A Call For Humor!

Fun fact: I attended elementary school (in Poland 1973-80) openly carrying the obligatory knife. So did the rest of the boy scouts. Nothing bad ever happened.

In the absence of Flickcombs, we entertained ourselves by manufacturing Shuriken from mild steel in the metalwork shop. We case hardened the points and blacked and oiled them afterwards. I attended a Technical High School, so we had very good engineering facilities, for example, we had a 6 axis CNC milling machine which I think would have been rare to find in a school in the early 80's.
 
These were banned in Poland IIRC (which didn't mean nobody had them).
Esp. in the "wild 90s" and later, with rather minimal "statehood", everybody was carrying something. I had (legally) a Hungarian 9mm "FEG" (Browning copycat).
I could tell you some stuff from these times, but better not, could get me deleted, and no one would believe it either:eek:

Longest joke I've seen without a punchline.
The picture was the joke.

The long text just provided context and the humorous subjective audio language which ASR cannot measure.

I enjoy Tape-Op, but they are vendor supported so all equipment is golden. They do nice interviews of people working in the industry, and they had a DIY orientation when they started. The founder of Tape-Op, I have met, broke a lot of bands, including recording Elliot Smith who drywalled the first studio.
