Now which one of you reprobates was it that referred to me as a POM and remarked on the state of The Ashes?

Reprobate? Convict is fine D. Yes, that was me. I haven't been able to watch much more than highlights unfortunately. Bloody work has me working right when they're cricketing. Sucks. You been following it D? 1st innings we were behind and still into the second but got the 10 wickets pretty cheaply. I don't think my work quite understands how important it is for us aussies to be free for the 25 odd days during ashes time. But my work is run by kiwis. So there's that.

Oh yeah Dawso, I know the fungus talk has ended and we're back into games (don't you love it WW?) but I thought I'd give you an interesting fact. In Australia, if you're caught taking magic mushys you can be charged by the police for attempted suicide. If you're caught giving them to someone, you can be charged with attempted murder. Oddly enough, the magic variety were the only ones I could identify positively every time..

Agree with thorny, a 5 is also a must. Slowly becoming my fav knife.

Yeah, I'm considering trading my 17 for either another 15 or a 16, not sure yet. And I do have 5, while not my favorite becker it is a beast
 
Long day.

looks like some mods got a new parkerized knife in the mail

solid

thanks KaBar
 
I'd give ya a 15 for that 17. It's the one tweener I don't have and although I'm down to 2 15's, I can spare one. Like new with box and all.
 
Yeah, eventually, I gave one to my brother, ones a user, the others a spare or for anyone else but hasn't gotten used yet. Just saying, the offer stands, no rush or pressure. It's just the same deal, I don't/haven't used it and I'm not buying a 17 anytime soon . Not buying anything really until the RBK comes out. I'm gonna be broke after this vacation next week lol.
 
I appreciate the offer NC, I might need a day to think it over though, like I said I'm not big on getting rid of knives. Either way I can send you some pics of the 17 if you want.
 
I'm the same way, so now I have more than I'll ever use lol. Whatever you choose is all good, I was just putting it out there. If it were me, I'd just buy another 15 and keep the 17. I'll take your word for it as long as its not beat to death. It'd get stripped and everything anyway. Just shoot me a PM whenever, I'm not shopping it or anything.
 
Really the only reason I haven't got a 17 is because I went crazy with gift cards and ended up with a 4,5, and 3 15's lol

So just thinking out loud here, but has anyone considered handle scales out of fat wood?

I made a firesteel handle out of fatwood but never heard of a knife handle from one. I guess as long as you could take the handles off,or had a 2nd knife that would work too.

I figured I'd just make you guys question my sanity even more.

What's to question? No one your age is actually sane, anyway.

The 5 and 15 are fantastic. You cant not have a handfull of 15s...lol

Second the handful of 15's. Dunno why, but somehow ended up with three. Mods, mods, mods.

Finished the fileworked 15.

On top of the new scales and beauty treatment, it also got a very slicey steep convex. Now I'm gonna hafta make a sheath for it - the stock snaps are a smidge tight.

Oh yeah - blahblahblahblah video games blahblahblah:level12mage:{level3supergeek}//nogirlfriend///blahblahblah....Imma agree with WW - if snark had an overarching purpose, it's not to geek out on video games. Get your own off-topic thread. Hell, I (and others) got shit for talking about knives in the snark thread, fer cryin' out loud. Luckily, I'm good at skimming and ignoring the boring crap.

Has anybody seen where I put my beer? I still want to try psilocybin, but all my friends who did are dead or institutionalized. The grocery store criminis are tasty, but I haven't noticed any, er....effects. Hallucinogenic plants and fungi are totally natural, tho. What could be dangerous about a fungus that grows in cow patties? I put that poop in my garden....but my cucumbers are still just....cucumbers. Damn, I wish I had me a hot gamer babe.

Back to your regularly scheduled snark thread. Maybe we should exchange this one with the ESEE gathering thread. That one's way funnier.

Mike. Look up the effects of strychnine poisoning. That'll give you an idea of the non-fun parts of eating magic mushys. Tripping? Loads of fun if you've got the right mindset for it. The after effects? No fun for anybody.

That ESEE thread said to join in on the ESEE forum. But the one here is inactive. Is there another one on here that I've missed? Or is it on a completely different site? I don't own any ESEEs but was just curious..
 
Your talking about acid, completely different from shrooms. Zero strychnine in shrooms. Ppl don't die or get institutionalized from shrooms, that's another acid effect.
Guess y'all really haven't done them lol. Never even heard of anyone dieing from acid either. Maybe from jumping off a ledge or something but not from the chemical itself.
I did 10 hits one night and it took over an hour just getting out of Greensboro. Stopped at the same gas station 3 times and asked for directions. The 3rd time is when we realized we'd been there before lol. I did a lot back in the day and knew lot of ppl who did way more quantities way more often than I and never knew of, heard of or about anyone ever dieing or going crazy or anything like that from it. As far as I'm concerned that's all urban myths or govt experiments gone bad. In fact, the past 30-40 years there's been no actual LSD on the streets, its all a strychnine dirivitive that gives similar effects to LSD. Back in the 90's it could be had anywhere anytime. Weed was harder to come by, acid was everywhere. That was right before X hit the scene. Shrooms are still plentyful but never even hear about acid anymore, its all X which I've never and will never touch. My acid days are long gone as well. It's really for the careless and wreckless with nothing to lose, otherwise you'd prob have a bad trip. Never had one myself but been around folks who couldn't handle it. It's all mentle, talked a few ppl down from bad trips.
Shrooms are more "La La La" floaty.
Definitely not for the inexperienced
 
Seen one or two bad trips with 'shrooms, but for the most part was a little sad that the two times I had planned on participating no one waited for me to get back from classes....and they were all starting to have a good time without me. Now, two kids 10 & 14 - I don't feel like searching for it - bad timing, I guess. When friends did do it, it was more like an entire weekend was needed, at least for the recovery. Did get to be the DD (I was the only one who didn't eat them, but....) for some tripping friends , tho - drove someone else's car with a load of people up to Lake Placid and ended up (after climbing the fence and the bazillions of steps) at the top of the 90 meter ski jump at 3 am. Luckily, no one tried to go down it.....but it was fun as hell, even if I wasn't enjoying it the same way as most everyone else. Sometimes you just gotta do some dumb shit when you're young......just not stoopid shit. The stoopid stuff'll getcha dead. Drinking moonshine and cow tipping? dumb shit - and quite a bit of soreness the next morning. Ah, the memories.....what's left of them.
