of being able to get a pocket knife as sharp as a straight razor is that
when you accidentally snap it shut on your finger after opening a bag of cat
litter, it certainly does a good job of splitting your finger open. Just as
well I'm a big tough scotsman. And I needed to clean the kitchen floor
anyways.

Yeek, After I cut through my fingernail with my Kukri, I've been
quite careful, And haven't had a major cut since (Besides a little one
on my head, But it wasn't deep at all.)

How many cats do you have? We have two male cats, Tommy and Oscar.
I don't know about your cat(s), But we have have to put up the cat

****Steve is a pussy but he does'nt have cats...... But when it comes
to Yoghurt Steve knows his onions..

There may be a lot of custom yoghurt makers out there these
days, but Bob Johnson still sets the benchmark in my book.

Spyderco. Nice big handle on the back, you never need to put your
finger near the edge to handle it.

I've got 3, Nero a neutered tom who weighs about 20 pounds; Cinders a long
haired tortoiseshell who is the most affectionate cat in the world; and
Elvis a male kitten who is absolutely mental. Then there's the dog, who is
still hanging on after 15 years.

They say you don't really own a knife until if cuts you. Congrats!
It's yours now! Sorry about the floor..... and your finger.

About Spyderco..... I leave my Benchmades at home when I have to fly,
and bring a large Spyderco in my checked-in luggage. I can clip in
into my pants when I arrive, and all I have to do is remember to put
it back into the checked-in luggage when I leave. This week I
forgot...

Even if I go through the metal detector nude I'd set off the alarms. I
went through the airport entry and set off the alarm (as usual) so I
had to be wanded and patted down. Despite the fact that I was wearing
white shorts and the clip on the Spidy is black, they didn't find it,
and I still didn't realize I had it. I then went through the gate
security check, again set off the alarms, again got wanded, and again
they let me pass through. It wasn't until I got home and undressed for
a shower that I discovered that I had the knife in my pocket. So much
for airport security..... I feel much safer now.

It's not required that you amputate your left arm. Just a drop will
suffice. Unless, of course, you're into rituals and stuff with candles
and goats, etc. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and

******All except you Steve. The photo of you facing the wrong way
showing your "pupils" how to take a snap and showing off your lily
white legs is almost as funny as the one of you taken when you got
arrested.

It's all a -=show=- to get the scared and stupid to fly again!
(you knowed that already, right?:)

The rest would fly anyway, knowing full well they can't stop another
high jacking. The passengers ain't gonna go down without a fight
tho, so other than the unforunate on the ground (like in Scotland)
that's all they're going to really get... a plane and the people on
it. No more crashing them into things, unless maybe it's a cargo
plane they take over? Or gas all the passengers or something?

Issue all the passengers as they board a choice of Buck 110 or
Kabar or none. :)

Alvin the big wimp at only 3/4 Scot in AZ
ps- "com on ya prick!" my girlfriend got a kick out me hollering
that today in a really bad accent... she got a big kick out of
the hammer with the clear packaging tape etc too. :)
pps- that's what I shoulda hollered at the skiny mexican kid tonight
that confronted me in my son's apartment parking lot, his
friend dragged him away... whew! :/ His buddy did all three of
us a big-ass favor! :) they figured I had a knife behind my
back.
ppps- without me hiding my arm behind my back like that, he would
have jumped me for sure! No doubt about it. None.
pppps- instead of me being here talkin crap and having fun with my
friends on the internet... I don't know what I'd be doing
right now :) Got any guesses? :) I don't think he had a
knife, just rocks and anger. I'm just glad I didn't have
to cut the little shit in half. But someone might have to
someday?
ppppps- I'll scan a picture of it, I used it to skin the heavy
insulated "bond strand" when following a "steel gang", it's
just the fixed blade I carry in my pickup's cross-bed tool
box for stuff like that, it was never intended to be used
to field dress anyone, let alone a messcan kid. Whew!
That was friggin close. :)
pppppps- the kid told me to walk and I told him I wasn't going
anywhere I'm staying right here (beside the tailgate of my
pickup). The kid setup a situation where one or both of us
was going to die right there in the parking lot... I wonder
if he even knows that? :) Him cussing me and spittin at me
etc was nothing... might as well be me as anyone. :)

Both of our cats are really nice cats, Oscar can tolerate pretty much
anything, While Tommy is a bit irritable at times (But still nice).
We did have a cat called Lucy a long time ago, As you put it,
'absolutely mental'. Ran away one day and never came back.
And we also have a bloody dog (Name: Rusty), Big nuisance, Only people
who really give him attention is my dad and my younger brother.
My sister taught him to hunt squirrels, It's quite funny to watch. She
actually caught a squirrel, Knocked it out of a tree and picked it
up.. :)

Hmmmm... you suppose if you miss, you might blow a 1+1/2" hole
anyway, with that rig? :) Even #9? 22rf shot (mustard seed)
is supposed to be #12, not sure what that would do either. :/

Heck, up close like that, use a power-piston stuffed full of 20
gauge nitro cards! ;)

A friend saw a friend shot with an "empty" 12 gauge shotgun shell
from about 8 feet (Willcox Rex Allen Days, from one flat-bed truck
to another as they "met" each other on the city street:) not sure
if it was fiber-wads or a plactic-wad (ustta know) but he had to be
taken to the horse-pital, like right now! :/

At -30-paces I've had aftermarket WAA12-like wads go clean through
the sheet of cardboard I was using to pattern the shotgun with.

LOL! :)
Holy cow!
That's a cool one! :)

Did it work tho? :/

My guess...
Your brother in law, like, got up and left (in a hurry to change
his soiled shorts) so it worked, right?

Or what? :)

ps- it's a spasm in the diaphram and breathing in and out deeply
and holding my breath and again breathing deliberatly before
the spasm re-occurs, a few times, works for me :)
pps- man, can you imagine being shot by that sucker? One minute
partying-hardy mid-day and -=BAM=- a friend shoots-you thinkin
it's gonna be funny! :/
ppps- ...the more I think about it, the more I think it was an old
Winchester high-brass load with the "wrapper" and fiber wads.

After an afternoon and evening of incredible annoyances that I don't have
the willpower to recount, he developed a case of the LOUD hiccups at a
summer camp where late evening was reading time. I quietly put down my
book, went up to my bedroom, cut the payload half off a skeet reload (with
my '70's vintage Schrade stockman), loaded it into a Winchester 1200 pump
gun, and returned to the living room. The look on his and my sister's faces
were identical; shock and fear.

"I've finally had enough of your bull***t!" I said as I pulled up the
shotgun. He jumped up out of his chair and I pointed the gun between his
shaking knees. The report was disappointing; probably lacking any real
volume due to the lack of pressure from the round. But there was a very
impressive muzzle flash! :-) The wad went clean through the chair's
fabric and cut a nasty hole in it. :-(

No more hiccups.... and no humor seen by anyone but myself.

Luckily, I remember from childhood some of the local kids having shotgun
combat with cut-off loads. My God! The things kids do! ;-) Anyway, some
serious welts were raised at surprising distances with cardboard wad
columns. I think the very sharp plastic wads would create a nasty wound!

Play safe,

Kramer! :o)
