According to my profile, I joined Bladeforums on 04-06-2000. Seven years already. Has it been worth it? :D

(Sheesh. I shoulda put this in Whine & Cheese!)
 
I joined BFC on 6-14-2000, a few months after Esav. It was from this forum that Esav and I met. We live not more than 1/4 mile from each other. I am a better man for knowing him. :)

Happy Anniversary! :D
 
You're certainly not getting any f-word comments with regard to your tenure here by posting in Community forum if that's what you were after Esav :D

You're an old-timer ... how does it feel ?
 
I joined in November, 1998, so I have you beat in seniority if not in number of posts. :D I won't ask about age if you don't.

Listen, sonny, I don't remember what I had for breakfast yeasterday! :p

I used to read every page of Blade Magaine, even the ads. I came across a small ad for "Chai Cutlery" -- James Mattis. I checked out his website and came to a reference to him being a moderator on "Bladeforums", so I looked in on it, many electrons ago.

I do remember I spent a long time reading one forum after another and all the FAQ before I got around to asking questions. Giving answers took a while after that. Now, fortunately, I know everything ...

Fortunately, Hugh is MUCH older than I am, so I don't have to feel like a very old old-timer.

On the other hand, Collucci is only about a month older than my daughter, so every time I talk to him, my arthritis kicks up again.

What's this MUCH older stuff? 13 months and 24 days? :D LMAOROFL
 
Thanks for cheering me up a bit, Esav. If you look down a thread or so, you will see that a friend just died.

Hugh,

If it makes you feel better I'll start referring to both of you as the "Old Coots of BFC."

:D :D :D
 
To Esav, my favorite poet and just a nice guy. :D

Yes it's been worth it for me to meet you here. I wish I could meet you in person......maybe if I can ever find my way out of these mountains I will.

Congrads on your loooooong membership to BladeForums. :)

We are getting old, you should write a poem about that........:o



Robbie Roberson ;)

I did.

Taps

Limping slowly into winter,
Stumbling in the cold and dark,
As the evening breezes freeze me,
Walking through the park at night;

I wonder how to reach the end
Of the road I walk in pain,
While the world whirls round beside me,
Like a fickle, flighty friend.

Leaning on my sole support,
Clicking slowly as we wander
Far from warmth and cheerful faces,
Cane-tip tapping, tapping on the ground.​
 
Oh Crimeny, I've been here almost as long as some of the oldest coots on the forum... Esav and T. Erdelyi, two guys who still owe Jesus Christ a quarter. And even longer than Ronsec, whose picture is in the dictionary next to the words Old Coot. Oh, I feel my bones getting brittler by the minute...
 
Six years for me this Feburary...I have enjoyed it immensly. I have met better friends here in this forum that in the miserable UAW redneck town I live in..

I remember my first post...it went something like this..

Sebenza??? why so much money for a lousy production knife??:D
