I am afraid to mess up the gold, but I will try to polish it. Haven't used her yet though.


Don't use metal polish. Just soap and water.
Nice set btw :thumbup1:

Thank you!



I don't know. I didn't know you ID the year on these.

Try polishing it with some Maas. It should come out really nice. Just work on the top of the case last and try to only polish the high spots to keep the look of depth in the design. :001_smile

Look at the number on the blade guard it will probably start with an "A" or "B".

Good point. For some reason, on my other computer the gold tone didn't come through.

Seeing as your death is imminent; dibs! :w00t:

[Intrigued]

It is "D236115".

Look at the "D" really close, with a loop if you have one. It's more likely to be a "B" which would put it at the year 1910 (http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/index.php/US_Gillette_Dating_Information) (the stamp letters tended to be more worn then the numbers. If it is a "D" it would be 1916.

I appreciate the moment of silence. Again, no hard feelings. It's an ABC after all. Of course, when your plan goes horribly awry, as it invariably would (I am Blackfoot after all), I would return the favour of the moment of silence out of respect. :cool:

Hey Doug, where'd your taillights go? It seems I cannot see them anymore!:tongue_sm

In other news, yesterday I received my new Macbook Air. Really a neat little machine. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but it really fit the bill well given my travel needs and the types of computing I'll use it for. The flash memory is a lot of fun. :001_smile

Oh, and morning all, evening Rob.

I've been away several days, much to long to do a catch-up "roll", but I have read the posts since I was here last, and ya'll have been very busy. Let me recap:

Blake:
- got promoted :thumbup:
- still wears no pants, like on "Planet 51" :001_huh:
- Posted some gratuitous razor porn, which was enjoyed by many :thumbup1:
- asked several of us to "testify" if he is "Shrek Green" - (Yes, he is indeed bright green, just like Shrek :thumbup1:)

Swampfox:
- Provided instructions for dealing with Zombies - (Thanks Ray :thumbup1:)
- Got 2 pairs of glasses (presumably Ray actually does have "4 eyes") which Intrigued thinks is "kewl" :thumbup1:

RichGem:
- Thanked Phil for "cleaning up the Clown House" by closing the threads that Ray was admittedly "post-doping" (Phil, you missed a few spots...)

GDCarrington:
- Provided a pic of Springs1 boxed up

Gollum83:
- Provided a much-needed English lesson (thanks for learnin' us that! :thumbup1:)
- Is "fixed" now (I thought that was only done on pets? :blink:)

Intrigued:
- Posted a dog fighting pic, which has earned her the spot as Michael Vick's replacement in the world of dog fighting :thumbup1:
- Was so inspired by Blake's gratuitous razor porn that she posted some gratuitous porn of her own :thumbup1:

Slaglerock:
- Resorted to posting nursery rhymes to get his post count above 18K (Congrats, Rob! :thumbup1:)
- Posted a pic of him and "Mrs. Slaglerock" (??? :blink:) in their swimming pool :blink:

Sol92258:
- Posted pics of an electric bathtub toy (a sure hit for Christmas :thumbup1:)
- Promoted alcohol as the answer (AA says a big "thanks!" :thumbup1:)

DFrancis:
- Of course, provided bacon (always welcome :thumbup1:)
- Also provided "chicken slaughtered whale farts" (mmm, not so welcome :blink:)

GFlanagan3:
- Used "bad" and "badness" in the same sentence with bacon (that's just not right! :blink:)

OldSaw:
- Is still truckin', and Mrs. OldSaw is still bloggin' :thumbup1:

Duckster and Gruder:
- Tried valiantly, but futiley, to keep the discussion on Fantasy Football

And the usual assortment of miscellaneous comments and pics about - squirrels, kids shaving, nukes, pantless fetishes, dungeon policies, insanity, "gray" drinking water, drinking toilet water, and ear mites singing and dancing.

I've been away several days, much to long to do a catch-up "roll", but I have read the posts since I was here last, and ya'll have been very busy. Let me recap:

Blake:
- got promoted :thumbup:
- still wears no pants, like on "Planet 51" :001_huh:
- Posted some gratuitous razor porn, which was enjoyed by many :thumbup1:
- asked several of us to "testify" if he is "Shrek Green" - (Yes, he is indeed bright green, just like Shrek :thumbup1:)

Swampfox:
- Provided instructions for dealing with Zombies - (Thanks Ray :thumbup1:)
- Got 2 pairs of glasses (presumably Ray actually does have "4 eyes") which Intrigued thinks is "kewl" :thumbup1:

RichGem:
- Thanked Phil for "cleaning up the Clown House" by closing the threads that Ray was admittedly "post-doping" (Phil, you missed a few spots...)

GDCarrington:
- Provided a pic of Springs1 boxed up

Gollum83:
- Provided a much-needed English lesson (thanks for learnin' us that! :thumbup1:)
- Is "fixed" now (I thought that was only done on pets? :blink:)

Intrigued:
- Posted a dog fighting pic, which has earned her the spot as Michael Vick's replacement in the world of dog fighting :thumbup1:
- Was so inspired by Blake's gratuitous razor porn that she posted some gratuitous porn of her own :thumbup1:

Slaglerock:
- Resorted to posting nursery rhymes to get his post count above 18K (Congrats, Rob! :thumbup1:)
- Posted a pic of him and "Mrs. Slaglerock" (??? :blink:) in their swimming pool :blink:

Sol92258:
- Posted pics of an electric bathtub toy (a sure hit for Christmas :thumbup1:)
- Promoted alcohol as the answer (AA says a big "thanks!" :thumbup1:)

DFrancis:
- Of course, provided bacon (always welcome :thumbup1:)
- Also provided "chicken slaughtered whale farts" (mmm, not so welcome :blink:)

GFlanagan3:
- Used "bad" and "badness" in the same sentence with bacon (that's just not right! :blink:)

OldSaw:
- Is still truckin', and Mrs. OldSaw is still bloggin' :thumbup1:

Duckster and Gruder:
- Tried valiantly, but futiley, to keep the discussion on Fantasy Football

And the usual assortment of miscellaneous comments and pics about - squirrels, kids shaving, nukes, pantless fetishes, dungeon policies, insanity, "gray" drinking water, drinking toilet water, and ear mites singing and dancing.

I think that about covers the last few days? I missed ya'll! :001_cool:

That has to be one the most awesome posts ever! :thumbup1::thumbup1::thumbup1::thumbup1:


You know how asparagus makes your pee smell funny? Apparently it affects guys differently to girls...
Wiiiieeeerd.

:blink::blink::blink::blink: I am not even going to ask how you know this......:blink::blink::blink:


Technically a mess-hall acquisition but i though you guys would appreciate it more. SWMBO just got this.

Okay, my TAT thread catch-up summary post was really just getting ready for this inevitable new rule:

Clown House TAT thread posting limit: Members may only post once in the Clown House "TAT" thread per calendar month. Each post is limited to five humorous items (or groups of humorous items posted as a package). A new post in the Clown House TAT thread (the next month) may not be posted until a member's prior TAT thread post has resulted in someone responding with LOL, ROTFL, JSCOMCM, or some similar acronym, or until the TAT thread is marked "closed".

...just in case....

But, how would that work for me since I am forbidden from posting outside of this thread and it's spinoffs?

[Swampfox]

Ladies and gents, I have some horrible news. My sister, who just got married less than two weeks ago, lost her husband today. He had a massive heart attack this afternoon at work, and died before even reaching the hospital. They just got back Sunday night from their honeymoon, and she is in a lot of pain right now.

Her first husband died from cancer in August 2006. A couple of years ago she met a great man, who loved her and took good care of her, and now he is gone. It's madness to me, like some kind of bizarro world bent on punishing her. So, I beg you - if you believe in prayer, then please think of my sister over the next several days. If you don't believe in prayer, then please at least send positive thoughts her way.

The last time I saw him was the day after the wedding. They were dropping my sister's cat off at my mom's before leaving for the honeymoon. I remember him telling me, "I'm 52 years old [he was a good bit older than my sister], and for the first time in my life I'm happy. I have finally found happiness."

Thank you.

That's terrible news, Ray. We were just wishing you safe travels to and from the wedding. It's impossible to understand why something like this would happen, but we will certainly pray for peace and comfort for your sister and you and your family.

[Gruder]

Terribly sad, Ray. My prayers are with your sister and family. Thanks for letting us know. Phil. 4:13

[sol92258]

That is terrible news!
Would it be possible for me/us to get your sisters first name, if not here then in PM, to pray for her specifically by name? I know it's not necessary, the Spirit is able to make sense of our mumblings, but it helps me to in focusing when I do pray.

Man, I just can't imagine what she's feeling right now.

I'll send you a PM, and anyone else who wishes to know for this reason, let me know, and I will PM it to you as well.

Thanks, Jim, you have no idea how much this means to me, and and also thank you Randy and Chad for the kindness and thoughts.

Less than two weeks? Wow. Sorry to hear Ray.

Yes. He was in pretty good health as far as anyone knew. My sister had lunch with him this afternoon. He told her he didn't feel well, but thought he was OK, and was not in any kind of pain. Roughly two hours later at work, he has a massive heart attack and dies. It's just bizarre...it doesn't seem real at all.

[Swampfox]

Thanks. I have to check with my boss regarding the bereavement policy tomorrow. I'm not sure if in law's are covered. And I doubt any arrangements will be made until tomorrow at the earliest. He had 2 children from a previous marriage who live in that area of SC, but he has a brother and two sisters who live in Florida.

you know, I don't want this to sound cold or anything, but at least she got to have lunch with him today. Similar thing happened to my wife, her mom had been sick for years and years (15 years past what doctors gave her, in fact), and wasn't able to get out a lot, maybe 10-15 times a year she felt like going out to eat, or shopping, or visiting. She had a doctor's appointment in Longview, and wanted to go shopping with my wife, just for fun. They didn't get home til about 11:00 that night, had a great time. Wife commented it was the best time she'd had in years, and almost didn't go with her.
Then the next day....

All that just to say, that at some point, as sad as this time is for everyone, that will be one of those moments that she will look on as...not sure "special" is the word I'm looking for, treasured maybe? But you get the idea. For my wife, it's a bittersweet time, that at least she had the opportunity for that one more special moment, as hard as it is for her to think about it, she still cherishes that day.

I know what you mean, and I have thought about that several times. One of the many things that keep running through my head.

I have been talking back and forth with my youngest sister, and our sister is showing signs of shock (no big surprise) and it seems adrenaline is kicking in now and driving. His sisters have already come up from Florida and she is meeting them now.

[DFrancis]

So very sorry Ray, I'll say my round of prayers tonight for her.

[jakespoppy]

Is it true that two new "game" threads are going to be started, one in the Clown House and one outside the Clown House?

Supposedly, the Clown House thread will be called "In Before The Lock". I think the title is self-explanatory.

And the other thread outside the Clown House will be called "How Many Posts To The Clown House", again, the title being pretty self-explanatory.

It's probably just a rumor I start...er, heard. :huh:

Ladies and gents, I have some horrible news. My sister, who just got married less than two weeks ago, lost her husband today. He had a massive heart attack this afternoon at work, and died before even reaching the hospital. They just got back Sunday night from their honeymoon, and she is in a lot of pain right now.

Her first husband died from cancer in August 2006. A couple of years ago she met a great man, who loved her and took good care of her, and now he is gone.

Thank you.

Wow! This is absolutely horrible, Ray. I am very sorry.

In case you noticed, I wasn't around at all yesterday. It was a rather weird and messed up day. I went out for breakfast yesterday after work. I got home at 10:30 at night. Obviously, since I hadn't slept in two days, I didn't go to work last night. It is a crazy story best left untold. However, I played a lot of damage control. One friend will not likely realize or appreciate what I did for him. A new nurse now thinks I am a great guy and is promising to make it up to me some day. Another nurse I was already friends with now has the same misconception that I am a good guy. I am waiting to see if I actually saved things as well as I hoped.

Regardless of how things went, the one friend and I did have some fun in between it all so it was not an entire bust. Oddly, I didn't get too much flak from Mrs. Blackfoot but she was in bed by the time I got home. I expect to catch a lot of flak at work tonight though. I do not miss work very often. And, since one of the persons involved was there since he left earlier than I was able to, they know why I wasn't there. Kind of sucks since I was innocent in the whole thing, worked my butt off to help everyone out, and am the one that's going to be in trouble. No one was able to run damage control for me. :thumbdown Such is the lot of being a friend though.

Sad thing is, as crazy as it was, I really wouldn't consider it a completely bad day. :lol:

Trying to understand what was going on was sort of like me trying to understand what was happening in the TV show "Lost". But it sounds like you were trying to protect the innocent...or the not so innocent.

Too bad you get "burned" sometimes when you help out others. But it's good you still consider it a not completely bad day. But you may just be remembering the part where you were in a daze, wondering why you were napping on the floor and Mrs. Blackfoot was standing over you with a frying pan in her hand? :001_cool:

Another nurse I was already friends with now has the same misconception that I am a good guy. I am waiting to see if I actually saved things as well as I hoped.

Regardless of how things went, the one friend and I did have some fun in between it all so it was not an entire bust. Oddly, I didn't get too much flak from Mrs. Blackfoot but she was in bed by the time I got home. I expect to catch a lot of flak at work tonight though. I do not miss work very often. And, since one of the persons involved was there since he left earlier than I was able to, they know why I wasn't there. Kind of sucks since I was innocent in the whole thing, worked my butt off to help everyone out, and am the one that's going to be in trouble. No one was able to run damage control for me. :thumbdown Such is the lot of being a friend though.

Sad thing is, as crazy as it was, I really wouldn't consider it a completely bad day. :lol:

Well Blake, you just have to keep on being the good person we all grudgingly accept know you are :biggrin1:

Trying to understand what was going on was sort of like me trying to understand what was happening in the TV show "Lost". But it sounds like you were trying to protect the innocent...or the not so innocent.

Too bad you get "burned" sometimes when you help out others. But it's good you still consider it a not completely bad day. But you may just be remembering the part where you were in a daze, wondering why you were napping on the floor and Mrs. Blackfoot was standing over you with a frying pan in her hand? :001_cool:

3) Yes, I probably shouldn't have posted anything about it. However, TAT is a nice retreat where I feel comfortable getting things off my chest. It is therapeutic.

4) That is essentially the long and short of it. There were both innocent and not so innocent persons involved.

5) True, but it is worth it to an extent. You end up in that position more than a few times for the same person, maybe you need to replace that friend. But, as a rare occurrence, it is a sacrifice I am willing to make. Again, within reason.

The service will probably be Saturday, and it will be more of a 'memorial' service since it was his desire to be cremated. The weird part is they want me to do the service. Oddly enough, I am an ordained minister, but life and plans changed so I never really entered that field. I have asked myself several times over the last 5 years why I ever did that. Maybe this is it. I have no idea what I have got myself into, but I wish to be a help to my sister and his family, and that is their wish. Needless to say, i am scared. I've never done anything like this before.

My sister has now moved from a state of shock to anger. I expected this, and can't say I'd be any different if I was in a similar situation.

It is a big task, not sure if it would be helpful to share what he said to you about finally being happy, but it might. And I cannot begin to imagine what your sister is going though, I too would be devastated is I lost my wife. I wish you luck and my sincerest hopes to your sister that she is about to get through this.

That was a bad moment for me when I made that post. I am woefully inadequate for the task before me (and I'm not trying to sound eloquent or self-deprecating, either), but my sister and her in-laws feel that I am the best man for the job, and the way things are working out Some One else apparently thinks the same.

I had to bring a bottle home from Manhattan*. You can, however, find it on line if they'll deliver to your state. In theory, your local package store might be willing to order you some also. If you live near a "Little Brazil" or a Brazilian neighborhood, you should be able to find some too. Otherwise, keep your fingers crossed for the random liquor store.


* I can find it somewhat locally in CT, but only one or two brands which are not very good, imho.

Ky. men sentenced in bizarre beard-eating case

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky. (AP) -- Two central Kentucky men were sentenced to probation in connection with a bizarre case in which a third man said he was forced to eat his beard after an argument. The Lexington Herald-Leader reported 47-year-old Troy Holt and 51-year-old James Hill were sentenced Tuesday in Anderson Circuit Court.

Harvey Westmoreland of Lawrenceburg had said Holt cut off his beard and forced him to eat it while Hill allegedly held a sickle blade to Westmoreland and his brother during the May incident.

Holt could not say why he made Westmoreland eat his beard other than that things "got out of control" after some heavy drinking.

He added, "I ain't got no excuses about what I done."

Hill had no comment after sentencing.

As a condition of their sentences, neither Holt nor Hill is to have contact with Westmoreland.

Excellent summary, but I have no idea what you are talking about.

but I have no idea what you are talking about.

To be fair, do you ever have any idea what any of us are talking about?

I was right. When I showed up for work, they had an elaborate plot.They all parked somewhere different and met somewhere new. I sat in the break room for the entire time by myself. Second shift called me and told me where I was posted. I did not see anyone from nights until about halfway through my shift. Not even a text. But, I wasn't going to let them win. I played it off as nothing happened. Around 3:30 or 4:00, they started talking to me again because I outlasted them. It sucked but I won. :001_tt2:

I don't know, but somebody named "sol92258" does exactly the same thing. :tongue_sm
Man, I sure feel silly now. I've been wasting those TP rolls using them for kids toys like telescopes and binoculars and swords and light sabres (okay, we have to pretend there's a light, and we have to make the "zzzoooommm" noise).

I could have been selling these things on BST and making a killing! :001_cool:

You've never seen an out-dated potato? They're nasty! The smell is disgusting! My first "regular" job was when I was 12, working in a small, sole proprietor grocery store. One of my duties was going through the produce and removing any vegetables that were turning bad. The potatos were the worst. Yuch!
