And The Snark Goes On

[worldwood]

Ah thanks, worked on the second try.

Excellent, i was worried it wouldn't show up right

Gonna be putting some stuff up for sale on the exchange within the next few weeks. Backpacks, etc. Go back to work Monday, and will be able to get boxes.

I have a jar of ghost pepper salsa in my fridge that I can't seem to finish. I try to pretty often. I think it's called Mrs renfords or something.

I'm pretty wimpy when it comes to hot sauce. True hardcore chili-heads mock me. I couldn't care less... I know what I like, and I like moderate stuff like Sriracha and Frank's Red Hot. I got nothin' to prove

I have always found humor in using flashlights for self defense, unless its one of those big old mag-lights and your hitting the person in the head LOL

I hear ya, but it's a huge deal to some people. I always kinda figured "Great, I shined a beacon at the bad guys... now they know exactly where I am and will just start spraying lead in my general direction". But what do I know, my entire tactical training comes from playing Call of Duty.

I do in fact have my Dad's old-school full-size Mag-Lite, that I keep handy for thumping on "things that go bump in the night". Much like a spare Fender guitar neck, it's the sort of thing that will scare the bejeebus out of a group of unruly drunken nitwits keeping your kid awake in the middle of the night (and knock out a dang hippo if you swing it right)... but when the cops show up... "hey Officer, that's just a lil' ol' flashlight/spare guitar neck. I ain't got no weapons." Don't ask me how I know this.

Sounds DELICIOUS too

I think you have that confused with peanut brittle.

BTW you get that kitchen knife yet? Interested to hear your thoughts... and kinda wanna get the testing wrapped up since Erik already paid for over half of it with a gear-trade (the hammock set-up I've been using, in fact) and he's probably looking forward to actually getting/using it...

I wonder if "stoves" are included in the "etc"? I'm sure there is someone out there that needs a few more.

Nice to see someone actually say this correctly. I know it's a small thing, but one of my grammar pet peeves is when people say "I could care less," which means that you actually care at least a little bit, when they really mean that they could not care less. Another one is people who say the point is "mute." Unless we're talking about a mime, the point should be "moot." Again, I'm just weird about these particular errors. James gets a gold star from the grammar police!

My son and I decided to play around with a TLR-1s (with the strobe) weapon light (not mounted on a weapon of course) just to see how effective the strobe was. I have to say, I was so dizzy and disoriented that I nearly fell flat on my face. My son felt pretty much the same way, so I can say that a 300 lumen strobe is pretty effective at discouraging shenanigans. Of course there is always the possibility of causing epileptic shock, or so I've heard.

Anybody know if the ESEE/Becker kitchen knives are still for sale anywhere? I wanted to pickup another set but fear I'm too late...

I found some but not at the clearance price.

 

[granitestateofmind]

I have been wanting to get a new light for a little while but I just can't find what im looking for. I want a light that takes a single AA but produces 200+ lumin. I found one once but it was a little bulky and pricy. My Duracell edc tac light seems to suffice for now. 3 x AAA 250 lumin.

I'd be surprised if a single AA, 200 lm light wouldn't drain the battery fairly quickly...and render itself useless in short order.

I've heard of that happening to pregnant women. No PB for life!, what a bummer.

It happens to lots of people. My oldest daughter is allergic to peanuts (among other things).....and it's not really funny - for people who are very allergic, a peanut ingestion could mean death in a matter of a couple minutes if they don't get the Epi-pen.

Everybody's doing corn liquor these days.

I, however, am baking brownies.

 

[Jerry D.]

I want brownies all the sudden.

 

[rkmoore]

I just checked the mail and a little something was there from Boerne Texas. Absolutely awesome and definitely part of my kit forever or as long as these things last.

Thanks Dex!

is it weird that I am already looking forward to the next gathering at Uncle E's place? went to PR for a one-week vacation and brought back some puertorrican tamarind caña ('shine) that I said would bring over to the next gathering...tho I think this bottle won't last that long, will have to bring back another

We're holding you to it. :thumbup:

Scored two Sunday Masters passes. The boy's first golf tournament will be the best in the land.
Of course, he's ten. He'll see Tiger Woods, have a pimento cheese sandwich, get a Masters cap, and he'll be ready to come home.

 

[TBL]

Quite strange.

What about your house? Do you know if any of the interior walls involved peanut board in the construction?

For those that are unfamiliar with the term, peanut board is a lot like today's pressed sawdust wood, but made from powdered peanut shells. It works great for noise insulation, but it's very weak.

No peanut board here! That sounds like the beginning to a new hell lol. If momma ain't healthy nobody happy

aye, sir. This stuff goes down real smooth, but will sit you on your rump when you least expect it.

Yes Sir!! Got it in a few hours ago but then i had to run some errands.

Ill get a couple pics here in a few and put my initial thoughts in the thread, but it feels great in hand and still seems VERY sharp!!

Also ill get it on the way to the next person ASAP, ill be reviewing it on Sunday, because i can only go to the butcher i use on Sunday mornings because he has another job... But i like his prices and selections because he carries rabbit for Neko... Anyways ill pick the meat up sunday morning and review the knife same day for ya... Then get it to the next person.

I can understand Erik being ready for his knife LOL, ill try and speed it up a little!!

 

[worldwood]

Awesome knife!!

I had some home made pizza tonight spicy italian sausage, bacon, peperoni....awesomeness. Paired it with a Sailor Jerry's and OJ (taints like a creamsickle)

 

[GSO1962]

Had a couple interesting conversations (at least I thought they were) at work today.

A lot of us working in my area are retired or former military, including a healthy amount of ring knockers (West Point grads). One of them is in the team I'm on, and we somehow got to talking about his class. He was in the first class that graduated with females. He said the last class that graduated all males had t-shirts made with pictures of all sorts of sports equipment, and the shirt read "Class of Whatever (I think 1979), We Have Balls". He went on to say that someone did the math prior to his class graduation and they determined that there was an average of 1.8 testicles per graduate. They decided not to have this put on a t-shirt...

I mentioned this to another guy down the hall who happened to be from the last class that graduated all males. Despite being all male, he said that, due to an unfortunate accident by one of his classmates, his class did not have 2.0 testicles per graduate, but somewhere around 1.998 depending on how you round...assuming no other accidents that were kept secret by the cadets.

This might make a good trivia question on Jeopardy....

Edit: This is what happens when you put a bunch of engineers, computer scientists, and assorted geeks and nerds into one office.

Your welcome man! And it should last you a very long time. Enjoy.

You're not weird, you're just correct. My Mom was a published poet and pounded the idea of clarity into my head from a very young age. "Say what you really mean, dammit!" While I usually speak and write in contemporary/regional vernacular, including all manner of contractions and idioms, I'm a huge PITA about that sort of thing...

I want brownies all the all of a sudden.

Fixed it for ya.

...just to see how effective the strobe was. I have to say, I was so dizzy and disoriented that I nearly fell flat on my face....

That happened to me once at a Butthole Surfers concert. Mind you, we're not talking about a flashlight. The banks of strobe lights were mounted in two pairs of 4'x4' cabinets on either side of the stage and I was... shall we say... not sober...

Everybody's doing corn liquor these days.

There are so many new brands of "legal moonshine" available now that I can't keep track. It's a brilliant marketing strategy... just use the same recipe and don't bother aging it... slap an old-timey label on it and Ka-Ching!

Awesome knife!!

Terrible "pizza" :barf:
