Good Evening.
It is I, Vampire Gerbil.
In the past few weeks/decades...ok, a couple of months, I had been tempted to post over here to let folks know about Mail Call on The History Channel.
(I'd send you a link to it, but it's a TV station, duh!)
But I repressed my urges to enlighten the masses (benign, mostly) here at General as it was not completely Knifeally Related. There'd been nifty episodes saying stuff about edged weapons, including demonstrations by R. Lee Ermey (SGT Hartman in "Full Metal Jacket" and a gym teacher who kissed Jay Black on the mouth in "Saving Silverman") and many's the time that RLE killed evil watermelons on the show.
Still, the show featured ALL military stuff so I didn't think I oughta post about it here.
But now, NOW, That Channel about History, whose name escapes me for the hour, is featuring Knives, Axes and Swords on an episode of Modern Marvels this evening, which is gonna be Wednsday of today, once the old clock on the wall spouts 6
m or for the militarily time-telling-type, 1800 hours.
In fact, those of you who live on the west coast, or those places governed by Pacific Standard Time can see the show at 1800 hours, probably again after that too, but danged if I know when.
But Eastern Standard Time Dwellers must wait until 9 pm, or for those other types, uhh.... 1800+3 hours.... carry the pi...
At 9 pm.
Anyhow, these Modern Marvel shows are usually pretty good, and since this one's covering blades, I thought I oughta mention it here for those who have access to that Channel about Stuff From A While Ago.... or if your inlaws have cable... don't forget to make your mother inlaw cook you a cake.... she probably won't wanna watch a knife show anyhow.
Now I shall lower my announcment bugle and head on over to Rolling Stone Dot Com where Christina Aguilara has unknowingly lit the fuse that will end civilization by posing nude with a Paul Reed Smith guitar, which is practically identical to one that just happens to reside in my home. It's here in case you're really bored.
The scary part about this whole thing is that Lorena Bobbitski got a bee in her bonnet about doing a similar photo-shoot, as she has similar head-hair and believes that she's much more attractive than that ex-mouseketeer.
In other words, you better check out that Knives, Axes and Swords show while we still have a history!
Off to figure out how to drug LB for a few centuries,
I remain,
