It's gonna be hard for us to explain the dozens, if not hundreds of "doomsday weapons" and "survival stockpiles" in our various "fortified compounds"... the media will convict and hang us before we ever get to court...

Are there any BeckerHead lawyers in the house? :( :eek:

"Honest your Honor, we were just snarkin'! " :D

Yah there are a lot of instances where blade/s are/where carried for religious rights, to show manhood, and freedom etc. It happens in a lot of different cultures. Modern representations would be like the Sikhs and their Kirpan. Which the Kirpan blade has been approved as a religious symbol freeing wearers from having to abide by weapon laws on campuses and other public places. Zulu's (if I remember correctly) had very unique shaped blades that resembled male genitals. The Scottish Sgian-Dubh is another culturally important blade. There are so many instances both historically, and even today, where a knife is carried not only for use, but also as a representation of the wearers belief and culture. If you ask me its all very cool.

Very cool stuff indeed, I need to get my dad a Sgian-Dubh for his kilt. I love all kinds of history, but I have never thought of looking into historical knives. Thanks!

Eddie Van Halen used to insist in his tour contracts on all the brown ones being removed from the candy dish in their dressing room, does that count?

Years later, he explained that he slipped that rider in there just to see if promoters/managers were paying attention. He had no comment on the paragraph requiring grocery bags of cocaine and barrels of Jack Daniel's...

Historical knives are neat for enthusiasts because you start to see the meaning behind them, and then why our knives look the way they do today. I am not saying I am an expert or anything its just all really interesting to me.

As far as representations of these knives, there are some companies that make reproductions, but to me what would be really cool is a usable semi modernized versions of these knives. For instance Cold Steel makes a sgian-dubh type knife called the hold out, but not exactly "nice" enough and its on the far side of modernized. What would be really neat is to have someone like Todd, or James, or any other maker that will make a requested blade knock one out.
 
I hate the USPS tracking. The Brute left Chicago 2 days ago, at 5:30. Just got the mail, and it was a no go. They haven't updated the tracking site either. The scheduled date was tomorrow, however. Damn impatience...

I think there are a few. A few weeks ago I sent C-bear on a wild goose chase through Fry's quote catalog...and he still found the goose!

My car isn't even in need of stickers, hoss, but that's such a stellar idea I'm gonna see about ordering a pair for it, anyways. You'll know who you're gonna be friends with next, at any rate.

Edit: Just had an idea: what about Bender on one of those "fender bra's"? I know..... not a decal. IMO it'd still be funny.

I was debating between Planet Express or Ghost Busters. In the end what really swayed me was that I heard they were making a new GB movie without Bill Murray and I figured if that happened I'd look like I did it just because Gb was the cool thing. But if III doesn't have Bill then I'll look even more like a tool. Plus Planet Express isn't as recognizable so fewer people will get it but it will be better for the ones that do. I figure it'll go down one of two ways:

scenario #1:
Random Person: "Planet Express, nice! I love Futurama."
Me: "I know right!"
RP: "Yeah, you and me are, like, friends now."

scenario #2
Random Person: "What's 'Planet Express?"
Me: "It's from Futurama."
RP: (irrelevant because they're not fans)
Me: *drives away*
