Oh yeah baby... They are both SO gone.
Got my notice in the mail today. I can pick up my new package (the top one in the picture
) after 1PM tomorrow. So I am going to screw around with my guitars and get really drunk so I don't wake up early and have to endure more waiting.
:barf:
I knew that my secret arcane delivery ritual would do the trick.
Too bad I was out swimming and not nude at the front door when the post-person came. Now they want CDN$27.71 (US$18.00) in duties. Free trade my @$$...:grumpy:

"You now will have the life-experience of the Relativity Theory:
The more you want the khukri you ordered, the slower the seconds will pass, and the more difficulties (imagined or real) the delivery systems will encounter as you wait.
Throughout the world, small shrines have been erected to facilitate the delivery of HI Khuks. Not sure, but there may have been candles lit and incense burned.
Do NOT think of postal workers' strikes.
Congratulations, geezer...you're about to fall in love."
Good thing I'm not the type to say I told you so.
NOTE OF CAUTION:
Do NOT open the package in the Post Office!
Do NOT open it in your car.
Go home. Lock the door. Then open the package.
The sight of a happy HI khuk owner waving and stroking his new tool is somewhat disconcerting to the uninitiated.
Enjoy.

Philthygeezer hasn't been heard from since he went to collect his new HI khuk?
Picture the doors locked, the shades drawn, the phone off the hook, the computer unplugged.... and a mad dance taking place in the light of Canadian Candles, bounding from room-to-room, with shrieks, yells and incantations, as the khukri flashes in the flickering light.
I'm telling you, those Canadians are SCARY!

Hullo,
Having just finished re-connecting with my ISP, my phone company and my employers, I thought I'd drop in again and say hello.
I didn't want to post anything until I had a clear mind and a definite impression of what I had just recieved. Also it took a long time to put all the candles out.
Uncle Bill, you are truly now my Uncle - like it or not! Thank you for one of the most beautiful things I have ever owned. My Fender American bass guitar and Sher's handmade Khukuri occasionally give each other a jealous look as they pass each other in the house. So I am very careful to keep them separate, because there is little doubt as to who would win if they got in a fight. Makes the hair on the back on my neck stand on end just thinking about it.
I am amazed that something this exceptional could be made by human hands. It is a truly functional piece of art.
This is turning into a wonderful experience!
I have done some rudimentary frolicking in the back yard, and will post about that very soon. Something about boreal carnage I think...
Thanks Everyone!

On being Canadian:
Our major export products are doctors and Hollywood actors. Sometimes even Hollywood doctors. We are quiet, polite, fun-loving, peaceable folk with strange ways, strong beer and weird animals on our money (on both sides!).
However we have world-class forces at the ready to preserve and protect this way of life: Four majestic submarines lie prepared in West Edmonton Mall, ready to guard the mighty North Saskatchewan river against armed incursion. Two mighty warships patrol Canada's coastline (one on each side), and I personally own a Crosman 357 revolver and a very large knife (mind you, there is talk about banning the Crosman:grumpy: ).
After all, you know what they say, "It's the quiet ones you gotta watch out for...". Don't worry, we got it covered up here: Whatever we don't stop; the snow, blackflies and mosquitoes will.
Congrats on yer 400th post, Raghorn!

Geezer you got to rethink this. Now we know some instruments have a vibe; they come alive in your hands. So do the kuks. I let some of my kuks stay around the music.......seems to help their feelings when I don't have time to work in the back 40. I think my guitars understand.....kuks + buckshot-loaded shotgun=serenity & peace. Play a little "32-20 Blues" by ole Robert Johnson before you get ready to take the kuks to work.
