Thanks! This brought a smile to my face this morning. And I need all the smiles I can get today as I'm "celebrating?" my 2nd annual 49th birthday today. Trying to keep a good attitude --it's much better than the alternative and all, but it's still a rather big pill to swallow, rather sticks in my throat if you know what I mean. The body fully comprehends the fifty years. It's the mind that just can't quite wrap itself around the idea. Jim is taking me out to lunch and to make the rounds of antique shops to see what kind of treasures we can find. Maybe we'll find a super old slip joint....

Have a good one Mrs. Grateful, and may you have many more. :)

(Drat...there went that elusive puukkoman:confused:)
 
Happy Birthday. Hope lots of nice sharp things come your way.

First off, a very happy birthday to ya!:thumbup:

You need to find a pocket knife very typical of the era. You were born when cars had tail fins, Ike was the pressident, Bridge On The River Kwai was an award winning movie, and Ricky Nelson was number 1 on the chart with Poor Little Fool.

Maybe you need an Imperial Daddy Barlow!:D
 
When you make the rounds of the antique shops today, don't let Jim sweet talk you into getting a trapper. That's his thing.;)
Its your birthday so you should find one you like and don't forget to post a picture of that birthday knife. Happy Birthday!

While making the rounds, stop in the hardware stores too. You never know what you might find in an old country hardware store. Ask to browse around inside the knife case if they have one. I've found some nice orphans that got stashed inside.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
 
Wow, fewpop, in that youtube video you posted, Elvis's backup singers sure looked folksy with those matching bandannas. I gotta get me one like those. I even spotted Grateful's Girl in the audience.

Good eye Rob. You always could spot the prettiest girl in the room. :)
No surprise you didn't spot Robuck in the 2nd row. :eek:

Here's the scoop:
Mike was a fledgling journalism intern back then, and hadn't earned his press pass yet. However, as a cub reporter for the Mule Ear Colorado Star, he had been assigned to cover the Elvis concert in Boulder. Arriving a little late due to snowy roads, he found that the box office had sold out.

Not to be denied his celebrity scoop, Mike bribed the alleyman with some homemade jerky, and then snuck into the makeup lab where he disguised himself as an Elvis groupy so as to have a better chance at getting close to the King.

In your video freeze shot, Mike had just seriously startled the lady to his left (our right) when he lost control and yelled out in his still changing post-pubescent voice: "Shake it, Oh shake it Teddy Bear". Unfortunately, his wig fell off right after that, and security led him to the door. It's a tribute to Mike's character that he has come this far in journalism after that fateful night.

What a coincidence that Robuck and Kelly were at the same concert.;)
