Can I be a member?

I resemble that remark! :p

When Unnca Bill said he had a special 18" Sher AK made just for a Jarhead....I was hooked. Now 20+ khuk's later I've just about kicked the HIKV habit. ;)

Another great thing about Uncle Bill - the dust bunnies always managed to pull out something special and just right for the poor souls who just showed up . Fortunately, he served up a double-dose of spiritual enrichment for the soul with newly lightened wallet. You pay for the khuk and the Karma's free. :D

Welcome aboard! Becoming a member is a good idea - Bladeforums is run by a private individual out of his pocket. Membership fees help support having this space, bandwidth, etc, and the HI forum certainly uses its share. (note to self - up membership)

Oh, and who ever noted it's a bit crazy right now - it's always crazy. Only the form changes. :D
 
Thanks for the warm welcome. I never thought I'd meet such a great bunch of wackos all in 1 place. Just a little bit of how I got here. I've been practicing Buddhism/Meditation for about 7 years now and its funny that I got into knives because I bought a British Army from H. I. for wilderness survival. Not to kill. Its funny how some of these blades come from Buddhists. I live in Rochester NY but I used to live in Reno across the street from Circus Circus. There are many coincedences that have taken shape over those years and finally I'm here. If you guys believe in karma then this is not a coincedence. Its the wheel. I heard about UB and Rusty and they are fine. Buddha nature never changes, its just the conditions of the body and emotions that arise and cease. In emptiness nothing goes or stays, things only seem real because of ignorance. And yet I'm shocked when loved ones pass, because human life is most precious. May we all make this world a better place.
 
Nice post & welcome. Sounds like you'll fit right in.

Sanity & firearms are checked at the door, where they'll issue you a khukuri, if you're not carrying one already.

Welcome to the cantina. The onlly beer served is Heiniken, hope that's OK. (in joke ;) ) To find out a bit more about this place, check out the "sticky" posts at the top - if you haven't already.
 
And don't be mislead by the comments about 'Psycho Ward'. 'Ward' implies that there is
A) someone in charge who is NOT psycho, and
B) some attempt being made to rehabilitate the poor unfortunates

No Way, to both.

Yea,:grumpy: I have to smuggle in my own damned Foster's just so I can have a decent beer.:rolleyes: :(
I can drink just about any beer but for some reason I absolutely detest the way Heinie tastes.:rolleyes: Come to think about it it tastes just about what I could imagine a Heinie would taste like.:barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: ;) :D
 
I asked Bill about his beer preferences once. I think after Heine, he liked Beck's, and then St Pauli Girl. I used to like St Pauli Girl more than Heineken. Heineken was the only 'superior' beer you could get in most places. It was good, but I couldn't see it as a staple.

Gentlemen, let us not forget the black stuff;) Guinness is not only a staple in my liquor cabinet. it's a staple in my diet:) I'm sure one or two others are with me on this one.

Once you've had a real Irish Guiness, the pale yellow stuff we americans euphimistically called 'beer' is just so much horse pi...........waste products.

see, i was nice & caught myself in time.

Murphy's stout ain't too shabby either.
 
I have, indeed. And, I've had the traditional Irish full seven-course dinner that goes with it. :D

Guiness really isn't beer, it's food. So technically you're fine. Just kidding :D

Don't particularly care for Guiness either.:rolleyes:
When we go to Phoenix we always accompany Penny to a really good Bar & Grill on Wednesday night for hot chicken wings, and of course beer.:D It's been a couple-three years since we were out there and I can't recall the name of the place, Barb probably could but she's out back burning brush, and I can't recall what dark beer it was I sampled the last time we were there either.:grumpy:
But it was one that I really, really, liked!!!! :rolleyes:
Edit:
Barb just came in, the name of the place is Stackers, told ya she'd know. :-)
I'm really not supposed to drink a lot because of my health and I normally don't, it's just when we all get together it's like a party time every night and good cold beer always tastes good in Phoenix with the extra warm dry evenings there.:D
And with the availability of so many varieties of really good beer I have a good time sampleing beer that's a hassle to obtain here.
I guess when we get there this time, if everything goes alright, I'll have to start over and discover just which beers were my favorites from the other times we've been there.:rolleyes: I guess I don't mind.:D

To buy anything other than the 3.2 beer sold most everywhere here you have to go to a state licensed liquor store. And there aren't a lot of them that are big enough to handle any kind of beer let alone a really good selection.
We have a couple of liqour stores here that I know of that do have a fair assortment of good beers and they're big enough and have enough volume that they also stock an excellent variety of single malt scotch and other high end liqours.
And I'm reasonably sure that there's maybe one or two decent liquor stores I don't know about on the south, and more affluent side of Tulsa.
It's just a damned hassle to make a dedicated trip into town to buy a case of really good beer and then you can't buy it cold.
Disgusting it is!!!! Damned backward Okies anyway! :rolleyes:
 
Guinness, now you're talking. That's my favorite. I don't drink often.
I think it had to do something with being drunk so much when I was in high school, but when I do, it's guiness, red wine, straight scotch or rum/coke.
