LOL, amen. Add anything GEC related and everyone suddenly becomes a personal injury lawyer.If there’s one thing I’ve learned on Blade Forums it’s that there’s a small army of folks salivating at the chance to catch someone in the act of breaking the rules.
We don't need any of those!! Everyone stay calm now!!!a personal injury lawyer

Thinking about the number of knives potentially produced makes me wonder about the 97s, anybody have insight on why they cranked out roughly 6K of those?
I seem to remember those being an open order, they made as many as the dealers wanted.Thinking about the number of knives potentially produced makes me wonder about the 97s, anybody have insight on why they cranked out roughly 6K of those?
Essentially you are correct, but bear in mind the latest & controversial scholarship contends that the original title and intent of the piece were different. This New School argues that the work was entitled ' Up S**t Creek Without a Paddle' The Unending Nightmare that is FOMA or Flippers Bereft of Bait. Hence the anguish and self hatred etched on the faces of those about to meet their doom. .N.B. no beards or berets here, rather patrician greying hair and a tweed suit...or else a U-Boat Commander's uniform from the Kaiserliche Kriegsmarine - pre Scarpa FlowCue bearded art critic with pipe and beret voice:
AAH YES ...A classic masterpiece from the Porchenberg school ...The Tirade of The Narwhales by Guillermo Powavecchio if I'm not mistaken...it is said to represent the epic voyage of the Porchenbergers in their quest for the 2021 BF knife....Pictured are those whose faith is strong ..striving to reach the fabled treasure kept the tiny lighthouse far right on the hill. Also those who have abandoned hope and cast their fates to the wind.....Bottom right can clearly be seen the image of a sharks dorsal fin ...the pelagic predator driven into a feeding frenzy by the constant repetitive questioning and hand wringing.....Interestingly the painting was never shown in the Space for Porchenberg Art Place (the SPAP) and the artist banned along with any mention of the word "flippant" due to its negative connotation..
Either that or it's one the clever forgeries that prevail in these threads both literal and pictorial. The painting could also be the infamous "Too Big A Night With The Lads On A Houseboat" by notorious Porchenberg graffiit street artist emako...whose true identity still remains unknown.
