Hey there People of the Knife…
Hope this finds you at the finish line of a productive or otherwise satisfying week, and ready to kick back and enjoy the weekly Meme-a-palooza that is the Weekend Open Thread. This one is so jam-packed, we’re going to need a bigger blog.
In case you missed it, a 3rd boat was sunk by Orcas off the Spanish coast.
It has made for some great memes, but a lot of them are “Eat the Rich” themed, but I am not a smelly communist, and left most of those on the cutting room floor.
Making fun of the Idiot Squisher Darwin Award winners is fair game. Most of us were amused not by the demise of the wealthy, rather the demise of the stupid.
Don’t be a boat hating Orca.
Kent Brockman said it best…
Be afraid…
They have armor…
No, I mean they have armor…
They have an air force too…
DnD reference…
The Orcas are the true victims…
It is hard out there for an Orca…
But they will inevitably win…
Or, to put it simply…
Changing gears, there is only one knife show this weekend…
Montana Knifemakers Association Custom Knife Show
then things are quiet for a couple of weeks until Blade Show.
Blade Show
It is wild that Blade is here already. It will be great to see friends I haven’t seen in a year or more.
There is more going on than knife shows these days…
I love baseball, but MLB does not get it.
Creepy, but not as creepy as this…
Has anyone politically self-immolated quite so completely as Kristi Noem?
We are equal opportunity offenders…
Both sides are a mess. That is why I am a Libertarian.
It seems like a lot longer than just a week ago when I saw the Northern Lights, in Tennessee…
Or even better…
Not everyone was so lucky…
In case you missed it…
2024 has been rough…
Did you see the portrait of King Charles? Yikes.

Seems like a logical segue to our first musical number…
Jack Black is a talented guy, so was his mom…
Speaking of Tenacious D…
Before I get to the random memes, it is knife drawing time…
Our drawing this week is an ongoing “two token” drawing for an American made CRKT Bugsy, designed by Kaila Cummings.
I would be giving token number 2 to Hocky, but he is not participating, so Stuart B. gets the token. He joins Steve T. as our first two “Token Holders”.
The way that a two token drawing works is that you need to be drawn twice to win. You get a token the first time you are drawn. The second time you win. Up to 5 comments or replies are your entries, and if you are new to the blog, your comments count double. Your first comments will be held in moderation until I can approve them. So please be patient, I will get to them.
Good luck everyone.
I enjoyed texting Del during the Vancouver hockey game Thursday night.
Speaking of Hockey…
Speaking of Hocky…
Hope you are well Brother.
Meanwhile, back on land…

Better than a Chemis-Tree…
I hope this clears things up…
Wait, what?…
If you are in High School you can use a Ouija Board while underage drinking.
Brave dog indeed. He could use a beer.
We miss you Jason K. If you read this, check in buddy. I wore my Solera t-shirt the other day.
Kids these days…
Or to put it another way…
I don’t know if there is hope for this generation…
They don’t know much about biology…
They suck at history too…
Story of my life…
Should have listened…
I am a source of constant embarrassment for her…
I had a 1990 Pontiac 6000 wagon with wood panels…
We should have seen it coming…
Sounds wicked…
Nightmare fuel…
He will give you a side quest…
You never know the battles someone else is fighting…
This should happen…
This should not…
What in the non-sweet tea drinking Hell is that?
Parenting is hard…
And as a dad, you need to chose a house…
I am Dewalt and Porter Cable, except the only Sawzall is a Milwaukee Sawzall, and I love mine.
From our friends at Preoocupied Territory…

I don’t have as much tonight on the Israel front. I have taken a moment every week since October 7th to use this platform to voice support for Israel as it seeks to defeat a genocidal terrorist group that is openly pledged to eradicate the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
I don’t have much to add tonight, and I don’t have anything particularly funny this week, especially as it was announced today that the dead bodies of three hostages, including Shani Louk , who had been last seen being dragged naked from the music festival.
I have exhausted my patience with those who support genocidal terrorism.
When it comes to our second musical number, I honestly didn’t have a second Tenacious D song to share. But Jack Black is one of the voices in the Bad Lip Reading videos, and this is the best one…
Birds are descended from Dinosaurs…
Poor T-Rex
Shut up and take my money…
Mmm…tacos…
You would miss me if I were gone…
Well, I should wrap this up. It has been a long one…
Always keep the high ground folks.
Have a great weekend.
