I agree with all of the names listed here. The same ones keep popping up over and over again for good reason. I won't go into listing them again. If I had to narrow it down to one person though, the one person that I always read, and that brings something different to the forums it would be James Mattis. James often brings a historian's POV to threads which often bring things into perspective. He is also usually a voice of moderation (good thing he's a moderator, huh?
wink.gif
) and level headedness when it is often needed. Like I said, there are many other great members out there, so it's hard to pick.

Paul Davidson

Them:"What's that clipped to your pocket, a beeper?"
Me:"Uuh....yeah, something like that."


 
Walt,
Actually it is millennium.

James Mattis for sure. Humor, wit, history, knowledge, attitude, and moderation. What else does a good poster need?

Perhaps there should be a category for worst freaking speller. I would be a favorite. Millennium. Millennium. Millennium. Think I've got it. For at least five minutes.

James; it is too bad that VG is just now achieving true notoriety, er, ah, that is, popularity. Perhaps he could have saved Finocchio's from closing!

For you not of the SF Bay area, Finocchio's was a place where female impersonators entertained. It had been in SF since 1936, and was a well known place in the city. Walt
 
Heck! I thought this was a promotion for a really really neat Knife Poster! nuts. I'd love to get a nice poster for my rec-room.

But I agree with the above lists, even though VG changed names mid stream we still love em' and Paul Davidson usually is pretty sound of mind and only posts when it's pertinent, and don't forget our resident Saint James!

Howdy Folks!

I have to admit, I click posts based upon the subject rather than the poster.... unless it's me. Then I click cuz I wanna see what the heck I said.
(I have the short term memory of a flea on crack you know)
I admit that I'm not real edumacated about knives and to be honest, most of what the "knife gurus" say goes right over my head. Talk of Rockwell Hardness, blade grinding and finishing, handle materials, etc., usually leaves me with a deer in headlights expression saying, "Me like shiny things! Me like knives that look shiny. Unless they be black. Me like big."
This usually calms me like a Fakir's (Hope I spelled that right! I'd hate to censor me again) mantra for a cobra.
ANYways.... where was I?

OH!

James Mattis always catches my attention cuz he says incredibly intelligent things in a way that eveb I can understand!
David Williams always manages to find the most obscure, yet utterly fascinating websites to wander about, wearing whatever the hell I woke up in.
I challenge anyone to ask DW to find info on ANY subject.
Come to think of it, he's the reason I don't get edumacated here! I try, really I do, but then he posts something that catches my eye and I start checking into that and click the related links and before I know it, I'm looking at "Albino Dwarves in Bondage, Part VIII"!!
Did I mention that I have the attention span of a chimp on a sugar high resulting from biting Martha Stewart's face during her Annual Thanksgiving Dinner for the Wretched and Smelly?
Yeah, I probably did.....

ANYways.....
I've learned more from this Forum (Website? I mean BFC in general and not just this "Blade Discussion" Forum) than my teachers ever thought was capable of soaking into my diseased little mind.

"Vampire Gerbil", Mrs. Womblebottom would say, "Your twisted and diseased little mind is incapable of comprehending the purpose of this exercise".
Gerbiluar Note: Oh yeah, she called my brain "twisted" too!
This ends Gerbiluar Note. Thank you for your cooperation

After Mrs. W said that, I put my cape back on, grabbed my bong and left her "love shack".

Uhh... sorry... just had a neat visual!
Where was I?
OH!!
What I was getting about in an incredibly direct and roundabout way was that I really HAVE learned stuff here, from so many people that I wouldn't feel comfortable posting, cuz I'd probably leave someone out and have to keep coming back and adding their names... the post would have so many "Edited By Vampire Gerbils" that Ed Asner would choke himself on Raid's new "Gerbilkill Sauce".
(Ed sure must have a hairy back, don't ya think? I mean, look at his EARS for Pete's sake!!!)
By the way, someone let me know who this "Pete" guy is..... Everyone's done so much for his sake that he oughta have a Rolls Royce filled with Gold teeth by now!!!!

Alas, I digest..... digress, I mean....
I really do have to mention Walt Welch, or "Doctor Waltiepoo" as he's known around this shack. I once had a medical question and without hesitation, he gave me an incredibly insightful explanation that any layperson could understand.... even me!
By the way Walt, I confronted my OB/GYN and she finally admitted that she's been ripping me off for years.
"I'm in my 12th trimester", my A..errr... ELBOW!!!!
Oh, by the way, expect a subphoena (OHHHH HOW I HATE THOSE WORDS!!!! Sounds like "Sub-Pena")
::::::bowing head in shame for not knowing how to spell in legalese::::::::
Oh.. the subbiepenie thingie's so's you can testify against Doctor Freugenflacid.... that TART!!!!

In closing, I have to take a moment to be a bit seriouser....
Seeing so many folks mention my name in such a kind way really made my ....ooohhhhh another bad-spell word...... miliniumiuium....?
Yeah, that's it!
I hope I don't sound like a I have a big head, but I feel as if I have a cult following, where the cult consists of hundreds of knife knuts!!!
HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!?!?!!?!
smile.gif

(Some people might not see that as cool, but as they say in France, "Se moi dois tuois, se muy bien gracias", which means, if my dog is being truthful, "When in Rome, don't fiddle; people will call you fat lunatic in a couple of thousand years.")

In closing.... hey, did I say that already?
::::too lazy to scroll up:::::

I'm really glad that I manage to put some smiles on some faces attached to very sharp things. AHhhh... who'm I kiddin'!
Even if ya DIDN'T have faces, I'd be happy to make 'em smile... although I think that might wind up looking really freaky!

In Closing... Grrr.. Now I KNOW I said that already....
I'll just shuddup now.

Wishing to state that no livving thing was harmed during the production of this post, with the exception of a rabbit with a lisp named Binky that kept bugging me to sign on to AOL's chatroom, "Thcrew like a me",
I remain,

Besides all of the above mentioned, I ALWAYS click on a thread started by NEMO. I always get a good laugh out of him.......
 
this was a tough post to write...where is one's Universal Translator when one needs it?

Dr. Welch, you wrote:

You, silverwing are a true mistress of sarcasm! One would never know you are an ESL!
Click to expand...

i have not been around the forums long enough to read your nuances, Doctor, so please forgive me if you were joking and i'm too busy basking in the lovely compliment to notice.
smile.gif


however, despite its loveliness, the compliment was rather undeserved, as i was being quite serious. i've truly admired the way Spark and Mike and the BF moderators all handled themselves in recent weeks...i'm not saying that they did not get emotional; i am saying that their tempers did not get too far out of hand. considering the heat of the situation, they never allowed their status as true gentlemen to suffer--not to my eyes, anyway. YMMV, as the saying goes...

however, i realize now that my words unwittingly touched on a very controversial subject; such was not my intention. my post simply stated my honest opinion; it was not meant as sarcasm; nor was it meant as a clever troll. i guess i'm just not THAT good at this silly language yet
frown.gif


so i'm sorry if my lack of command of the english language caused anyone offense, particularly Spark and Mike Turber. if so, Spark and Mike, please accept my sincere apologies.

i'm also sorry that this post is a bit out-of-the-spirit of your wonderful thread, Dr. Welch. i didn't mean to be a wet blanket, i just wanted to make sure my honest intentions above were clear, and to offer apologies if they were not.

and now back to your regularly scheduled thread postings...

You know, I always notice when Gary Graley, Kodiak PA, Corderoy or MDP aren't around, and miss them. I also like to track Jackyls various trades and sales. I swear, that boy is as fickle as my sister-in-law.

Silverwing. My most abject apologies. My post was meant in jest.

My opinion on Spark's posts, especially those with Steve Harvey on the Mad Dog controversy, is quite different from yours.

That is what I was trying to say. And you are anything but a wet blanket. Read my post in Cougar's church FAQ thread.

Sorry, Walt
 
That's Ok Walt, since I've turned out to be right more often than not, I won't take it personal...

Dr. Welch, you are a true gentleman. my deep appreciation for your kind words...and i promise to take my universal translator into the shop to get the humour software patched ASAP...must be a Y2K thang
wink.gif


i'll respond to your other post on the other thread as soon as i stop laughing.

Walt.....what a Whacko thread to start! Including some, excluding others, you of course knew that could and would happen, I guess.

Vampire Gerbil, yes! (good smiles)

I like hearing from StJames, Will F., Joe T., Spark, Mike, Walt, and

some of the guys that are so serious that I cannot finish reading their dry posts, youngsters, oldsters, and all posters that ring a bit of the bell of truth, or sincerity, or just chatty ass people, or the ones with a quick comment, or even the ones who don't post hardly even a word, they are involved...and it's very good....only a few posts out of line IMO, most are really worthwhile, that is why we are here eh?
