Thank you 0002 and 0003 for pointing out this nigh unforgivable rookie mistake. It was corrected just now and I sincerely hope I didn't cause any confusion. Rest assured I bathe on a regular basis and apart from a splash of Davidoff have no odors on me. Having not worn shoes but sandals for over half a decade and enforcing strict foot hygiene on myself, no sock odors either I assure you most noble ones. Allow me to make amends by cordially inviting all of you to my not so picturesque but rather charming Carnaval village. Some of the locals can be a lil rough around the edges but the vast majority are good hardworking folk. Food and drink will be provided to your heart's content and there are several establishments nearby in case some of you feel the urge to venture out. All 48 of us in the living room would be a tight fit but we'll make it work.

Faithfully at your service,

Thanks Max! I look forward to being one of the 48 in your living room! Sounds like fun! Can I bring my Canadian girlfriend?

Happy to oblige 0003 and by all means bring your girlfriends, Canadian or otherwise. I'm confident my imaginary soulmate will have materialized by then. So far the record stands at 33 and it was getting quite cozy.

Even though I may or may not have indulged in one or more adult beverages at the time, I would like to reassure you all that the invitation stands. On a separate note, has anyone heard from the great 0001 for he hasn't checked in lately? I hope he's in good health doing great. May he keep his socks dry and his throat warm with overproof whiskey.

It is worrysome. The Boss hasn't posted in over 20 days. Hopefully this will not invoke a constitutional crisis or -- egads -- a coup de etat! We can all hope that he is merely on one of his notorious benders. Thankfully, on reviewing our constitution, I see it puts #0002 in charge if #0001 is indisposed. Then, oddly, the constitution skips #0003 and goes directly to #0004. HEY...what the heck? When was that voted on? Are you guys having meetings and "forgetting" to invite me...again? Is this because of my preferred pronouns?

Ahhh ha ! More rumors to squash . 0001 has been very busy overseeing the Iguana population crisis in Florida , and controlling the rise of polka dot Flamingos in front yards across the state ! Sometimes he is stretched thin and I can’t imagine how he has time to keep Bears out of his backyard . We must be patient and self reliant. 0002

Listen, we cannot go all Lord of the Flies in his absence. We have to keep it together. And would someone please for the love of humanity put the toilet seat back down after the meetings.

Easy for you to say, Mr. So-Psychologically-Healthy-and-Hygenic.

I'm about to go full-bore linear lord-of-the-flies postal if #0001 doesn't post soon. I'll be marching in circles inside the nearest shopping mall, wearing my undies on my head, and chanting 'Le Roi est Mort! Vive Le Roi!'

Of course, it doesn't take much to set me off. I did the same when my last mule from Spyderco showed up a day late.

So worked up that I double tapped. I need to drink a couple of cups of coffee to calm down.

#0004 Gernot videos. 😂😂😂😂

Where is Gernot?? He hasn't chimed in in way too long here. Hold on...


I don't think edge to handle ratios matter at all. Give me a thick, titanium heavyweight 2.5" blade with a 5" handle. Get that tip away from the butt end. Give it a choil too. Make sure it has the safest lock around, the compression lock.

Man, you're going to make poor Gernot choke on his yodel. You're gonna ice his edelweiss. You're gonna starch his lederhosen.
