Happy New Year to all you wonderful posters. I have enjoyed the last year with you immensely, and look to another exciting, informative and entertaining year.
I was thinking that some posters could use some things to make 1999 a better year, so decided to put these items down in the form of a Wish List for 1999. In no particular order, here it is:
Jim March: may he get some shoe lifts, and gain the wisdom not to ride his motorcycle between two semis at 100mph.
Les de Asis; may he realize that there is a vast market for cutting edge (sorry) technology, but that that market does not exist in storefront dealerships. It exists on the internet.
Salmon; may he not have to bang his head on very many times on fish ladders on the way to the spawning grounds.
To Adam; may you achieve wisdom enough to balance your effervescent spirit, and may you not post any more threads along the lines of 'This steel, first made in 1942, is probably best for knives.' Further, may you learn to spell.
Mike Turber; may he finally earn enough money so he can sell his Corvette and buy a real sports car, such as a Porsche. Further, while Freud did say, 'Sometimes a cigar is only a cigar,' may he realize that a two foot HALO is NOT a cigar.
Mrs. Mike Turber; some real OC spray to use when the next photo of her repelling her husband is taken. Further, may her husband leave his 'quick in and out' mentality, (in which he revels, playing with auto knives in his office), at work.
Joe Talmadge; may he continue to dazzle us with his knowledge and keep bringing enlightenment to us.
Steve Harvey; ditto
Donna; may she never learn that 'kali' means 'cellulite on the thighs' in Hindu.
Jadis; may you survive in Canada this winter without losing any fingers or toes, and do well in school, eh?
Shaded Dude; may your wife perform her 'hat trick' many more times in the future. Further, that you NOT tell us deprived (and in my place depraved as well) people about it when she does.
Kit Carson; may he get a Foley catheter and some Nicoderm patches so he doesn't have to leave the mirc chat room every 10 min.
Mark Boyer; may his workshop get burglarized, and the only items taken be the tamper proof Torx fasteners that he puts on his knives.
DC; may her quest for shark hunting with her sword from Rob Simonich distract her from my kneecaps. Further, may she get a wedding ring.
Also, may her son, Vito, grow strong, healthy and wise, and always eat his vegetables.
Rob Simonich; may he take the lessons from 1998 to heart. When a customer opens a package from him, expecting to see a custom made Talonite / Titanium knife, but instead finds a piece of rusty hacksaw blade with two pieces of branch used as 'scales' and held to the blade by thread, you get a lump of coal in your stocking. The real knife was under the rest of the bubble wrap; so Rob is still alive.
Rob Cude; best of luck to you, and may nothing go off unless you wish it to. Speaking of explosive ordnance, of course.
Rich Lucibella; may he learn the wisdom of the Marshall / Sanow / Towert camp. Further, that he learns that a runway is a long, staight, flat area of concrete.
Les Robertson; may he put Black T on many other knives, despite the criticism of their makers.
David Riker; may he learn to NEVER EVER tell his wife how much his knife collection cost!!
Bald1; may all his boys and their 'bones' (B1B bombers) make it home safely, as well as his own son, Erich.
Thaddeus; may he gain a better appreciation of actual vs. perceived risk. Worrying about catching AIDS from a mosquito is rather illogical when one is working as a bouncer, in body armor, in a place where fatal stabbings occur. May your wish to become a doctor be realized.
Bill McWilliams; may your luck continue, and you win another knife; actually a set, with 'Ginsu' stamped into the blades.
Tim Flanagan; may you continue to offer the best deals on Photon Lights, and continue to send me checks for posting those spontaneous, complimentary, sincere posts about what a good deal you give people on Photons.
James Mattis; may you continue to be an erudite, calming, informative moderator, and continue to enjoy happiness with Toni.
Toni Mattis; may Mad Dog make you a ceramic salad fork so you don't get busted again.
Spark; may you continue to do a superlative job of maintaining this forum. Further, may Mike Turber give you a raise and a year end bonus.
Derek, Korene, and Carley Russell; may they continue to be happy, and may Korene get her degree. May Derek realize that if you blow your knee out twice trying to complete BUD/S, it might be God's way of telling you that you shouldn't attempt a third time.
To all the moderators; thanks for a great job, keep going in 1999!
Ken Cox; may he keep the twirly side up all the time, especially when on medevac missions.
Shannon Lew; may he learn to shoot both rifle and pistol accurately.
Bubba; may he and his 'Redneck Bodyguards 'R US' protect me at the next Knifegnugen as they did at the first.
Carl Morgan; may his mother never find out he is using her computer.
There are many of you left, but I have run out of time, and have to attend to my 7yo, so feel free to add to this wish list. Should there be anyone who I have not offended, please accept my apologies.
Best of 1999 to all of you, Walt
