Now I'm just messin' with ya

I haven't seen the second goose for days. This is the last shot of the two of them. You will notice that the goose that's missing is back and to the left. Back, and to the left.

One more

Just one more post, before it actually hits one o'clock.

Why?

I dunno.

Sort of bored and antsy and bored and wanting to post but I have nothing meaningful or interesting to say.

Actually, I have many meaningful and interesting things to say, but most of them are behind a privacy screen and I can't mention any of them.

15 things I could tell you about 27 people and not a one is cleared for publication.

Ah well, almost 1 pm now, time to post!

knives this time

I know what you're thinking (because I have implants in all your heads monitoring your thoughts*) you're thinking "Where are the knives? I know you got the best knife for VEWPRF, where is it?"

The Konjo II from Cold Steel is the prettiest knife I've seen in years, and it's mine! Because gave it to me!!!!
DSC05999
It's actually a lot slimmer than I would have thought.

DSC05996
It's practically flat.

DSC05991
I like the cross hatching.


DSC05990
SHARP!

DSC06000
Look kids, fake ray skin sort of thin on the outside of the sheath... for some reason that I can't fathom. Looks cool though. That's probably it.


Now another cool, but not quite as cool knife was the HTF Recon, which I got from . She gave me a better knife than this... and we'll talk about that at a later date.

HTF RECON!

DSC06008
It's a Gil Hibben Design...

DSC06002
but a United Cultery Knife.

DSC06014
It's a lot bigger and chunkier than I had anticipated.

DSC06011
I think it's supposed to be apeing the Hibben III.



*No, clearly not. If I knew that I would know who had a crush on me and I could cuddle up to them.

Y.A.S.

Why are there so many shots of this silly scabbard, you ask? Well, it’s simple. Evidently, that's just how I roll motherfucker!

question

If deflation or revaluement happens are we going to have to say about the Bernie Madoff scandal "Of course, those were 2008 dollars and you couldn't get nearly as much as you could with a buck back then. Why I remember you'd have to spend $20 just to see a movie that turned out to be a piece of shit."

And the children will look up and say "Really grandpa?"

"Why yes little Jimmy, that was before the days when we ritually killed people for making bad movies. Oh the day we killed Uwe Boll and McG in the same afternoon was a glorious day."

Another Swordy Sword

Musashi Swords' fairly afforadable and very nice Zetsurin Sword with the red saya (or scabbard)

DSC05904

You'll notice there is no tsuba (hand guard) on this sword. That's one of the main reasons I bought it. I have a liking for things without hand gaurds.

FUN!

Okay, so here is what's going on.

It's decided to rain... again.
Big surprise, I know. We've had more water falling from the sky in the last four months than we've had in the last four years*. Lake Superior has risen 5 inches since November**.
This means that it being spring, and there being fresh mold, new plants and other such lovelies coming up again, I have begun sneezing. Sneezing is fun because I sneeze sometimes 35 times in a row*** and the repeated shock of sneezing sends waves of pain down my arms, and legs as well as kick starting headaches. The difference in pressures also means that my hands are swollen, meaty lumps made of pure arthritic pain and misery. I can type, but who wants to when that's all you have to talk about? I can sort of cook, but the pain my me paws means holding things like knives and spatulas become an adventure wherein our hero learns how to hold things without his thumb because those hurt most of all.

Add to that the fact that everyone else in the house was as cheerful as me and you get the idea that we've had quite a fun day here.


In other news, I totally want to build an O'Neill Cylinder in my back yard.




FANCY'S FUN FACTS!
*This estimate is incredibly exaggerated
**This isn't.
***We've counted. Well, I've counted. Al and Folly normally run within the first or second sneeze.
