LOL GT! :D Only chance of making BF better now is, if I don't model the shirt here and/or they begin giving away free food. ;)

Thanks John. I promise not to model it here but I will wear it with pride... mostly around the house and only indoors. :)

Haven't seen that one...does Ray Milland play an evil scientist...at one point gloating lovingly at some tadpoles?

I don't think he's a scientist. Grumpy Southern patriarch who uses pesticides to kill frogs. Lots of swamp creatures kill people: frogs, spiders, snakes, alligators, etc. Kinda stupid actually, but I like bad movies. I recommend The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy.

Ray Milland of The Lost Weekend (Best Actor Academy Award) and Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder with Grace Kelly??? I guess it's good that he wanted to keep working.

Still a great shirt! I look forward to receiving mine. Which type of big game does your wife hunt?

She doesn't go hunting, but goes camping. In fact, she and my daughter are going on a five-day camping trip tomorrow. She wanted a fixed blade and I recommended that one. She may lend it to me--I may take my daughter hog hunting later this year.

Excellent choice. :thumbsup::thumbsup: I camped often a few years back and packed only a 5.5" Western as an all purpose blade from cooking to fire building. You may have to get your own for the hunt once she's gotten acquainted with her Buck. :)

Did you see the one where Milland played a rich old guy who needed a new body, so he had his head surgically attached to Rosey Greer? The plan was to cut off Rosey's head when Ray's was firmly established. It didn't quite work out.

I wonder if I speak for others when I say that there once was a time when I only camped with 1 knife too. Maybe a hatchet in the pack - but for years and years it never occurred to me that I needed more than one good belt knife :) Here I am today - and I can't decide which belt knife so, of course I take 3 and a few folders and a khukuri too :confused:. OH Blade Forums ... ;)

Didn't see it, but I became aware of its existence when I was researching Milland's credits on Wikipedia yesterday. :eek: Is it a must-see classic?

(BTW, congrats on the weight loss, Jer! :thumbsup::thumbsup:)

The Uninvited is a great Ray Milland movie (scary ghost story). Golden Earring if you're feeling sentimental (no relation to the Dutch band).
Seems to me there was one where he was just out of a mental hospital, trying to remember something terrible that had something to do with a tobacconist.
