ot: Just went off while I was cleaning it... |
A few days ago I found a neat 2-sword set, complete with cheap nylon-web
scabbard and a shoulder strap. They're made in stainless steel, all one
piece (handle and blade) with nylon-web wrapping on the handle and either
Japanese or Chinese lettering stamped in near the handles. Nice to look at,
but the stainless collects fingerprints.
I decided to clean them; the short one first, then the long one. When I was
finished with the shortie, I set it nearby on a stable-seeming stack of DVD
cases while I worked on the other one.
Something got bumped and I instinctively reached for the DVD's as they
started sliding sideways...and the shortie bit me, just a little nick,
right at the base of my ring finger, right where a Band-Aid won't stick.
As I was shaking my head in irritated amusement and holding a napkin to the
"grievous wounde" (which bled all of about 30 seconds, just a few drops,
really), I was reminded of something I was told about a pet hamster some 30
years ago: "If it bites you and tastes blood, it'll never be tame again."
I just hope it doesn't try to lead the pack with all the other knives &
swords I've got...

'Ginsu' was a type of knife set which came with a (laughter) '50 Year

Ohh, those.
They called them something like Samari, or something equally daft, when they
advertised them here, a few years back.

Thing is, it was an aluminum can! I can cut an aluminum can with safety
scissors.
I liked the cutting-through-a-radiator-hose bit--but I noted that it was a
hose without the steel coil inside it...

Sure. If I don't think about it I still call aluminum cans tin cans.

A few days ago I found a neat 2-sword set, complete with cheap
nylon-web scabbard and a shoulder strap. They're made in stainless
steel, all one piece (handle and blade) with nylon-web wrapping on
the handle and either Japanese or Chinese lettering stamped in
near the handles. Nice to look at,
but the stainless collects fingerprints.
I decided to clean them; the short one first, then the long one.
When I was
finished with the shortie, I set it nearby on a stable-seeming
stack of DVD
cases while I worked on the other one.
Something got bumped and I instinctively reached for the DVD's as
they started sliding sideways...and the shortie bit me, just a
little nick, right at the base of my ring finger, right where a
Band-Aid won't stick.
As I was shaking my head in irritated amusement and holding a
napkin to the
"grievous wounde" (which bled all of about 30 seconds, just a few
drops, really), I was reminded of something I was told about a pet
hamster some 30
years ago: "If it bites you and tastes blood, it'll never be tame
again."
I just hope it doesn't try to lead the pack with all the other
knives & swords I've got...
Ooooooooooooooooh! Spooky! Do let us know if anything else happens
:)
If you can still type, that is...
Tis but a scratch!
Your arm's off!
I've had worse! Have at you!

A few days ago I found a neat 2-sword set, complete with
cheap nylon-web scabbard and a shoulder strap. They're
made in
stainless
steel, all one piece (handle and blade) with nylon-web
wrapping
on
the handle and either Japanese or Chinese lettering
stamped in near the handles. Nice to look at, but the
stainless collects fingerprints.
I decided to clean them; the short one first, then the
long one. When I was finished with the shortie, I set it
nearby on a stable-seeming stack of DVD cases while I
worked on the other
one.
Something got bumped and I instinctively reached for the
DVD's as they started sliding sideways...and the shortie
bit me, just a little nick, right at the base of my ring
finger, right where a Band-Aid won't stick.
As I was shaking my head in irritated amusement and
holding a napkin to the "grievous wounde" (which bled all
of about 30 seconds, just a few drops, really), I was
reminded of something I was told about a pet hamster some
30 years ago: "If it bites you and tastes blood, it'll
never be tame again."
I just hope it doesn't try to lead the pack with all the
other knives & swords I've got...
Closet. Lock. Keep a watchful eye my friend.
The scabbard's got a snap and retaining strap...if it tries
anything I'll build a forge and re-make it
into...um...something!
A plough is traditional!
A very small plough, to be sure...
Something for a gnome to use, perhaps!
That is getting dangerously close to "trendy"--lawn gnomes!
How about those ones that drop their pants and flip the bird and
stuff...be a rebel!
Might as well have a pink flamingo, too, if I go that way.
Did you hear about the two pink flamingos who got married and put a
pair of plastic Italians on their lawn
Y'know...now that I think of it I haven't seen any pink flamingo ornaments
lately. OR any plastic Italians.
Dare I hope my neighbors are getting less...tacky?

I think the last time I saw one was in Tallahassee, when I lived there.

LOL, these are located in Clifton, NJ. I almost died the first time I saw
them :)

About the only pop-culture icons I see here are stooopit (with three o's

I haven't seen those, but you will spot the occasional "Mary on a

Hello, theocracy with a fundamentalist US Supreme
