Knife build / canoetripping.net fund raiser thread.

Indeed, too sick to type, but I can post a picture of my re-butt-al and win the internet forever, but would probably be banned and never win the Ripster, so you guys are saved, for now.


Thanks Mem for being considerate. I'm scarred by Brads Glitter beard link. I'm afraid after seeing your rebuttal I would be forced to give up eating ham forever.
 
Now if you could photoshop a Chum funeral pyre...But it would be too sad to lose a Chum that way (get the pun?!)

Get well mem. I had the man cold. It lasted for a month. It came with lung infections and the whole shebang. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, least of all a friend. But you're still not gonna win the knife. Nice try playing the sympathy card. It nearly worked.
 
As I lay here, withering away from some despicable disease (my wife says it's man cold, but my internet research has led me to believe that it is EBOLA), the slings and arrows of a million jealous Ripster wearing wanna-be's merely makes my dried up and cracked lips bleed as I smile with compassion, thinking about when the Ebola finally finishes me, and they are lowering me into the ground, the Ripster will be going with me, forever safe from the clutches of the clambering canoetripping crowd. Alas, me and Ripster for eternity!

What a waste of a good knife to finish buried in the ground before it could ever be use!! Mem, you should think of getting out of the draw, you will be missed, but some one has to get the knife to use in your memories!! Be well my friend, but let the knife have a real life cutting into real meat, moose not spam!!
 
Well red canoe, it looks like Mem pulled through and survived his brush with death. I'd like to think it was dreams of using the Ripster that sustained him in his dark hours.

Are you sure of that, it's been a full 24hrs w/o a post from him here!! I still have hope he decided to withdraw from the raffle;)
 
Well, it's 4 AM, and I have risen from my death bed to assure you gentlemen that I am back! Apparently my wife was right, the type of ebola I had was called the "Man Cold", and I am feeling much better. Rippy was right, in the depths of my fever, it was the Ripster that called out to me, it's MIRROR finish flashing in the dark like a beacon of salvation, pulling me back from that bright tunnel that beckoned me to the other side. Such a magical knife, its legend lives on from the Chipawa on down to a big lake they call Gitche Gumi. The Ripster they say never gives up her dead when the Man Colds of December come calling!

OK,,,,,,,ummm,,,, oh well. But the Viking funeral was going to be so cool. I may be a pyro. I think I'll go hang out in the light my fire thread awhile.
 
Hope your feeling better Memaquay, all that slab bacon hanging in meat lockers across northern Ontario is waiting for you. A new knife for early morning carving's would be nice, lots of options for you down at the Geraldton Dollar Store.

Gordon Lightfoot forgives you ripping off his lyrics memequay. Speaking of rips, that knife still hasn't been polished yet. There's still time for you to fully recover and come on over to the satin side.
""Lots of options for you down at the Geraldton Dollar Store."" Good one Robin.
 
Mem, glad you're back on your feet... Some time man's cold is as bad as Ebola for sure, I don't think women understand the pain we struggle with wile having a good cold, good for you to survive!
 
Memaquay is a Swami of some sort; he appears to be sitting with no visible means of support.

I think the whole thing is Photoshopped to make him look more manly than he really is. The original was him sitting at a booth in Tim Horton's trying to slice a bagel with a plastic butter knife.

I'll blame it on the cold medication, but Gordon Lightfoot possessed me at lunchtime. Sing this to the tune of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

The Wreck of the Ripster Ripzgerald

The Legend lives on from the Chippewa down
Of the big knife they call Rippy’s Ripster
The knife it is said, it could cut off the head
Of an urban lumber sexual hipster
With a strong shiny blade, for cutting meat she was made
She’ll have no truck with vegetarianism
That good knife and true was a bone to be chewed
When the canoetripping trippers started bidding

First on the plate to make sure he wasn’t late
Came the journalistic word-smith called Odyssey
With quick repartee and some verse with to play
He boldly sliced away at the humble Memaquay
Canotrouge piled on like a fifty mile an hour wind
Soon joined by the Robins and Mihunies.
Old Memaquay knew as the blowhard gusts continued
That the Ripster would be mirror like and sunny!

But then stepped in the giant of deception
That Canyon Fairy known as McCrea
With glitter and glue and some kiddy’s toys too
He sent Memaquay a running away
That old leather thong he thought long gone
Came back through McCrea for to haunt him
And with one gasp of pain, the Plaid Prancer gave in
And like a little girl away he went runnin’

Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When Ebola turns the minutes to hours
The wives they all say it’s a Man Cold anyway
But what do they know when they’re not sufferin’
Old Ripster hold true, I’m gonna recover too
The thought of your shiny blade keeps me breathin’.
And all that remains are the faces and the names
Of the canoetrippers who stomped on me when I was heal’n.

In the Dollar Store-o in old Geraldtown-o
There’s a big display of canned lunch meat called Spam
Old Spam it is said is made up of the dead
But Memaquay ain’t too fussy about the eatin’.
With old Ripster by his side, the Spam it will slide
In evenly cut greasy byproduct slices
Down into his gut with an audible thud
The spam will wiggle like long tailed mices

The Legend lives on from the Chippewa down
Of the big knife they call Rippy’s Ripster
It’s shiny mirror blade will soon be made
And won by the one they call Mem-a-quay!

Nice word-smithing, funny. Great knife smithing by Rippy too, goes without saying. Check is in the mail.
 
Wow! This thread is the best. I'm scared of Mem now, he's obviously risen from the dead or he's some kind of ghostly pied piper floating around while eating canned meat. He's much too powerful to have the knife now.
 
Ok Rippy, just give it to Mem:(, the guy, even half dead can comme up with some thing like that, he is a genius!! dang it should be great sharing camp fires with him!!
