Hey Everybody. You have survived another week, and it is time to reward yourself with memes, this weekend’s knife shows, and a knife giveaway, courtesy of CRKT.
I wasn’t sure what tonight’s theme was going to be, until I came across a couple of these, then started going looking for more.
They were not hard to find.
That is real I believe. If so, it is the OG meme of the genre.
Kids went back to school this week, which is probably a good thing since I have 2 bylined articles to write, as well as start working on this month’s Knife News column.
So many of these are really clever…
There are actually a lot of Start Wars ones.
That one, and this next one are the ones I found first.
Mentally ill seems to be a recurring sub-theme of these…
This one is harsh…
I’m no particular Charlize Theron fan, but she is much prettier than Kristen Stewart.
I have no idea which edition of Fast/Furious that is from. I haven’t seen a single one.
This isn’t a real movie…
…but it would make a great Netfilx series.
I will get to more memes in a minute, but first it is time to check in on the KNIFE Magazine Events Calendar.
Whelp…there are no shows this weekend, but the next two have events…
Central Kentucky Knife Club Knife Show
ABS Mid-America Bladesmithing Symposium & Knife Show
Gateway Area Knife Club Show
For tonight’s musical guest, I present the Cowboy Junkies.
Both songs I chose tonight are from the Trinity Session, their second album, which was recorded at Toronto’s Church of the Holy Trinity in 1987. I am not quite sure how they came up in conversation around the office yesterday, but Katie had never even heard of them. Mark mentioned that their version of Sweet Jane blows Lou Reed’s out of the water, an opinion that I independently held. As WEB Griffin said, “The mark of another man’s genius is how much you agree with him”.
Yusuf Dikeç was the theme of last week’s WOT. Given the nature of the meme above, it is worth mentioning that his Silver was in MIXED doubles, and Şevval İlayda Tarhan, his partner deserves a mention and recognition, even if she isn’t as memeable.
Kudos.
How many of you shot at the laughing dog?
The Chinese gymnast is only 15, and new to international competition. The Italians, are both veterans, and much less sheltered.
Technically, the 1500m freestyle would be a better picture (this was the 800m) because the same 3 swimmers swapped places, with American Bobby Finke taking gold. I didn’t come up with the joke, but I made the meme. I just couldn’t find the image from the 1500m.
I didn’t make the rules. Somewhat related, Lebron James should have married for genetics instead of his small-statured highschool sweetheart.
This blew my mind. Carl Lewis was one of the Olympians of my childhood.
Yikes.
A few more topical memes…
Sweet Meteor O’Death 2024.
Current? Or Evergreen?
Hahahahahaha. It is going to be a rough few years for the Cheaters up North.
And nothing could be more current than this…
Let’s celebrate with a knife drawing…
It looks like it is going to be another week before we have a winner. Zach S. came in with some last minute comments and is our latest token holder.
This CRKT M16 is a two token drawing, and we now have a group of 4 “token holders”. Zach joins Hocky, Del, and Mark R. in being 1 draw away from the win. Everyone else is still in it. Usual rules apply, up to 5 comments or replies are your entries, and if you are new to the blog your comments count extra, though they will be held in moderation until I can approve them.
Good luck everyone.
DnD humor leads off our non-themed memes.
File that one as “technically correct”. Just like the movie plot memes at the top.
Literally.
Get off my lawn.
That is really dumb, but I laughed.
This too…
Thank you. Don’t forget to try the veal.
Asking the important questions.
The dog is not amused.
I think I have to chose the stick.
I shared a similar one a couple of weeks ago…
I died once, and my mom made me walk it off.
Expensive parts.
What could go wrong?
This is pretty good…
Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner…
Found them.
Obviously.
Sarah Connor is not amused.
That is funny, but only slightly.
I have taken a short part of every WOT since October 7th to voice my support for the State of Israel in its fight against Hamas. There is no moral equivalence between a pluralistic liberal democracy and a genocidal islamofascist terror group, funded by Iran, and dedicated to the eradication of said democracy.
I am appalled by a western media that tries to make such an equivalence. And now we are a whisker away from a full blown second front in the north against Hezbollah. I pray for Israel, and support it doing what it must to ensure the safety of all its citizens, Jew, Christian, Muslim, Druze, and more. I look forward to the day that I can retire this part of the post, but I will not until the Hostages have been returned, and Israel declares the operation in Gaza to be finished.
Until then, I will listen to good music…
This happens all the time…
There are soooo many I can’t share.
Because sharing memes can be a hazardous vocation (Especially in Britain)

That isn’t funny, but it was a natural segue.
Help me make this happen…
I know what this Thread needs to wrap things up…
…MORE COWBELL!!
Have a great weekend everyone.
