The Big Six Group – full of it and spreading it thicker and thicker

They are really funny to say the least. They are the Big Six. They sit in McDonalds from about 8 Am until just before 9 AM at which time they exit quickly. I have yet to figure out just who they are really… what they do now or what they represent completely.

My guess is that there are Six Happy Wives somewhere each morning that are getting their lives adjusted to the fact that the Big Guy isn’t at home bugging her with all his stories.

The fact is that the Big Guy(any one of them of the Big Six) doesn’t talk to his wife much, but rather grunts in either affirmation or protest.

But at McDonalds they don’t grunt, they brag and brag and brag. They shoot the Bull all over the place. In fact it is so thick at times I am convinced that McDonalds will have to scrub down the walls where they sit.

Now I should explain that they sit in almost a circle, two on one side of a double table(south side) with no one at the other side of that table. Two more at the double table just north of the first two’s table. Then two more grab individual, moveable chairs and place them at the east and west side of the table.

The same men sit in exactly the same place each morning – there are no changes at all.

Now you need to know they are Big Men – making up the Big Six group.

But like any group there are some that are more powerful than others. They have the most to say and are the loudest as well.

This AM it was like watching the King hold court. The dude sitting on the west chair was able to maintain almost complete control of the entire hour. This was the King for the day… or hour… or that conversation and story telling.

But after the King told a great and tall story that required timing and precise Bull spreading.. he was scooped royally. Big Six Red in the Face laid out an unheard story that he pulled from the deep dark past.

Big Six Red in the Face told how he was headed south to cross the border into the USA to take up the job that he was offered by a large company. He arrived at the Border and was about to cross into the USA. They stopped him and arrested him, took his tool kit away and put him in jail.

It was dead quiet at that point. The Big Six was stone still as they waited for what happened next.

The Big Six Red in the Face completed the story mentioning he was 19 when that happened.

Big Six Red in the Face is now about 79 years old – which is likely the average age of the Bull spreaders.

How do I know this? How can I tell you what happens so clearly. I sit just behind the King and his court. Big Six Red in the Face sits on his left – in one of the north seats.

With Big Six Red in the Face sits with Gigantus. This man has to be at least 6 foot 6 inches or more. He is really big and lumbers a bit when he walks out to his car to leave.

Beside Gigantus is the Corvette Dude. Every morning he runs another Corvette story past these other guys… just to make them jealous I am sure.

To his left and sitting at the south table is the Har Har Man. No matter what is said he cracks a joke and then laughs loudly at his own humor. His comments are generally ignored by the rest. But some of his stories prompt Big Red in the Face to tell another one.

With Har Har Man is the gentle little White Haired Guy that waits for a turn to say something, agrees with everyone else all the time and does every say much. White Haired Guy likely was the last guy to be picked for Scrub Baseball on the old school yard.

But then there is the King… wrinkled face, reddish cheeks and the voice that never quits. He is always telling a One Up On You story. If they all have done it before, he has done it bigger, better, more extreme than any of the other Big Six.

That is true except for this morning when Big Six Red in the Face went to a jail cell at the border for trying to sneak into the USA.

The King was able to tell the guys that his wife does most of her shopping near where that happened….

Who are the Big Six group at McDonalds?

My guess is that they are former G.E. Employees(General Electric) – that worked together tightly on the factory floor.. now retired they have their early morning chin wag and Bull spread sessions between 8 and 9 AM.

One thing I know for sure… there are at least six very happy wives that are alone for almost one full hour… maybe more each morning!

Would you like to join me for coffee one morning soon. I can talk loud and you can laugh. Wait till the Big Six hear about me eating Snake and Eel! You can laugh and egg me on… that reminds me.. did I tell you about the time that I ….
