Bada-Bing :D

I was a fan of the Sopranos way back when it originally aired. My wife and MIL were unaware of the show.
They asked me how I had fixed one of the air conditioners at MIL’s house. While (over)explaining what I had done I looked up and noticed both had that glazed-over look in their eyes. So I quickly wrapped the explanation up by saying, “Bada-bing, bada-boom. And now it’s working.” They shot each other a weird glance but I didn’t think much of it.
On the ride home my wife says, “ Bada-bing, bada-boom? What the F$&@ is that?”
I laughed and explained what it was from.

Not to even mention that Bada-Bing was also the name of that seedy adult entertainment joint which Silvio ran where they all used to hang out at ;)

Paulie was just the BEST when it came to anecdotes. If you ever get a chance revisit his rant during one of their get-togethers when he was cautioning against tying up one's she laces after visiting the bathroom before sitting down to eat at the table. Cracks me up every time when I remember that one (don't recall which season). CLASSIC! :D
 
Happy Thanksgiving!
Just a normal working day here which is great as the delivery driver came!
After 31 days of anxiety, hundreds of tracking page refreshes and a mystery two week disappearance in Miami my gang of knives that Jo has graciously been holding for me finally arrived.
It's my first FK (UFK). I can see why everyone likes them so much!
The UF is my favourite CPK model though. L-R: UFK unbuffed OD, DEF Ebonite (loving Ebonite!), DEF Acid, Sharpened tip acid and AEBL ebonite.
Thank you so much CPK!
I hope you all have a great day!

Very happy for you to have finally taken delivery from the Postman Pat ;) All great looking and I really dig their contrasts :thumbsup:

ETA: I'm pretty sure that you are now under the watchful eyes of the Home Office :p

The police and bomb squad actually raided a house close to me the other day as an occupant had googled how to make fireworks.

Thank you!. I definitely have more grey hairs now:)
 
The clock (well you know, the virtual type) stroke Midnight last night which meant Black Friday so what did I do? Well naturally I went knife shopping, online :D

My intention is to improve on my kitchen knife game (did I say that I'm quite cheap apart from my beloved CPKs and my folders, when it comes to spending on pointed steels?) so I found a couple of Shun Premier pieces at reasonably good price on Cutlery & More. I know that there are far more superior Japanese and Asian style knives out there in super-blue steel even challenging some CPKs in terms of pricing, but I ain't paying that much for something that others in this household can and will fudge up if left unsupervised!

ETA: Oh, I went with a 7" santoku vs an 8" chef type knife because when it comes to the kitchen and veggies (I'm eschewing meats as I get older), I actually prefer sheepfoot to stabbies!
