Bawanna's Depressed

For the record, Bawanna is no longer depressed. My fellow forumites have pulled me out of the doldrums once again.
Pug's offering up a prize Bura for trade which I could not and will not possibly accept, too special gave me a new lease on life.
Then today I come home, another day in Paradise, minding my own business, walk (ok roll, I still forget sometimes) in the back door and there's the famous Auntie Triangle box on the table? Huh????? I didn't order anything YET or LATELY.

So I check the address's and I don't want to let the cat out of the sack but the sender is into Moats and lives in a funny round house. Hmmmm?? So like Christmas morning, I'm cutting carefully but quickly, need to preserve the triangle box, I love triangle boxes. This bad boy is packed and I didn't think I'd ever get it out but alas what do I pull out???

His Long Leaf!!! Never seen one in person and it's 100 times better in person than in pictures. Wife and oldest son are like cool dad, ho hum, my heart is palpatating and I'm suddenly warm all over and my smile is so big you can see all 6 teeth that I have left.

Alas it too is TOO SPECIAL, it needs to head back to the round house maybe after I fondle and enjoy it for a few days. It's really a treasure.
That act finished what Pugs started and while I might not be on top of the world I'm way higher than I have been lately.

So that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'll try to take a picture later, cold here, wife wants a fire built, hope we need kindling, I have a tool for that.
 
Better build a fire Bawanna! Still too warm here for one but this weekend will be different. I have another Long leaf so now we both have one! Hard to explain to someone how special these are without putting one in their hands. Your collection needs an old piece of ancestry! It would be an honor to see it in your collection of beauties. Please accept my gift and enjoy!
 
Are you the fella in the round house with a future moat and such.

It is I who is beyond honored. I shall make an effort to wrap my mind around this gift. But it's huge and a lot to wrap around. I've been holding it for close to an hour yet, happy to report no hot spots on my hand, I think it's a perfect fit.

I can't possibly thank you enough for sending it. It's a find and wonderful thing.

If I can't keep it I might send it back in a square box though, I dig triangle boxes very much.

If your certain this is meant to be I'll certainly try to be worthy of it and display it with pride in my new display rack with fast action retrieval. When a man needs to fondle his blades he needs to do it bloody quick ya know?
 
OK through much PMing and convincing it is a done deal! Now its public so ya gotta keep it! Enjoy it! I dont want to be your thanksgiving turkey this year:D
 
Bawanna my friend, Im glad you are whole again.
Ndog good on ya mate for doing that. I was waiting for a response from him about the AK, and getting ready to box it up.
Bawanna, we have some class acts here, the kindness and kinship is what keeps me here, it makes me feel good to see random acts like this, this is what HI and the fine people here are about.
 
Thanks Pugs! That was an awesome act of kindness on your part for the Bura AK! Gotta take care of your friends! Good Karma good friends!:thumbup: All comes back to ya somehow!

I can send it on a field trip if you want to fondle it.
 
I knew this day was coming, I tried to prepare myself for it but sniff, sniff, sorry, kind of tearing up here. I'll be ok really, I will.

Is it 10x better and nicer in person than it is in the picture? I bet it is, sniff, it looks incredibly awesome.

They are thinner and much lighter as a general rule, am I sniff, sniff, correct?

That's really something right the.

Best no field trips in my direction, I consider myself (sniff) trustworthy and a man of ethics but I'd not want to chance a return trip for that one. Sniff, kind of takes my breath away.

I'm gonna go lie down now for a while, kind of light headed all of a sudden.

Ok bye.
 
That is one sweet blade!! Sorry Bawanna. I tried to knock him out with poison berries and intercept the mail truck but he didnt go fir it:D
 
You're right, the picture doesn't really do it justice. I'd say it's at least 11x better than it looks. It is a bit thinner and lighter for its size than some of my other khuks.
 
Honestly I'm happy that at least one of our people here got it and not some punk Gurka wannabe that might abuse it or disrespect it.

Ok, that was a little white lie but momma says a little white lie don't hurt nobody. I'm sick with envy and jealousy and a pathetic sore loser with a broken heart because it didn't come to live with me.

Ok, that was a half lie too. Lets stick with option 1 and I'm sooooo happy for you Phillll. That's a beauty for sure.

Ok, I'm gonna go curl up on the floor in a fatal position with Ndogs Long Leaf and suck my thumb for awhile. I think I'll feel a lot better in no time.

11x! That's awesome man. I dig that alot.

Your evil ndoghouse, next time we'll try the poison apple, that one ain't been used in a long time, might work better. Ok, I'm evil too.
 
Im working on an alligator costume right now! I just cant figure a way to get passed Khukri Kat!

Khukuri cat is easily distracted with shrimp. You're still gonna have to get past the 6 snakes though.
 
So a shrimp costume would be suicide? Alright then i give up! I do like snakes tho!

With french fries and hushpuppies!
 
Kind of chilly in the NW so after chopping a little kindling and packing a little firewood I decided to spend some quality warm time in my man cave. Had a piece of oak laying about that I decided to whittle into a Long Leaf stand.
I got me an idear for a plan C knife rack but haven't tracked down the stuff I need to implement it.
I suspect this will be kept separate in a class case I have for special stuff.

The results of my efforts............for your perusal, be gentle, I'm kind of sensitive.





 
Ahhhh...... man! Im in tears my friend! That is so beautiful! I dont know what to say? That stand puts all of her good sides right in your face! Very well done! Thats what they deserve isnt it? Thanks for posting that!
