Some More MWKK Pictures

[Dave Rishar]

I've got 37 or so of them so I'll link to them externally. I sized them down so the loading times should not be bad. If I botch any links, bear with me and I'll get them fixed eventually. (Jet lag+allergy medication=mistakes.)

Three flavors of Ganga Ram Specials. You can guess the sizes.

Continued...the chips fly!
Roadrunner sends the chips flying.
"...and the wood burst apart with joy."
Nasty and Roadrunner argue over whose is larger. The matter is put to a vote.
Thomas Linton enforces the decision.

In a somewhat surreal turn of events, a duck waddled up at this point. It seemed to think that the flying woodchips were actually bits of bread and attempted to eat them. Adding hilarity to an already humorous event, the duck became angry with the poor quality of its "bread" and voiced its displeasure loudly, raising its feathers and trotting around at the same time. The MWKK '05 had gained its mascot. A name was never picked.

My vote is for "Chip."

Nasty makes the call...roast duck for dinner. (Alternate title: Having run out of the cadavers of criminals to practice cuts on, Nasty seeks another option.)
Someone hasn't gotten the hint yet.
Thomas, Hollowdweller, and Nasty rearrange the cutting area. The duck looks on approvingly.
Roadrunner lends a hand. The duck keeps an eye on things.
Continued...
With Roadrunner and Hollowdweller at the helm, firewood will not be a problem. Big Bob awaits his turn in the breach.
Falcata in hand, Nasty demonstrates swordsmanship as only Nasty can do.
Continued...
The chips are flying! And who said that swords can't chop wood...
Roadrunner and Nasty preparing to trim the bushes, HI style.

And that was just Saturday. If only I'd brought more batteries, I could've gotten Sunday...

Lessons learned and all. It was an excellent time nonetheless. I hope that you enjoy the pictures. I enjoyed taking them.

Thanks for the pics! Looks like a good time had by one and all...including the duck.

Thank you, Satori. I still wonder why when the wood was finished being cut the Duck kept his head?

Thanks!! Those were great! I know you had a good time. All of you must get to a gathering. They are worth every penny spent to make it.

I'm loving the duck.

Apparently, natural selection is broken.

 

[hdwrlover]

That duck was either very brave or very foolish to be near all those cutting instruments.

Enjoyed all this pics. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Bobwhite]

Looks like a good time, I wish I had been there.

 

[Nasty]

BTW...the duck is a female. We took it easy on her. Had it been a male, I think we may have had more than burgers for supper.
