Random Thought Thread

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!

 

You are now to be known officially as Grinch.

 

Got up at 3:30 this morning to get some coffee and quiet time, 28 guests start arriving at 11, can’t wait.

 

There should be a CPK float in the Macy’s thanksgiving parade imo

 

I want to be a balloon handler when I grow up.

 

They use really heavy ropes @Jo the Machinist ... You are not allowed to chop them. That's considered bad form. Sorry.

 

Oh man! You take all the fun out.

 

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

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

 

nice, low center of gravity is a real attribute for that career

 

Really nice looking set!! Glad it all worked out.

 

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

They raided someone's house, because the person Googled how to make fireworks? Wow...

 

How to make fireworks out of human remains?

 

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

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!

 

finalizing handle development for a potential CPK kitchen knife...
