Also, speak in cryptic terms about how incredibly dangerous it is to be anywhere near the machinery when it's running. Or being worked on. Or set-up... it's really best to just stay the heck away from where the actual work happens at all times. And be very clear how office pogues should never, ever interrupt a pressman when he appears to be just standing there staring off into space, because he is actually pondering great mysteries of production management that will be very good for the company's bottom line and help us all get nice Christmas bonuses.

Different kind of Pressman, but I like the song.

I never found any humor in Seinfeld...

Snotty spoiled people feeling sorry for themselves... much the same as most sitcoms over the last couple decades. Remember when some of the characters on TV were actually likable? Like you might actually want to hang out with them if they were real? Now it seems every show is just about people treating each other like crap for a cheap giggle.

I guess I'm a curmudgeon, too.

Wow man, post up a picture! Lets see what you are working with here. AND NO MATTER WHAT, we ALL have done things like this. My grandpa was actually the one who showed me how to throw knives when I was around 6-7 (yah he was pretty damn cool) lol He also explained things to me about that not every knife is a throwing knife etc etc.... BUT on a whim as a kid I sent my Old Timer sailing in to the front porch... knife stuck, but then the handle came to meet the porch too... basically I just put a nice 90 degree angle in my blade towards the tip... Awesome... well needless to say I also had to figure out how to straighten it back out without anyone knowing. Still have the thing too!

Yeah, you can screw things up in a hurry with power tools... don't ask how I know.
Pics or it didn't happen! how bad? where will you send it?

Well it doesnt look AS bad now, but the tip is rounded and the edge on it sucks still. i spent quite a while trying to fix it before i gave up so it looks better now in the pics than it did but it still doesnt cut like it use to.

No idea where i will send it yet... But i want a 30 degree inclusive edge put on it. So i guess where ever i find that will put a nice 30 degree inclusive edge on it lol.

Tell me about it lol.

Well the pictures make it look better than it is... If i had something like a KME or similar id just do it myself, but i want a real good V edge put back on it and dont want to strop it and convex it.




 
Seinfeld.....the show about nothing. There were a few things about the show which were totally hilarious, but those were few. The characters were so neurotic and quirky that it was irritating most of the time.

Todd, sorry to hear about your friend.

I did not break the damn snark thread!! I did not lock it (I don't know how I could). Your computer just decided to suck at that moment. :D It happens.

I believe the minimum age is 50...but perhaps you qualify as a curmudgeon-in-training or an apprentice curmudgeon.

As a bonafide curmudgeon, I have to say that Mr. Terrio certainly exhibits the qualities necessary for the Title of curmudgeon. So if he is not of age chronologically, I would say that mentally, he is more than equal to the requirement. After reading many a post by Mr. Terrio, I think that it would be great fun to imbibe adult beverages until we were titrated well beyond the endpoint. While not exhaustively, I believe we share many the same view points on life, the universe and everything.

At any rate it would be great fun. Perhaps, one day, I will have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Terrio and some of the other fine people of the Becker forum.

We need to have a gathering! Any word when the eastern/central Beckerhead gathering will be? Where will it be?

Hmmm.

Let's go with brown.

That will work. BTW, it will be black on the inside and on the edges regardless, because that's just how I roll. I think it looks cool that way and anyone who don't like it can make their own damn sheath. :)

That sounds like a good deal of fun, and frankly it's even more fun when we disagree on some stuff, at least a little bit. It's just more interesting that way, and oddly enough I have been known to learn stuff from other people from time to time.

As long as it doesn't come to blows... I'm too damn fat and lazy to be dancing around trying to get away from people who are trying to thump on my noggin.

LMAO, yea i quit when i realized i wasnt going to get it back like it was. I held my head low and in shame, I accepted my defeat.

I truly appreciate the offer bud, i need to get your address and just let me know what i owe ya and ill send it with the knife next time im at the post office.

I think the worksharp might be going to a new owner soon, not that its a bad piece of equipment, but now i may be too worried ill mess something else up to use it again.

Very well said, Doc. I'd happily buy the beverage of your and Mr. T's choice and join you should we ever get to meet.
 
Damn, WW. Aren't you afraid of cuteness overload? That is a great looking dog. I used to work with an akita (our bike shop dog) who was named Bonsai (I think with an "s" and not a "z"....). Absolutely fantastic disposition. Big enough (about 100 lbs.) that every little kid that came in wanted to ride him. But that's a shiba inu, no? Cute pup regardless

Thanks man, and yes its a shiba inu. They are hard headed dogs from what i have read but really adorable. I have read they act a lot like cats and are independent, but hard to train.... Sounds like will fit in around here lol
 
Cute pup! It looks kind of like that knife, with the cute little puggy nose.

It's still snowing, I need to get a good pair of Carharts.
