Weekend Open Thread: Go West Edition

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, pull up a chair for everybody’s favorite Friday night feature post, the KNIFE Magazine Weekend Open Thread.

I don’t have much a of theme for this week, instead the title refers to the fact that Monday morning my daughter and I are hopping on a series of planes, with the destination being Darby, Montana.

Ethan Becker, or “Uncle Ethan” as my daughter calls him, has been living out there on a friend’s ranch since he moved from the Knoxville area several years ago. Ironically, he is headed for Knoxville shortly after we leave to visit friends before Blade Show.

With “Uncle E” Circa 2017

 

This means that I will likely not have an Open Thread next week, though I will be able to keep up with the newsfeed. Thanks to “Sir Elon of Musk”…

So that means that I am going to put up this week’s Event Calendar,

Solvang Custom Knife Show

NCCA Extravaganza Knife Show

And would put up the next two weeks, except that there are now shows on 5/12. It is Mother’s Day Weekend. There is one show next weekend though…

Palmetto Cutlery Club Knife Show

(don’t worry about the 2019 display date)

Mark is at the Solvang Show. We will cross paths Monday as he heads home and I head west.

Alright, time to get back to the memes.

Related, and true…

Happened twice actually. Just rubbed a little dirt in it. True Story.

No ducking ship!

Job security.

Better than Gand-ALF…

They might charge you with making custard.

It is a shame…

Oh no! Not Thomas too…

He got clean, but it messed up his teeth…

Rooftop Koreans are the best Koreans…

Be ungovernable…

Just don’t go too far.

Or the Alphabet Boys are gonna get you.

Not all of them are bad though…

Which goes to show…

True…

Also true…

This one was clever…

as was this, if you know Latin…

“Don’t trust what you read on the internet” – Abraham Lincoln

You can’t make this up…

Never piss off the DM…

 

If you do, they won’t give you any loot, like the B’YondEDC Kleever. There were 19 comments last week…

And the person who needs to thank Random.org…

…is Jason K. Congrats brother. Glad to have you back.

The prize for our next drawing, in two weeks, is for a B’YondEDC Eurus flipper. It is a fun one to play with. Really snappy. I like the micarta as well. It feels really warm in the hand.

Other than the fact that this is going to run for two weeks, the usual rules apply – 5 comments or replies on this post are your entries, and if you are new to the blog, your comments will be held in moderation until I can approve the first ones. After that you are good to go.

Consider this your invitation to comment…

Just not an invitation in.

Foiled by grammar.

He’s only there for display.

Leave him alone, he just got off work in the vending machine.

At least the raccoon has a job.

Things would be so much easier if that were how real estate transactions took place.

 

My daughter refuses to let me shave. For good reason.

And since we are on this meme template, one of my favorites, it seems like a good time to wrap things up. As always, I hope that you find some of these memes sharable.

 

I let you know when it is a homebrewed meme.

Have a good week everybody. I know that I will.
