Good Lord, Brian!

You have it down to a science. The competition grows fiercer.

No science, Dave. I ran the numbers for a hoot & they simply confirmed my observations -- i.e., new khuks appearing every few days, generally in the middle of the afternoon.

Rational thought & reason aside, I do feel the need for a fix sometime soon.

When you figure that's 3 hours later Pacific Time in Reno, that comes pretty close ( OK, ten minutes before ) to "High Noon" on the average time new offerings are posted, and between 9AM and 5PM PT on the opposite ends of the bell curve.
 
True, Rusty, but averages can be deceiving. If you were to bracket that "High Noon" time by taking your lunch hour from, say, 11:30 to 12:30, you would have been online for only 3 of the past 10 offerings.

I'd say you're an HIKV sufferer when you have enough khukuris to equip your very own Gorkha regiment..
 
"you insist on using your 25 inch Sirupati Special to carve the turkey."

"you and your wife (both are HIKV sufferers) go into intense negotiations as to who gets to order the next HI special."

"your wife says "Not tonight, Honey" while fondling her new HI khukuri and you understand..."

So how is a Gorkha force/unit divided up, is it different in Britain and India? Like squad, platoon, etc? How many men to each?

I'm thinking, I'm thinking!


 
Both at home and at work you have a shorcut to the HI forum on your computers' desktops so that you can quickly check the forum throughout the day to try to make sure you don't miss an "Uncle Bill Special."

And if you are forced to go an hour or two without checking you get a sick feeling in your stomach because you just know that the chance-of-a-lifetime khukuri is going to be offered and you're going to miss it.
 
This is turning in to one of the funniest threads yet!

Rusty, I don't know the current breakdown. Soman may be able to help us some but he has been away from Gorkhas for maybe 10 years so don't know how current he is on the numbers.

So how am I going to know whether I've reached the squad, platoon, or company level in my armory?
 
Rusty, you'll know... hehe

"in your first month of membership in the HI Forum, you average 1 new khukuri order every 2.5 days." True fact. Just ask Didi Yangdu.

Rusty, do you see now?

You consider buying your first laptop computer so that you'll have a way to check the forum even while on camping trips.

You not only find yourself talking to your khuks, they start talking back.

While visions of Khukuris danced in their heads"

Mike L., the trouble with counting khukuri is that I can't get to sleep when doing this as it gets me too excited and then the only solution is to email Dyad'ko Bill another khukuri order. THEN, I can fall asleep, with visions of khukuris in my dreams.
