To all BeckerHeads,

I have been instructed by the Grand Poohbah himself to let all of you know that he will be incommunicato for a while.
So that begs the question: Where is he?

I'll start it off:

1) He's on a super top secret "blast and blow" mission over in the sandbox
2) He's on a top secret search for unobtainium for the newest Becker Knife
3) He's at a 5 day Bachanalia Orgy
4) He's lost on Half Moon Ridge, Tn

We'll just have to wait until he comes back.


Best Regards,


Toooj
 
I knew the tweeners would be sweet, but I didn't know they were going to be made of unobtanium.

We could all use a little baccanalia, but five days seems like an awful lot. Mine usually only last 3-4 hours these days, and I pay for it for the better part of the next day. I can't imagine the hangover from 5 days of revelry.
 
TOOOOOOOOOOOJJJJJJJ!!!!!!

Wassup, oh, keeper of the keys. Hows ya been?

Mighty1,

Good to see ya.

It’s not all that uncommon for Ethan to disappear. He disappears frequently enough to make me wonder if he’s not an international super-spy off on hush-hush missions to save the world from bad blades and bland cooking. This almost ties in with Toooj’s #1 (He's on a super top secret "blast and blow" mission over in the sandbox).

#2) His search for unobtanium. Now this is just plain silly, because there’s no such thing as unobtanium. Not many people know this, but Ethan actually obtained the entire world supply of unobtainum (if its been obtained, it's not unobtainum) on his last mission, and is just waiting to release it at the next Blade show.

#3) A 5-day Bacchanalia Orgy. Well, it is Ethan we’re talking about here: ’nuff said. He’s probably giving a seminar on the subject.

#4) Lost on Half Moon Ridge? Ethan? Naw, couldn’t happen. Ethan never loses his way (except when he’s in California and doesn’t stop by my place).

My bet is that he’s in ________ setting up _______. That’s my guess . . . but don’t spread it around. You know, hush-hush, and all that.
 
DBob,

How are you? Hope you have your thyroid under control...those pesky glands.
If Ethan has unobtainium he's not sharing it with KA-BAR. Boy, is he going to get it when he comes back.

Behind Ethans beard is a BK9!

Hey, Toooj, how are you doing? Me? I expect to get a little better day by day. It'll take awhile, but eventually I hope to be as weird as ever. Funny how those gland things work; when you're young the hormones cause you no end of trouble in one way; when you're old, different hormones cause you no end of trouble in a very different way. Glands: ya just can't win, can ya?

I have it on good authority (actually, I made it up, but that's not important right now) that Ethan really did corner the world supply of unobtainium but, since it's now been obtained, it's no longer un-obtainium. Well, the name obtainium just doesn't sound as sexy as it might, so Ethan renamed it "Beckerite," and I'm pretty sure that his first thought on renaming it was "Whoa, this is some cool stuff . . . I've got to get this to KA-BAR." The Elves who mine this stuff in far off [location withheld for security purposes] were completely aboard with the name change only, I repeat only, if Ethan were going to share it with KA-BAR. I'm pretty sure they sent a memo; didn't you get it?

So when he gets back from __________ , you need to pat him on the back, congratulate him on cornering the world supply of what's now Beckerite, and find out when the first shipment is coming in. I'm sure that he'll be happy to respond with an enthusiastic "Huh?"

Beckerite: this changes everything.

You think that was weird? You ain't seen nothing yet. I have a highly developed sense of the absurd, thank you, and when I'm feeling good, I can peg the ol' Weird-o-meter without even breaking a sweat.:D

But then, what can you expect from someone who rates Alice in Wonderland among his favorite books, and thinks the old Screaming Yellow Zonkers boxes were among the best copy ever written?

I spent over thirty years in the advertising business, and part of that was writing silly stuff for my clients (hey, someone has to write the stuff that goes on cereal boxes, right?). Now that I'm retarded retired, I have to keep my hand in somehow, so I inflict my silliness on all of you.

Hopefully, I can make you all crack a smile from time to time along the way.

Just wait till I'm 100%, and i'll be weirder still.

Thanks for the good wishes.

Beckerite: this changes everything.
 
Seeing as Ethan is a bonafide member of the C.I.A - its anyones guess where he is now.

You of course knew I meant the Culinary Institute of America ?.

Funny stuff, I snorted on that one.

DBob,

Thirty years in the advertising business explains everything...I was thinking you needed to cut back on your meds but now it becomes clear ;)

Oh . . . oh, I see. You thought it was the medication, huh? No, no, I'm weird by training. It's been the relentless pursuit of lunacy (and, obviously, nutty clients) over all those years that has made me what I am today . . . whatever that might be.

What I originally went to school for involved way too much discipline, and they actually wanted me to think (shudder). To help pay for school, I started doing illustrations and writing copy for a couple of local agencies ("Here's a pencil and a paycheck, kid. You're now a "creative," so get to work"). I think it was the paycheck thing that really got me hooked. That, and the fact that I was far more comfortable with a paintbrush than I was a sliderule (well, and the fact that chicks dug it). Little did I know that the inevitable byproduct of the ad biz was dementia . . . but is that a bad thing? I've enjoyed every minute of my insanity, so far.

So no, it's not the med's.:D

Best,

Bob

Sometimes, ya just gotta go with your gut on these things.:D

I will neither confirm nor deny the reports that I'm nuttier than a fruitcake but, if I am, is it natural, or a skill I've carefully nurtured all these years?

And coming across as nutty neither demonstrates nor precludes the ability to be serious on occasion, should that occasion ever arise.*

Also, and I have this on good authority, that there are others who frequent this forum who are almost as strange, or they wouldn't read my stuff. Just saying.




*I'm not sure what all that meant either, but it sounded serious.
