How much snark could a snarksnark snark if a snarksnark could snark snark?

[TBL]

Well.. maybe this one was a little too good.

I did google 'chicken sexer'. There is a book out there, its called 'Memoirs of a Japanese Chicken Sexer' sounds like a good read :thumbup:

It seems that Krekels has become our Sunday thang to do. A double bacon and cheese Krekel burger with grilled onions. Oh, the joy:

So, this is regular thing now Dubz? Making me drool until I'm dehydrated?

Any of you ever carry an Opinel? I'm looking at some of the smaller ones, wondering if they'd work well in the pocket of a pair of slacks.

GShark seems to love them and he knows what he's doing. He digs shark teeth out of dirt. Dirt I tells ya!

I apologize, but I just can't read that without giggling like a 10-year-old.

you're not the only one!

I know! Of all the awesome family history that Zzyzz informs us of, we take THAT from it! Yeps. Call me Mr. Maturity..

Nah.... You'd have to take it out of your pocket and open it....

It did need to be started. I'd say that I will be more precise in my typing in the future, but I won't.

Smallest one I have is a #8. Of the 4 I have, they all needed profiling and sharpening but considering the price I'm ok with that. The next time I order from 42blades I'm going to throw in one of these. http://www.baryonyxknife.com/mamloshkn.html

Thanks. I'll look into that.

Had a smaller one as a kid. Seemed weird to me then so it always got left behind for my Buck. These days, I opt for Spydies for folders. All my folders are Spydies (the ones I actually carry anyhow), and all my fixed blades are Beckers. When I like a brand, I stick with it I guess.

Will they "work well in the pocker of a pair of slacks"? Yes ... it will come out of that pocket and be able to cut stuff. No ... it probably won't be very hidden, but that depends on your slacks and the fit of them. Maybe ... it will be comfortable, also depending on your slacks and the fit of them. The bigger question may be: does anyone who sees you regularly care? My Spydie Sage 1 and PM2 may not bulge, but you can see the pocket clips pretty darn easily. Hopefully, one of those answers was the one you were looking for. But more than likely none of them came from the right source since I own neither an Opinel or a single pair of slacks.

Wish I did't own any slacks, but it's a professional hazard I have to deal with from time to time - and some of the folks who see me might care. I'd rather not find out.

Opinels are better in a picnic pack. And please do soak the handle in mineral oil or butcher-block conditioner so you get the inside nice and protected.

Good to know.

I often carry a smaller one along with a sodbuster when I'm working in the yard or on the ranch. I wish I'd have gotten the stainless rather than carbon. As stated by the others, it hides well as long as you don't wear skinny jeans...

The closest I've gotten to skinny jeans was back in the 80's. Now they are only tight because I'm too lazy to go shopping but not too lazy to eat.

GShark seems to love them and he knows what he's doing. He digs shark teeth out of dirt. Dirt I tells ya!

GShark is, as we all know, pretty dang amazing.

Rappelled down in Alabama yesterday with a new setup.

 

[hara-kiri-yogi]

Rappelled down in Alabama from Tennessee?! Holy crap! Did you use one long piece of rope, or did you have to splice a bunch of them together end-on-end?

 

[zzyzzogeton]

Stillwater you say, that's my home town, was the school through the university?

Not at the University (or College it would have been back then) but at one of the "Baby Chicken" producers. We hatched our own baby chicks for our egg production line and to sell through our feed store. When our big 1930s vintage walk-in incubator finally failed and we couldn't get parts for it in 1967, we started buying ours from Stillwater as well. But Stillwater was the place you ordered baby chicks from back in the 30s through even today, I believe. Sent them through the US Mail. We'd get a call from the Post Office at 7 a.m. to "Come get your damn chickens. They're driving us nuts up here".

I'm not sure I want to type "Japanese chick sexer" in my Google search.... Maybe I'll wait until I get to work in case anything bad shows up... ...or not...

My son said someone had told him it was Koreans who did this, but I suppose the average Texan can't tell the difference between Japanese and Korean people any more than they can tell a male from a female chick...

There were probably both Korean and Japanese chicken sexers. The outfit my aunt trained under were Japanese.

I know! Of all the awesome family history that Zzyzz informs us of, we take THAT from it! Yeps. Call me Mr. Maturity..

Hey, wait til I start spewing tales about my grandfather the water-witch, my great-grandfather the treasure hunter/mystery tracker, my great-great grandfather the legitimate freight hauler/clandestine Comanche trader/Civil War Yankee dodging smuggler. Or my other grandfather who survived WW1 because the Army only taught/spoke High German in training schools. With all that odd-ball history in my family, I just end up being the walking encyclopedia and family collector of sharp/pointy things.

New 15's should be delivered within the next 3 hours or so... It's been a while since I've gotten the thrill of waiting for new Becker steel.

GShark is, as we all know, pretty dang amazing.

First he catches the sharks with his hands. Then he stuffs them in a hill side until they rot away, leaving only the teeth. Other tooth-hunters thought it was cheating until they learned about the bare-hand shark-catching.

Yes, welcome to your new life.

That's some tough noodling.

Probably has Proton level callouses built up by now.

I have one of those MAM folders - blade is a similar size as the Opinel #9, but overall package is slimmer and the liner lock significantly quicker to engage/disengage.

Can't speak to the rest of them, but the author got pretty close to correct about Texas.

Phew...that was a lot of catching up to do....I will say that they didn't get New Hampshire right except for the micro-brew and maybe the nerdy bit. Most here have woods tools and know how to use them, and are not quick to tell anyone that they like themselves.....too much New England reservedness. Though they may get into political and philosophical discussions easily....

That's a good setup. Way easier to release the prusik when it's below the belay device. How are you liking that Petzl harness?

Hey GSOM, your inbox is full!

I got a gaw going on, some patties and a bk16

Just spliced shoe laces together. I had to stop near the state line for more shoe laces.

That's a good setup.

A certain Canadian suspect gave me one of those BD Gridlocks.

Way easier to release the prusik when it's below the belay device. How are you liking that Petzl harness?

It's comfy and pretty light. On the much heavier side, I have a complete caving rig that I've used for pits and for the rescue training. The Petzl, I set up for rappelling trips, and I just carry a foot loop and a smaller prusik in case I have to go back up rope. Agreed on the autoblock release working better below the descender. I just had a 'biner loop installed on my caving rig so I can run a French wrap below my rack.
