A Call For Humor!

That's bogus. Here in the wild west of Canada open carry is the law. If you have the guts to carry a sword fly at it....lol. I see doods carrying bowies, nordic fishing knives, axes, folders etc.

Not in court it isn't. I had a similar issue. Called to Federal jury duty. Forgot about my Victoriknox pocket knife. They let me put it in a sealed envelope with the security desk warning me not to come back a 2nd time with it. After sign in I was shown the kitchen area which included a large set of carving knives in a wooden block. Yeah, my 3 inch pocket knife with screw driver and hole punch was a real danger in the courthouse alright. Who knows what I might have McGuyvered with it. Without it I was reduced to plotting my evil using 7, 8 or 10 inch Santoku bladed knives.

I bought a $35 diamond hone and I went at the SOG keychain knife that I EDC and at the kitchen chef's knife and both are now formidable blades. They both have points and can slash, cut and slice very effectively.

I'd like to see Errol Flynn wielding one of these.

It could be his EDC emergency folder for last call. This is bad ass.... lol.

Keys back then were bigger. A knife version could have a longer blade.

It worries me that Dr Strangelove is still very relevant these days

How? Dr. Strangelove (1964) was made 2 years after the Cuban missile crisis (1962) and the threat of nuclear annihilation was very real. These days the only countries with enough nukes to flatten the USA are China and Russia and I don't think either of them would do so. Russia probably lacks the capability, and China has no economic incentive because they NEED the USA.

Dr. Strangelove has been relevant since WW2 and will always be until the sun stops shining. Best timeless movie ever! All Americans should have to watch it a few times to really understand it. As I am much more intelligent in the Defense world than most, it applies to today big time. If I told everyone on here how much money was being wasted to be ready for a fictional enemy that will never exist you would be shocked. Here is just a quick one. Some idiot at the Pentagon with General stars wanted to stand up a moon protection force to keep us from being attacked from the moon by either Russia or China. Plum crazy!

We are not in a video game or a sci-fi movie.
One or two, with the complications of the aftermath, is enough to send any target back to dark ages.

I'm not sure whether this is an example of good welding skills, or good Photoshop skills.

So, if it is the former... that is a welder who deserves fear and/or respect in (at least) equal portions.

A Welder who is worthy of the praise “Able to weld anything including the crack of Dawn!”

FWIW, I heard he had an accident at work recently...

I'm trying to imagine what bizarre shape it actually has if the picture is done with forced perspective

I am thinking photoshop, it's too perfect -- but I could be wrong
