Assult vs. Assault
(the contest did say you had to get it exactly right, word for word...)
Check it out, it's on the last page...
Where's the justice, bro?--- Pendentive
Pendentive,
Hopefully you're just joking around. I did say "word for word" not letter for letter. And I don't think you would have come out and corrected ANG1's spelling if I hadn't announced that he was the winner, would you? I noticed that you hadn't corrected anyone else's spelling up until that point so I'm assuming that you're not a "grammar freak".
His winning submission is below. You had put "Ten" year anniversary Argonne Assault, which actually only has a 7 1/2" long blade. The "Twenty" year is the longer one.
This is the part that makes the internet tough, as opposed to "live" conversation. Here we are all congratulating the winner and your post could almost be mistakenly interpreted as "sour grapes". I'm sure that it is not. Now, I on the other hand am full of "sour grapes". . . I mean I lost a $1,300.00 knife in a contest that I was positive could NOT be won!!!! A 31 word acronym? What do I have to do to beat you guys???
Here's ANG1's winning submission:
"Twenty Year Anniversary Argonne Assault Variant With A Ten Inch Long Blade Sub Hilt Handle And A Birds Beak Skull Crusher That Was Designed Specifically For Killing Terrorists Up Close And Personal"
Congrats again ANG1 !!!!!

Pendentive, that post is completely tasteless. If anyone should be unhappy about the outcome it should be... well let's just say, Not You.
Sorry guys, I don't want to be trollish, it's just, that kind of thing gets under my skin.
Again, Ang, that's good stuff....enjoy .

Congrats ANG1!! You are one smart fella! I work here and I couldn't get through the first sentence!! LOL! Seriously!!
I have to say that this 10 incher is one beautiful knife. I'm the type of person that won't buy something unless I use it all the time..........I'd buy this and let it sit on the wall!!
Alright guys I'll help you out!!
Come Jerry lets see some pics......You slacker! I don't think you even have a knife that big to show everyone. Come on, prove me wrong!
How was that guys??!!
Enjoy ANG1!!

yes lets see some pics, "Ruler of the Oinks"
Man, I think that I'm finally starting to come down from the biggest high that I've experienced in a long, long time, without inhaling!
Again, I want to thank all you guys and gals for your well wishes.
Jerry, nothing that I would say right now could possibly express my true feelings, except that you are, and always will be, "DA MAN"!!!!
Your enthusiasm, personality, and generousity is overwhelming, and quite contagious. And on top of all of this, you've got INFI!!
This forum is, by far, the best and most friendly that I've ever had the pleasure in which to participate.
The guys and gals here can be very weird and goofy, and I know that's why I feel so at home here!!
Jerry,if you have the time, please post some pics. The suspense is driving me crazy. Of course, I've been told that with me, it's not a drive, but just a short putt!!
Thank you so much for the contest!!!
