I know I'm not alone is this thinking. After reading your bio on the HI website, from fellow forumites, and most importantly from my own personal expirence with Uncle Bill, I have to say this guy has the biggest cajones this side of the equator. Who in the heck joins the Peace Corp at 50 and goes to some god forsaken country like Nepal, Uncle Bill that's who. If you ever get down to the Tulsa area, I owe you a Heineiken (sp?) or six.;)
 
"I have to say this guy has the biggest cajones this side of the equator."

That's exactly what my 22 year old Peace Corps volunteer girlfriend said.

I'll be in Tulsa tomorrow night, God willing, but pals are picking me up at airport and they don't like to drink and drive. However, many thanks for fine Oklahoman hospitality.

And she also thought that he was a brave man for what he did. Sorry couldn't help myself. :D
 
Too bad it's only the cajones.

I had fantasies about retiring out as the world's oldest porn star but had to give them up as I hear parts transplanted from elephants do not work well on humans.

50 years ago while serving aboard the USS Warrington I often won the monthly "Mr. McNasty" award. An award given to the sailor aboard for the most exemplary use of eloquent profanities. Now in my twilight years I hope to win the "Mr. McNasty" award again but this time for being the nastiest of the nasty old men.

Any votes?
 
Not sure that you should really win that or not, but will give you my vote since that is the funniest thing that I have read in some time.:D Have fun on your trip and be careful.

That would be great! Not sure how it would come across on the sales site but I would be in for one if it lived up to the name!

BEHOLD THE MCNASTY!!!!!
 
Me!

It'll be a jerky-angled blade affair, with brazen bronze bolster/buttcap and a Yellow patent leather scabbard with a fringe. The blade will be the HI tanto version, which will look just like a big, bent, mega-tanto! Complete with puckering buttcap, sawback spine, and middle-finger Sword of Shiva.
It'll also have five or more different chos located somewhat randomly betwen the bolster and the tip, for that swiss cheese effect. We'll tell buyers this is to lighten the weight.
It needs to be about 3/4 of an inch thick, about 20 inch blade, 5 inches across at the widest point. 3 inch handle, of massive circumference, like a beer can. Hammer upholstery tacks in ramdomly for grip, repeat as necessary.
It better weigh over 5 pounds, just to be sure. Oh, and we'll need tritium inlays for that night-action effect, randomly spaced/oriented fullers, half a dozen to a side.
Frog sould be made from a Heineken can, edged in chain mail.
The tool keeper in the scabbard should have room for a chakmak, 12ga. Shotgun and spare shells, flashlight, and a pony keg.

Maybe Pen can CAD it out fer us!

This would be one heck of a khuk! Ferrous Wheel, that was a great post.



Uncle Bill, i hope you have a safe, and fun trip. We look forward to getting ya back here in one piece.



Count me in for a "Mr. McNasty" model khukuri. I think this really is a great idea that we should get done. Maybe not as "creatively" as Ferrous Wheel's design, but big n' nasty... sounds sweet and somehow necessary.
 
I like everything about it but the sawback. I mean come on you wouldn't want to get carried away or anything.
 
That's the "Tactical McNasty." The standard model won't have the sawback or the compass in the handle. :rolleyes: :D
 
Peace Corps volunteers left a deep impression on me. Back in the 60s, when I was just a little kid, these peace corps chaps were in various places over in my country.

I remember coming across a couple of them. They were jovial chaps, fun to be with and usually have a great sense of humour. I thought at that time what a wonderful bunch of people, journeying half-way across the world to share their knowledge with us, and at the same time, learning to appreciate our way of life.

It was a sad day for me when the last of them left but they did leave behind some very lasting impression. So today when I hear of anyone being a former Peace Corps volunteer, the good impression sinks in very fast.

Bill, I know you didn't come to my country during your Peace Corps days but I still want to say "thank you". It's people like you who make me want to perform the same kind of service wherever and whenever I an.
 
Y'all are making holding onto my butter n' egg money awful tough. I guess you better count me in on a "McNasty." The name says it all; like the kid told the stranger, "used to be an alligator til I cut off his tail & painted him yellow."
