WTF is wrong with the brown ones? I thought they all tasted the same? Clearly I am not up to speed on.....many things.

Lol, they do all taste the same Tom, I'm just practicing being a unpleaseable ass for when I'm rich and famous someday. (yeah right)

 

[Jerry D.]

I'm jealous. I won't have a beer beeyotch in tow.

I'd let you borrow Jerry, but I dont know if he will be able to keep up with me and Murph, let alone a third party........ Thats the good thing about my knife celebrity status........ I got people now.............(nose in the air)

Another problem there is that Murph and I, selfishly, will finish the growler of beer that you wanted before you get more than half a glass.

Knife celebrity, eh? Gonna start drinking them skinny girl appletinis too?

probably not, a regular martini would do, top self ingredients of coarse, shakin, not stirred.

.. Hit my snooze at 5:02am as usual.. got up on the next one and took about 7 seconds of staring at the clock to register that it was 6:47... dammit! On the plus side, we are in the middle of a 2 week party we have here every year and all the schools in San Antonio are closed today for the annual Battle of Flowers parade.. So I flew into work after all.. and my coworker showed up with potato, egg, and smoked brisket tacos.. so I got that going for me too, which is nice.

Good luck CBear! remember to wear pants and don't show her the knife collection until the 2nd date, you have to hold some of the awesome back..

Power company just knocked on the door. They have to replace something, and it's gonna knock power out on the block for about 3 hours or so. Yay.

 

[james terrio]

WW, I'd be speechless with rage too. That's unconscionable. Luckily for me, Miss Angie is both very patient, completely stubborn/dedicated and extremely hard-nosed when it comes to dealing with horrible blankety-blanks like that.

I suck with people.

Me too. That's why they invented lawyers... you need to hire a snake (or perhaps a mongoose) to deal with snakes. Sometimes you don't even have to actually hire a snake... just get someone with a stern, official-sounding voice to call those crooks up and scare the snot out of 'em with fancy words and threats. Bluffing is a fouled-up way to go about things, but it often works.

If all that fails, I'm with ya... drag those nitwits out in the yard and beat them mercilessly in full view of the neighbors.

Oh, and before I forget, anybody that got a VIP pass for the Blade show coming from me..... I got them last night..........AND, Murph and 1066vik, you two assholes cost me $50.

What do I owe ya? Do I get a discount for wearing my TMHunt t-shirt at the show?

Thats the good thing about my knife celebrity status........ I got people now.............(nose in the air)

I'm kinda hoping that some of your star-power will rub off on me... I wanna be a cool kid too!

Sounds like an entourage. Backstage riders will be next - no brown M&Ms.

Seriously, does anybody really eat the brown M&M's? :barf: .

They all taste the same to me. I do, however, insist on the beer being cold.

Y'all chuckle now... but you'll be jealous as hell when you see me and Todd and Ethan wearing tuxes and nibbling on the finest Beluga caviar and washing it down with Dom Perignon one day soon...

bwahahahaha!

What do you mean, arent you doing that now?

 

[TMHunt]

Buy the way Terrio, You dont owe me a thing. Last year I got my VIP passes at the show and they cost me 15 bucks a piece. Since I pre ordered them they didnt charge me a thing. So, Your good, Murph and Vik however are on my Shit list, I have to pay $50. bucks for those two jokers to work my table....... Murphs worked with me for about four years now and has yet to get his net worth up to $50. bucks........ :grumpy:............................ just kiddin

 

[james terrio]

What do you mean, arent you doing that now?

Well actually... yeah. But playin' up the hardworking blue-collar thing is part of my marketing plan right now, so... shh!

Buy the way Terrio, You dont owe me a thing.

Cool!

BTW ad space on my sexy chest runs about $100 per day... so let me know if you still want me to wear your t-shirt at the show...

 

[TMHunt]

on second thought, ... retract that last statement Terrio, I will work you out a deal, the VIP passes where 100 bucks a piece, but I will give you yours free if you wear your T.M.Hunt t-shirt to the show. hows that sound? Of coarse you will still owe me $100. bucks for Mrs. Angies pass.

 

[TMHunt]

Of coarse I might work out a special deal with Mrs, Ang for some of those bacon wrapped water chestnuts!

 

[worldwood]

If all that fails, I'm with ya... drag those nitwits out in the yard and beat them mercilessly in full view of the neighbors.

Id pick that option over the 100-200 bucks they are talking about if i wouldnt get in any legal trouble. At least that way i work off my anger and frustration, and dont even have to pay for gym time.

Im pretty sure they are saying that price and hoping i agree so they get off the hook easily. I wont agree to anything unless/until it makes me happy, if not ill stay silent until i calm down about the situation some more before i make any type of counter offer or demands... Otherwise it will sound something like this..

Me; Whhhat do yer mean 100 argggh thats B.S. how bout i come drip paint on your $h!t and we call it even ksaldihpnvoi <- complete gibberish normally starts to come out by the end of the sentence.

Them; Thats not an option and you know it.....

Me; JAjodif jkp df l; kfjo jolfm <- at this point im too mad to make any sense at all, the words that do come out are mixed up and my brain is already shutting down

Them; Calm down your not making any sense

Me; CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN? Assiojgkjl dayumyoua arrgh... <---- things go black, hands start shaking, and then i know its already to late.


So instead of that, after talking with the wife, the plan is...

Them; We can offer you 100 to cover the damage.

Me; that doesnt work for me, ill contact some more people and find out just what options i really have.

Then i wait a couple days to let myself cool off before calling them back.

I literally have that written down beside the phone, so when they call i say that and not what i feel. Hopefully they are polite when they call or it will be VERY hard.

That's exactly why I let my wife deal with that kinda stuff. I'm extremely grateful for her ability to handle it and allow me to not strangle people and go to jail.

Every now and then she fails... but not often. When that happens, she trots me out like some slathering wild ravenous bloodthirsty beast that's normally kept under lock and key, and allows me to scare the living daylights out of someone. That's pretty fun...

 

[cbwoods67]

Hmmm. I'd always heard that Vitamin M was supposed to help with anger issues. I guess that is not always the case.

I hope you are able to get things figured out and end up with an outcome that works best for you and your family, ww.

Thanks bud, and vitamin M does wonders for anger. But im not 16 anymore and sitting around taking vitamins all day is hardly acceptable for a parent. The times i get to these days is when im out camping/fishing alone, or late at night when everyone is in bed and i have time to enjoy the vitamins and be back to normal before the next day begins. But hell if i could go back to enjoying non-stop i would of been like, WHAT? you got paint on my TV? AHH man thats too bad. 100 you say? i can get some nice vitamins with 100 LMAO

HAHAHAHA Women. That reminds me of a story.

My wife is constantly calming me down, and she is one amazing woman for dealing with me for this long, next month is our 9 year anniversary and she has stuck with me through more than any good woman should ever have to. Normally she puts me in my place FAST and tells me fighting is NEVER worth it...

BUT, Ill never forget me and my wife, before she was my wife, was on a bus in Texas and this guy next to us was belittling his girlfriend or wife, just mentally abusing her in a MEAN way calling her names and everything... I told my gf/wife i cant take much more of this, and then just a moment later the lady got up and the man grabbed her arm and pulled her back down into the seat... At that point my wife said "Baby get him". I jumped over the seat without saying a word and started wailing on him. I was literally smiling as i was hitting the guy and didnt know it until later when the wife asked why i was smiling when i was hitting him. I told her he deserved it and it felt great to have a girl that will let me out my "cage" every now and again.

That was over 9 years ago, but till this day she still makes comments about my "cage". Granted its normally something like.. I need a stronger cage, or stay in your damn cage, but none the less it brings back that memory.

Now Im a lot of things but i try and be honest. I know 99 percent of the time i am in the wrong and over reacting. I dont think having a short fuse and anger issues is "cool" or "badass" or anything like that. Its a horrible flaw that i have been working to correct my entire life.... Out of every fight i think was worth it, there is 10 or more that i was just an asshole and i regret everyone of those.

 

[Jerry D.]

Alright, BH's - I'm out of here for now.
In the meantime check this **** out.

 

[Bladite]

guess who has two hands and two new knives?

johnson adventure blades, wharnstalker (hey, i came up with that name first a year ago ;>), and the Paranatang (now that's a great name)

both are awesome feeling blades; the parang looks mighty practical. it's VERY beefy.

many folx are sad there's no BK6 to be had, but there's a lot of similar tools. for $22 the Fiskars brushhook has been my goto demon for work.

the Gerber parang is none too shabby. it chops VERY well. not bad for $35. even more better, you need CHOPPING but not necessarily speed, the KaBar Zomstro is killer.

but hey, a Steven Johnson Parang. i'm all over this.

oh, for laughs, i also got the TDI cane. sometimes a guy needs a cane? also this thing is stupidly sturdy. strong. steel. heavy. MMM.

 

[Bladite]

crazy axe design:

http://www.vipukirves.fi/english/index.htm

make it die make it die

that's over $280 shipped at current prices. crazy!

i'm not even sure how effective it would be in gnarly wood. certainly Fiskars kicks ass there.

and you can't even use it for "other tasks".

but the scary part is that you're supposed to relax your axe safety standards and ALLOW the deflection to naturally occur. something a felling axe person is taught to avoid and all costs (life and limb)

so, jury is out.

but i'd try it a few times.

Chocolate is chocolate. You wanta throw away chocolate, I'll take it.
