(Disclaimer: this is not meant to offend anyone. This is not to be taken serious, its just a silly story from my head as thus, there will probably plenty of errors as i try to not get too carried away with it)

part1

The old man sat on his porch, knife in hand whittling away at the block of wood in his other hand. “Grandpa, how do you know what youre doing?”, asked a little boy standing in front of him. “In some cases the wood tells me what it wants from me”, said the old man. “I dont understand”, mumbled the boy. “One second”, he said, setting down the knife and block of wood. He got up and walked over to were other blocks of wood lay and gathered up three. “Do you see this one?”, he asked holding it up. “Right now its a blank canvas, it can be anything. Its perfect for whittling or carving something with intent.” Setting that block down, he held up another. “Now this one here is different... look at it. Can you see it? There is an owl in here and it just needs someone to cut it out. Free it”, he said with the exuberance of a younger man. He set that block of wood aside and held up the last in his hand. “This one, I wont know until i see what it inspires in me.” With that, he set it down and made his way back to his chair. Picking up the wood he was working along with the knife, the boy questioned him again, “and what about that, that have now?”. “This? Im just whittling where the wood tells me to whittle.”
 
Part2

The boy didnt get to see his grandpa too often but he had many questions not only about whittling but also the knives he used. His parents did not think knives were something that belonged in the home which added to his fascination. “No need to hesitate when you want learn something....”, said the boys grandpa, noticing the boy wanted to know more. “Why do you use such an old knife?”, the boy asked cautiously, not to wanting wear out his welcome. “This knife isnt old... i still remember the day i bought it.”, he replied, paused for a moment and continued. “I have several knives... some for different moods, some for different tasks, and some for the same task but i like to change it up so i can let the knife breathe.” “Let the knife breathe?”, questioned the boy. “Its not like its alive”, continued the boy. “Just opening and closing the knife, exercising the backspring is healthy for these knives. Exercise is good for the knife just as its good for you. When you breathe, you let out that old air, and take in the fresh air. Opening and closing a knife does the same thing.”, the man said. Though now, he got a stern look on his face as he continued,

part3

“Youre not exactly right about them not being alive.... that idea must have come from your father.... ill have you know they are very much alive. They have a soul from the moment they are made. The cutler imbues the knives as he works tirelessly on them. Though, as the knife sits on the shelf, that soul becomes idle and begins to dissipate with time. When you buy a knife... a knife like this”, he said holding up the knife in his, “as you use it, you cultivate that soul. You build a relationship with that soul and it becomes a good friend to you.” The boy was struck by the words of his grandfather and it made him want to learn more. “What about the knives that never get used? Do they lose their soul?”, he questioned. “A well made knife from a cutler will never lose its soul.... though i couldnt say the same for knives being mass produced in..... someplace else.”, the grandfather said, trailing at the end. “What of the soul of a knife that is mistreated?”, asked the boy. “Theres many ways a knife can be mistreated, one is if the owner of the knife is ignorant and is careless with it. In that case, the soul is just never cultivated and continues dissipating. Another way is if someone buys the knife and uses it to take advantage of the cutler and any potential buyer. They use the knife as a means for financial gains against their fellow man. These knives are disrespected and forsaken. They beg to be used and these are only used as a status symbol. No one knows what happens the these poor souls. Its sad.”

And one to appease the narwhale ponds,

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

You forgot to give credit to the late great Mitch Hedberg. The guy was brilliant!

He delivery was probably 9/10ths of his standup. A couple years ago, i had a coworker that claimed to be all about standup but didnt know who he was. I showed him some clips and the dude was just blank face.. i donno… like he was waiting for a joke to hit him. I guess mitch isnt for everyone, but id rather listen to him over any other comedian.
 
Looking back through Charlie’s posts in this thread, the bolsters were under way a couple months ago, and more recently the blades and bone for handles were also in process. So it sounds like it should be at least underway to some extent. Looking forward to the order thread!
