In a decades old episode of Magnum P.I., the femme-fatale uttered the line upon capture, “I tired reality once, and I found it vastly overrated”. I don’t know if I have felt that sentiment as strongly as I did this past week. After a week of surreality on the ranch in Montana, our flight into Knoxville was delayed. Thing 1 and I didn’t arrive home until after 1am, and we all had to be up at 6:30 to get ready for school. Reality bites. I had woken up woke up Sunday morning to this…

The memes this week aren’t particularly themed. By missing last week, I blew my chance to use Star Wars memes…
Or the Derby…
Or the passing of The Ringmaster…
Or the Coronation…
Bummer. So I am just going to mix photos of my trip in and amongst the memes.
There was literally elk poop just feet from our cabin…
Wildlife is amazing…
We didn’t see any moose though…
There are no Knife Shows this weekend. It is Mother’s Day.
Next weekend is the Western Reserve Collectors Assn show in Ohio:
Nothing the week after, then the Big One…
(For whatever reason the preview won’t come up)
I will probably skip the WOT the weekend of Blade Show. But that is a topic for later. I’d rather share pictures of baby goats…
Needless to say, my 14 year old daughter squee’d a bit.
Speaking of goats…
It would be a bad idea.

Clippy sucked.
We normally don’t share drug-related memes, but that one is pretty harmless. And funny.
That is not remotely funny. Someone should, but won’t, face consequences. Sucks to be you plebe. Consequences are for the little guy.
Better than a trip to Bass Pro Shop…
Brace yourselves…
Don’t forget to tip your waitress.
Sod the Metric System.
On a good day maybe.
Speaking of good days…Mark R. wins the B’yondEDC Eurus. I think he will enjoy that one. I have been playing with it as I procrastinate. I really like the action.
No action on next week’s prize, it’s a fixed blade.
The Browning Sage Creek (Small) is a no-frills small hunter or EDC fixed blade. Nice ergonomics. I’d use it.

Thing 1 got to spend a lot of time with her “Uncle Ethan”. I already shared the pictures of the cooking lessons.
But he also worked with her on defensive shooting.
And she got to go horseback riding, not with Ethan (I am sure he did a bunch in his younger days), but rather with one of the ranch hands. MA was a badass older lady, who startled Thing 1 a bit when she strapped on her pistol before they headed out.
As a former Idaho fishing guide, I rather expected it.
I sat in an Adirondack chair and read a book.
When I wasn’t staring off into the distance.
Madness. Reefer Madness.
I don’t blame him. He didn’t sign up for that.
I am not a cat person, though I have been the provider for 2 of them over the years.
Shadow, Mark’s cat does that to Katie. Shadow doesn’t like me much and stays on the other side of the office.
An engineer, not a mechanic.
Also…
Not a meme really, but I got a kick out of this…
That rocks.
I don’t think that is Groot’s kid. Shhh. Don’t tell him.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Don’t be Sara.
I wonder if they buried him in his red striped shirt.
Pretty much.
All of the time and labor saving devices and we are still in a dag-gum hurry.
I love meta-memes.
D&D memes are good too.
Remember…
Don’t get cocky kid…
Better than…
Poor guy lost a lot of lunch money as a kid.
I choose the latter.
Here at the WOT, we make fun of everyone.
But we all must come together…
That is truly frightening.
Like a knock at the door…
They should see what I leave unshared…
Have a good weekend Everybody.
