayer. Mall Ninjas/Excessively Tactical folks, like the main man Gecko45, tend to have real gear, albeit really unnecessary.

This one sure seems to have a lot of fun.
