Hey WW, I wash my shirts in cold water, after they are done but still wet I stretch them out, the fibers (or whatever you want to call it) will give when wet and it will not dry shrunk up. I have a long torso (and large stomach too!), so I have had to hang dry my shirts since I was a kid. If you can get your wife to help, they will stretch out even longer.

This makes sense, ill give stretching them a try while they are still wet and see what happens thanks bud

LMAO, i thought at first you were sending me a link to that knife or something, only reason i knew it was you was because your email and screen name were the same. I clicked it, because why not, i didnt think you would send anything hazardous, but when i clicked it my computer started flashing and then norton comes on and says it blocked an attack from fake facebook survey something or other.

Its all good man, just dont ask for my mailing address LMAO I dont need any anthrax or anything sent my way ;)

Just kidding bud.

I think that we have had enough discussion on the proper way to wash clothes and move on to something more interesting. Like which fork to use when eating salad.

1 fork for everything.

Next your going to be asking how far to stick out your pinky finger when drinking tea :eek:

Still just kidding around-

Finally a topic I know, Place Settings. The basic rule is 2 forks on the left(salad fork goes on the far left), then you have the charger/plate/bowl stack, then you have the knife (blade facing the stack) then the tablespoon, then the soup spoon. At the 1 o'clock position is the coffee cup/saucer and coffee spoon next to that goes the water goblet and next to that goes the wine glass.

The one thing that throws everything off, the Oyster Fork. The Oyster Fork goes on the spoon side. Which is just crazy!

that IS just crazy. And another reason I won't eat oysters. I cannot abide chaos in my silver setting.

a full place setting usually has an appetizer fork, salad fork, fish fork, dinner fork. The oyster fork actually looks like a 2 tined spork. Kind of like a trident without the center tine.

Isn't there also some kind of dessert fork that sits at 12 o'clock, too?
 
Hmm interesting... The same.... but not the same at all....

I can totally see someone at Walmart wearing a busted ass Taz shirt from 1996.
Awesome! :D
That line is sig worthy!

Lol, thanks. Taz enjoyed a little run of popularity for awhile in that era as a thing. Don't see him around much anymore, it seems.. sad world.

someone wanted to see the Kabar grass machete at beckerwest so here it is. It's got a "triple edge" and looks like a sword snake eyes would use. Blade length is about 14" and comes with a nylon sheath.

The dessert fork usually gets brought out with the dessert. It can be set at the 12 o'clock position as well. Oh and I forgot the bread plate that goes at t he 11 o'clock position along with the butter knife.

You don't need it if you are not serving a fish course.

fish course is different it gets it's own fork separate from the oyster fork.
 
Who'd'a thunk a bunch of Beckerheads would get to discussing place setting ettiquette? The sun is probably gonna rise in the west tomorrow. :D
 
I thought forks were for stabbing hands that try to grab food off your plate?
 
6 years cooking classes, as well as catering classes. You learn about a lot of useless shit. Like how many frickin' forks go on the table. That is the base "full" setting. It can get a lot more complicated. When you get into the glasses. Aperitif and digestif glasses wine glasses, port glasses, brandy glasses, and into the spoons for palate cleanser courses...
