It's a fine line between "a hobby" and "mental illness".

Shrike9,

Yep, that would have made you first in with the high score and would have won it for you!. . .Ouch! . . . (and I thought my left hand hurt).

Carling Black Label????!!!!!

How can you read Walt Whitman AND drink CBL?

Hoodoo

The low, hoarse purr of the whirling stone—the light-press’d blade,
Diffusing, dropping, sideways-darting, in tiny showers of gold,
Sparkles from the wheel.

Well, no knife, but at least I know if I'm ever down on my luck, I can find some young lass to buy me a drink some day. My technique was honed from trying to justify more knives to my patient-as-a-saint, smart-as-a-whip, and frequently amused wife. I'm so transparent, but she puts up with me anyways, bless her heart.

Better an honorable mention than no mention at all, I guess. Sounds like the Red Green motto, "If they don't find you handsome, at least they'll find you handy."

Yep, thats what I get for bein' a smartass!
Tried to be funny and lost the dang knife.
I was all but positive that Jerry's left hand had been hurt, but started to doubt myself when I saw all those right hand responces.
Nope, that one "right" answer would not have saved me, just made me feel a little better in losing.
Well, at least I got to poke a little fun at Jerry, thats gotta be worth something!
Hey Jerry, how did you like my "Silver Knight" answer? How long since you made one of them? Or was it "Black Knight"?
Congrats to the winner! Lucky devil!
