Conspiracy
Collector Expands Into Entire Row At Local Self-Storage Facility
Notes Dramatic Surge In Material as of Late
7/19/03 - Tom Kensington, owner of the U-Store Self-Storage
facility on state highway 335 outside Amarillo, Texas, announced
to his children today that he would be able to afford their college
educations.
"I'm grateful.
I'm a little shocked, and hungry, but mostly grateful," said
Kensington, as he posed for a picture with his star storage-space
renter, self-proclaimed "conspiracy collector" and longtime
resident Brad Reynolds.
Brad Reynolds
is the keeper of one of the world's largest collections of evidence
supporting most of the widely-held (as well as some unwidely-unheld)
conspiracy theories. Starting out with a few shelves worth of material
following the JFK assassination, Brad had managed to keep his collection
limited to 8x10x8 worth of space, until 2001 rolled around.
"I had
information on alien abductions, Watergate, sports scandals, stacks
of court documents, Flight 800, you name it, all neatly organized
in one storage unit," says Reynolds. "And then, of course,
ya know, that, uh, day that changed everything, that nine-eleven.
It changed everything for me too. Suddenly, here was the mother
of all conspiracies, and within a year I found myself with mountains
of information stacked to the roof. It was total disarray, man!
I had to spread out ... it took me a while to get organized, but
I'm finally there."
Indeed, Reynolds
now occupies a row of thirty equally sized self-storage units, but
it didn't come cheap, or so Kensington thinks.
"Basically,
I says to him, 'if you want all this freaking space, you need to
pay ahead, like at least 20 years worth of renters fees.' Whammo,
he writes me this $50,000 check, which I plan on cashing when my
first kid is ready for college in 2014."
Attempts by
this writer to alert Kensington of the potential scam were called
off by the 'cutthroat' hand-gesturing performed by Reynolds, standing
beyond the inattentive Kensington.
