Got to love them AK's!!!!

Wasn't the rising (half) sun Kesar's mark? If not, then I have a Sher rather than a Kesar.

I beleive there was some kami-mark swapping a few months ago.

 

[spence]

You're right, Terr. I wasn't looking at your rec'd. date.

Present scheme of initials is better Id for kamis. But a couple refuse to give up their mark. Bura and Kumar are using mark + initials.

 

[munk]

I admire the marks.

[Bill Martino]

If they would only stick to the marks instead of trading them.

 

[munk]

yeah, but what's a little kid, or a grown man, or even a Kami to do but trade them?

Funny. Years go by and one decides he wants the rising sun.


every one of us is really very silly...

The kamis do remind me of kids at times. The Nepali flag has passed thru three kamis and I don't think it's done yet.

The makers mark of the nepali flag on my GS looks like the scandinavian rune for "B" called Berkano, Byork, etc. It means "Birch Goddess or Birch Tree." It can also mean: Goddess, growth, renewal, rebirth, wife, woman or women, fertility, pregnancy, plants, healing.

Funny eh? To add to it, the GS was received about a week before we discovered she was pregnant. Powerful mojo, indeed.

even tho my GS has the birch rune-er, flag - my wife still prefers the beefy 18" AK Sher wrought. She feels that the AK is the ultimate Khuk, and she may be right. I won't argue with her.

I seldom argue with Yangdu, either. I've found it doesn't pay.

 

[Ferrous Wheel]

Yeah, I could've never been a salesperson, I'm too much of a maker. Since I've been married these many years, I AM the YES man!
