So since everyone else is doing it, (including another member of the clean your damn keyboard club) here’s what manner of knife rides in my pants these days: It’s a Kershaw Blur tanto factory second that I picked up off a very large auction site about a year ago. I’m really digging the assisted opening [...]
First sighted at Tam’s, rules here. NB: I wish to own an example of all of these! Winchester 9410 lever action shotgun. If John Wayne came back from the dead and wanted to hunt little birds, USRAC is ready! S&W 5906. Everybody who’s watched a Tarantino flick has wanted one. Shiny and well proportioned, it [...]
I know it’s late prof, but can I still get credit for it? The rules: 1. Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating! 2. Find page 123. 3. Find the first five sentences. 4. Post the next three sentences. 5. Tag five people. Walter Lippmann, serving as an ambassador for [...]
First seen at Tam’s, hence from Squeaky’s. I wanna play too! I swear to gawd I’ve seen this exact CD in a used music store.
This one’s been going around. I first saw it at Tam’s, Squeaky’s and TD’s. LALOLKFATYK (Sounds suspiciously Icelandik to me!) WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? I share my first and middle names with my grandfathers. Apparently it’s 50% coincidence. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? I got a little misty at the end of [...]

SDB volunteered his own “Obvious But Not” concepts as promogulated by ColtCCO. In particular, I really liked his second idea, and wish I had thought of it first: Change is the norm. Stability is an illusion. Trying to prevent change is a fool’s quest. I forget who it was, but they wrote that all historians [...]
ColtCCO challenges me to list 5 concepts that I consider blindingly obvious, yet are a mystery to the general public. I accept! 1. Price Controls Cause Shortages. Von Mises had this figured out in the 30s, complete with equations and charts, yet still retards still persist in legislative efforts to manipulate prices. If it cost [...]
Being critically short of crazy-ass customer stories, I’m always up for a game of meme tag! Today’s game is: “Five off the wall, strange, unusual or just little-known facts about yourself.” Hey, I’ve done this one already, before I was cool enough for someone else to ask! But I shall dredge up five more: Despite [...]
