Weekend Open Thread: Not Fit for Human Consumption

Howdy folks.

I am going to blaze through this since we are up against Press Day and I am way behind. But I don’t want to leave y’all hanging.

As far as Ivermectin, I don’t have a horse in that race….

Like everything these days it has to get political. Ivermectin is actually a human drug too. In fact a Nobel Prize in Medicine was given for its use as an antimalarial in Africa. There are legitimate trials for its use with Covid in Japan. Rand Paul is right when he says it is hatred for the Trump that is blocking research here.

That said, the people buying it at Tractor Supply are morons.

Only one Knife Show this weekend but it is an important one. The Usual Suspects Network (USN) Show is in Vegas.

Hopefully this wave crests before shows start cancelling again. The NRA Annual Meeting did.

Remember that you can always check the Events Calendar to see what shows are coming up.

HAve you heard what is happening in Australia? Holy Cow. They are forcing people to download an app, and when they text you you have 15 minutes to send them an geotagged selfie that you are where you are supposed to be. For crying out loud, 1984 was a cautionary tale, not an effing instruction manual.

Stuart B is the winner of the Knife Purveyor Cleaning kit. I will get it shipped out on Wednesday when I am back in the office.

This week we are back to our Vero Engineering giveaway. So far Hocky, Mark R., and Cmeat each have a token to their credit. First person to be drawn a second time wins the knife. 5 comments or replies are your entries. If you are new to the blog, your first comments will be held in moderation. Once I approve them you are good to post at anytime. You also have the option of forgoing the token, and getting a free Premium Membership, Goins Encyclopedia, Military Knife Reference Guide, or a backissue of your choice.

That one has been around a while.

This was the first time I have seen this one. It broke my brain.

Fishizzle.

 

OSHA? Never heard of her…

 

That is about all I have for tonight. Back to work. Again. Still.

Amen.  Have a good one all.
