"Carl's Lounge" (Off-Topic Discussion, Traditional Knife "Tales & Vignettes")

Favourite movie is Hard Times, where he is a street fighter in New Orleans during the Depression. Also, Mr. Majestyk. "Look what they did to my melons!"

[That might not be exact quote; probably mixing it up with Godfather "Look what they did to my boy!"]
I don't have any specific favorites, but have liked anything I've seen with him in it.

Yeah, he's like John Wayne and Humphrey Bogart--I'll see them in anything.
Another favourite scene is at the end of the Mechanic, when Jan Michael Vincent is reading the note in the car....

In my best CB voice:
They shouldna.. shot.. my.. wardermelns.
 
That plus
It's my tunnel..I dug it..I got buried in it..I go when I want....
Notably one of the only 3 to actually get away in the movie along with Coburn(winner of worst Australian accent ever award) and that other guy who nobody ever saw again.
 
I always liked Mr. Majestyk :thumbsup:
Based on a book of the same name by Elmore Leonard. One of my all time favorite authors.
I like the justified series, which is based on Elemore Leonard novella.
I just finished Dark Winds based on Tony Hillerman books, not bad. Zahn McClarnon is good in it.

I haven't seen either series. One of these days maybe - I use an antenna. I have read all of Tony Hillerman's books and my gosh they were good reads :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
Better late than never, and subject to the vagaries of international mail!!
My B-Day goes on and on!! The doorbell rang tonight, and I was asked to sign my name!!
In a well wrapped and taped box was this attractive (chirp!!) Laguiole Rossignol, two blade, along with a nice card and some horn meditation beads!! The knife's handles go with the horn beads perfectly!! The knife itself is beautiful, and operates wonderfully!!
Thanks Âchillepattada Âchillepattada and Family!!!

Jean-Marc has informed me that the beautiful Nightingale was rehandled and refurbished by Jerome Latreille!! And, the beads were deliberately chosen to compliment the knife!!
such a thoughtful present!!
Thanks again J-M!!!

And thanks, Barrett!!B Day Lag 1.jpg
