Happy New Year People of the Knife.
It is off to an inauspicious start for sure.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the people in New Orleans in particular. There is not much funny, other than eye rolling at the media response to a terrorist attack.
The Vegas Cybertruck explosion seems to be an elaborate suicide with oddly coincidental timing to the New Orleans attack.
Stay safe out there everyone. Things are nuts right now.
The physics of the explosion being contained by the cybertruck is wild. But enough about that. How was everyone’s New Years?
Kinda like an Irish Blessing on steroids…
Sometimes the best addition is subtraction.
But I remain optimistic…
Sod the Yankees.
No Knife Shows this week. There is nothing KNIFE Magazine Events Calendar until SHOT Show, and nothing public until the Gator Show January 31.
Kinda obvious what the musical guest is this week…
I am a fan of old U2. Nothing after Vertigo I don’t think. Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum were their peak. If you are at all someone who enjoys music, you owe it to yourself to watch the video above. I find it really moving.
And yes, Bono has become insufferable.
I am going to assume that folks are not as interested in the College Football Playoffs as I am, given my Buckeyes are halfway through the gauntlet.
Seriously. The Notre Dame/Catholic hate down here is real.
Texas in Dallas. That shouldn’t be a hostile environment at all.
There are some salty people out there.
Especially the SEC, which has lost its place at the top, now that everyone can pay players.
The SEC has been overrated for years. Like most conferences, they have 3-4 elite teams, and the rest are no different than any other conference.
Kirk Herbstreit hardest hit…
The Skunk Weasels ended the season strong…
which they let you know at every turn.
8-5 is something to be proud of, I guess.
I am a Browns fan, we just went 3-14.
Our QB play is exceptional.
But the Cavs have been doing alright…
Cleveland Baseball team is dead to me. SO we move on to this week’s drawing.
Congrats to Cmeat. I didn’t even draw Hocky first this time.
Next week’s drawing will be for a CRKT Teuto
It’s a Voxneas design, and really snappy. I like the action.
Usual rules apply, up to 5 comments or replies are your entries, and if you are a new commenter, your entries count double in next week’s drawing. Your first comments will be held in moderation until I can approve them.
Good luck everyone, and as always, thank you to CRKT for sponsoring the WOT.
Here are the non-themed memes of the week…
I was unaware those were a thing, but…ouch.
Its a shame
DnD humor.
Don’t forget to tip your waitress.
I am 1.5 Danny Devitos high.
.
The best humor is rooted in truth.
We used to be a proper country.
It wasn’t me…
You can’t prove anything.
It’s complicated.
The Schwartz is strong in this one.
h/t Jim Cobb for that one.
Should be my Mantra.
You know who is living an actual nightmare? The Israeli hostages, who have been held for 454 days.

And this week, the “Intifada” was globalized.
Israel has been on the front lines of this fight, and I have dedicated a portion of the WOT each week to voice my support for Israel, and to call for the return of the hostages. Bring them home now.
As there is seldom a good segue back, once again, our musical guest – U2…
I am not a big fan of “rockumentaries” or concert DVDs. I think they usually fail to capture the experience. But there are few special moments, the two best being the videos I shared. The history in that studio is so cool.
It’d be a lot cooler if you did.
Not enough cheese actually.
Peopling is hard
Have a good weekend everyone.
‘Merica.
Go Bucks! Beat Texas.
