Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By arch64: If by helping in knife addiction you mean showing us more expensive knives we should buy, then I agree. My choice of words was deliberate. I said helping IN addiction, not helping WITH or FIGHT or RESIST or anything else like that.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: I like the machining on the obsidian. It is my favorite of the bunch for carry. Lightning fast, easy to control, spring latch, a bit thinner than the others. Unfortunately it is made in China (the rest are US-made) but they did a great job, I highly recommend one. Came with a training blade too. The Basilisk is my favorite for flipping. Twirls smooth in the hand, pivots are smooth as butter, excellent balance, no wonder theyre so sought after. I did break off the tip dropping it on Day 2. I think part of my soul died. Instant depreciation.

Probably synced up with arterial spraying So long as you hold the "safe" handle and take your time you can greatly reduce risk of injury. Also a great way to appear intimidating without bring threatening! I tell people they're just fidget spinners.

Self defeating but good for us I guess The bm cock gobblers slurp those bm balls all day long no matter the gun chopping or dem donations. But this, this hits them square in the eye with bm std sauce. I hope they enjoy that cognitive dissonance. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: Hahaha! Roads are going to be fucked, tiny towns crammed to overflowing, good luck finding any place to park an RV, etc. Same tip I gave to WIC, though, if in Hill City, get lunch at the Alpine Inn. And get dessert. If it works with your timing, get breakfast at the Aladdin Cafe in Aladdin, WY, though it is a tiny bit out of the way. The steakhouse and the bar next door in Beulah, WY are very good. The Vore Buffalo Jump is pretty interesting. If you go into Deadwood, the current saloon #10 is not the original location and not where wild bill was shot. I forget the name of the bar in the correct location but I'm sure Google can find it. The whole town burned down though so none of it is original to that anyway. The midnight star has a bunch of stuff from Costner's movies (costumes, etc.) and is neat to see if you're nearby anyway but probably not worth going just for that. Jake's (restaurant on the third story of the midnight star) is world class fine dining, seriously, but I'm guessing they're fully booked during the rally. Custer state park is worth a day for sure. Many years ago we spent several hours helping a park ranger get a bull elk untangled from a fence he'd unsuccessfully tried to jump, gave it some water by hand from a Tupperware, etc, only to find once it finally was able to try to stand that it had broken it's leg and had to be shot. Nature is cruel. |

I'm working on putting all vowels and half of consonants through my nose. I can’t take churrascaria in the USA seriously when they charge $75+ a person. Brazilians find it very comical to see a meal that should cost $$ being $$$$$. One of the best churrascaria in the USA is found in Everett MA. They only charge $13.99 for dinner yet you get the same cuts and unlimited portions as Texas de brasil, espetus, fogo de chão, tucanos, rodízio, etc. |

I lived out of a hotel there for maybe 6 months. The irony is that Halliburton couldn’t find enough people to work for them so my employer charged them $280 an hour for my services. For those that don’t know, Halliburton was founded in Duncan and they have a bunch of business units there even though the hq moved away long ago. |

I didnt meet the women I married until I was 32. She was definitly worth the wait. Put yourself out there. Be patient, be yourself, be authentic and you'll find her. If there are things you dont like or want to improve about yourself then work on them. Lets say you suck at talking to folk in person (no saying you are as I dont know you from Adam). Understandable, I work with one such person. You aint going to get good at it by sitting alone in your house playing Xbox. Get out there and mingle with folk and learn how to interact. Out of shape? Start working out, might meet someone at the gym. Just to clarify, I'm not saying be someone else or change who you are but rather strive to be the best version of yourself that you can. You get it .
