Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Onebigbill]

Good morning Guardians. Been away in Germany for the last three weeks but back home now and playing a little catch-up with...well, with everything. Funny thing that happened in Baiersbronn. Our room at the hotel was incredible. Including a little paring knife for the complimentary fresh fruit. Looks like a LF blade to me - opinions?

 

[echoscout]

The excitement never stops mate! Sounds like one of my action-packed days

Thanks for calling in, nice pic

LOL! Nice pics Will My dad once announced he was buying us a snooker table from a bloke at work. He came home with a billiard table, the size of a modern TV, a couple of tiny cues, and the 3 balls needed to play English billiards, a game long out of fashion, even then

Spectacular Steve


Beautiful Dwight

Great shot Jeff


Thanks Gary

Interesting thought Gary I thought that L'Ariete, Aries - The Ram - sounded authoritative in Italian!

Cool pic of Brian with your shillelagh Mitch

Looks interesting Jack, by coincidence, there's a slim volume of Romany recipes on my coffee table, with a recipe for mushroom ketchup

Ouch! I remember that Gary Still, it probably fared better than bone would have Did you buff it out?

Congratulations Barrett, that's a handsome pic

Good morning Guardians, I must confess I'm a bit distracted this morning, as I'm having to work, and short of time. I hope everyone is having a good weekend, and I'll look forward to catching up with you later

Hope your day goes smoothly Jack. Splendid

The lamb is such a dandy!

I hope you made some wonderful memories on your trip Bill.

If not, it is a fair cousin to the lamb.

These days are going too fast!

I hope our southern gentlemen are getting help to have life return to normal.

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks Jack
Have a great day

Thanks Mitch

Thanks Jack !


Have a good day and don't work too hard

Thanks Steve, been a long day, and I still have some more work to do before I can relax, unfortunately

I hope you had a great vacation Bill, that's a nice souvenir I couldn't resist picking this one up, when I saw it on a UK knife site

Hope your day goes smoothly Jack. Splendid

Thank you David

Thanks pal, I got in at 5pm, but have a couple more hours work to do before I can hit the bottle relax!

I guess that's a great knife for lambchops.

Yes, I would start with a cocktail too, Jack.

Good afternoon, Guardians!

I've noticed a correlation between sudden drops in barometric pressure coinciding with an increased frequency of migraines and general back and neck pain for yours truly . I've also noticed a correlation between sudden drops in barometric pressure coinciding with standing in water up to one's waist and one's dwelling being rapidly deconstructed and deposited in the neighbor's yard. Let's hope it doesn't come to that!

Milton hasn't made up his mind on where exactly he'll land - but it's not looking good for somewhere in South Florida. The difference between here and the areas Helene hit, is that where those folks never saw it coming - we live in little above-ground bomb shelters. The houses aren't "cute" like you'd see in other parts of the country but they'll take a slamming and keep on standing!

On the bright side, if Miami does get hit - I'll make sure you see only the very best sampling of the, often humorous, post-hurricane yard signs, which in the past have included sentiments such as "God Bless this Mess" and, my personal favorite, "You Loot - We Eat!" - a funny (sorta) cannibalistic take on the classic "You Loot - We Shoot." Have I mentioned that Miami is just one natural disaster away from full-bore cannibalism? It is. Fine by me, as I've grown quite accustomed to Latin-American cuisine. Heh heh.

But - we're not there quite yet I'm proud to say, and so, after yesterday's "Billy-Yards" we went for Dim-Sum at a Chinese restaurant (name of Kon-Chao) that has been here so long that it was my grandfather's favorite Chinese joint - not kidding!

While a knife's role in Asian dining is mostly superfluous, The Stagnator (being accustomed to taxpayer-funded junkets and opulent State dinners...) insisted on helping out divvying up the various buns, dumplings, and cakes - mostly for the pictures, which he insists will be integral to winning reelection. I keep telling him that I'm the only voter that matters in this case but he seems, or pretends, not to understand.

Here he is posing atop some Lotus-wrapped sticky rice balls (GF thinks they're disgusting, I love them ):

and some Shrimp and Leek dumplings:

Typical of politicians to take credit for their role in something in which their participation was entirely unnecessary.

That's it, Guardians! Please send thoughts and prayers - they help to magnify the power of the protection spells our loyal (and overworked) Cuban and Haitian Santeria and Vodun witch-doctors have cast over "The Magic City!" Thanks in advance!

Fascinating "grain" on your GL-24, Patrick!

Thanks Gary, it has become a favorite.

Congrats on the new vehicle, Mitch!




Thanks, guys!



Me too, Dwight.

Figured I’d have a couple drinks tonight to celebrate the Razorbacks upset win over No. 4 ranked Tennessee.

That was a tough game to watch. At least Vandy tore down the goal posts and dumped them in the river against Alabama!

Looks like a cool knife non the less. I hope you enjoyed the trip.

Thanks, Bob! From your keyboard to God's inbox!

I just hope it doesn't end up pulling one of those sharp left turns toward the Northeast once it crosses Florida and is back over warm open water. The last thing the Carolinas (or anyone else) needs is any more of that. Hopefully Florida will be enough to shred it.

Reminds me of a Dave Barry (a Pulitzer prize-winning humorist that was once on the staff of The Miami Herald - a third-rate rag that long ago left any semblance of truth, reason, or beauty behind) piece entitled "Air Bags for Wind Bags" in which he opined that anyone in a career prone to grandstanding should be fit with a personal air bag that would self-inflate at the right moment - pushing them, with furious speed, away from any podiums and thus preventing them from making fools of themselves and annoying their constituency any further.

Valiant gallows humour, and outstanding pics Will I am paying tribute to my favourite Greek Goddess, Athena

Justice and war, a fine goddess to remember.

How old is that lamb Jack?

Thanks, Jack.

To employ a term I picked up from one of your posts - we wouldn't want to develop a reputation for being no more than a bunch of "Southern Jessies," now would we?

Thanks Steve. This one is finally becoming more fluid.

Good afternoon Guardians !
