What do we have to do to stir up some activity around here?

Nothing new since 6 PM yesterday............................

Maybe a best looking outhouse contest, biggest dog or littlest dog.

Shaving with a 20" or larger blade? Nose hair removal with a 25" Sirupati?

I shall ponder this.
 
I just yelled into my monitor, hello anybody here................................it echoed several times with a sound of emptiness.

I feel kind of lonely.
 
How bout some snake stories or that spider that took a chunk out of ya? I was thinking the same thing. I saw flags half mast yesterday and this place was dead. I know im usually late getting news but your right Bawanna. Maybe there is a Killer whale lurking and all the sharks went to the Farallons? Chum shortage????

Its about that time of the month for a shave and I do have a brand new chitlangi razor I need to test:D

Do Killer whales eat sharks? I didn't know that. I work with a couple whales here at work, being supervisors they try to bit now and then just to act superior but so far I've survived. (barely).

Be very very careful of that chitlangi razor in the general vicinity of your throat. Could cause a horrible ending to your story.

Now just maybe if all the sharks are in the Farallons (wherever that might be) and some nice blades come up that might be a very good thing! I even have a modest supply of dog fish money.
 
Hey Fellas,
Been a quite kind of weekend, been lurking but not posting. Wondering what the DOD is gonna be. What kinda trouble you boys looking to get into?
 
Have a safe Trip Jens! Your not Khukriless are you? I plan to add to your "long leaf" post soon as grandkids let me. They see me on the computer and instantly they want to play Angry Birds and porky pig something or other. Few more days and momma will be out of hospital and i will get visitation with my Khuks again! Oh oOH...Think Pugs is on to us?
 
Any kind of trouble Pugs, don't matter none at all. Trouble is my middle name.

I lurked all weekend too in case Auntie got sneaky and slipped in a evening or weekend deal. Wasn't nothing to lurk on. Nothing at all.

Maybe I just like to see my own self type or something.

Now I got something. I can work on figuring out where SFO might be...................Could be tricky, I think Jens is on the other side of the big muddy and across the big salt water after that too. A right far piece. I don't care who ya are.
 
Bawanna:

I think you woke me up, yelling into your monitor. Since this thread is wandering all over the place, and we are in the Cantina after all, here's one of my favorite dog stories. It takes place about a hundred years ago in a rural area:

Man travels from town to town with his nondescript-looking little pit bull, challenging the owner of the town's toughest dog, making money on bets.

Walks into a bar and issues the usual challenge. Bar owner points to a big, lazy looking yellow dog sleeping in the corner, and the bet is on.

Much to the man's surprise, the yellow dog grabs his pit bull and kills it quickly.

"What kind of dog is that?" he asks.

"We don't know," the guys in the bar say, "but you should have seen the head of hair he had before we shaved it off."
 
Thanks guys.
Sfo is just San Francisco airport.
No Kukris here. No trees too.
Just doing a job interview.
Got a super blue steel endura 5 with me. This morning I had cut an apple and a nectarine. Less than 2mins before I rinsed it. By that time the blade turned dark at the edge and a little bit at the cheeks.
Didn't know high carbon is that sensitive. Looks cool though. It's not really looking like rust. More like when you heat a steel and it changes its color.
More when I'm back home at my pc
:)
 
Banana's will do that sometimes too. Note I said banana and not bawanna. There's a difference, some say not much though.

You want to work in San Francisco? Seems like a right scary place to me. Was there about 40 years ago, didn't leave anything I felt I had to go back and look for.
 
Nah just the airport.
Living in Folsom (near Sacramento) but flights from SF are cheaper.
Can't really be picky as a recent MBA graduate but would also prefer not to live in SF.
Traffic uh oh. GPS says 5 minutes but then it takes 1 hour.
Safety wise I would be fine but with kids it's another issue. Saw two guys exchanging punches in front of McDonald yesterday night. Maybe high on sugar?
Anyways will be going to Chicago and Boston and be back Wednesday night.
 
For some reason I thought you lived in Germany? Where ever did I get that impression?

Now I've suddenly developed a phobia of large lazy yellow dogs too.
 
Lived in Germany until 2001. Did an internship at Purdue univ. went back to Ger to finish my medical / biotech engineering masters. Came to US again in 2003 did lots of plant genetics. In 2008 we moved from Indiana to California. Did my MBA at Santa Clara Univ. and now I'm here :)
So yes I'm German living in the US. My wife is from India where we spend lots of time too. So once in a while there could be a different country coming up in a conversation. But I'm living and working in America.

Very cool Jens, you are truly global! And you also have a much much more expensive hobby of collecting degrees :). And here I thought only country folks collected blades. I was so wrong! Interestingly, I finished my education in California and then got the hell out of there (in time!)....
 
Countryfolks hehe. I guess I'm one at heart then.
Have been in martial arts since I was 5 or 6 which could explain my interest in self defence weapons. Maybe it was my genes. Heard we had a few ancestors making weapons for the Kaiser. My time in the army didn't help much either. And now there is Internet which allows awesome research and buying. For example just 15 or 20 years ago chances for me to ever hear of HI would have been close to zero.

Degrees fade on the wall and in the head even faster. Don't remember much from my first semester. A blade however can last hundreds of years.
 
Giessen? Cool. Am from Jena but was stationed in Schwarzenborn when they sent me to the Bundeswehrkrankenhaus in Giessen for a checkup. They determined I shouldn't jump from airplanes. Kind of pointless information since we were only driving around in tanks and hiking through the woods anyways. Gotta love the army ;)
Haven't seen much of Giessen besides the train station and the hospital.

Philll let me know what you are looking for and I can email aunty on your behalf. (As long as its not a Gelbu special, the next one is mine)

The ridiculously long German words are a killer! So far I've only managed to learn bitte, danke, entschuldigung, and "sprechen sie englisch?"

Oh and I can almost count to twenty except I forgot how to say twelve.
