Knife build / canoetripping.net fund raiser thread.
- Thread starter Rippy
- Start date
Jim, is this some sort of ploy to get us back on topic? I am meaning to discuss heat treating soon, but I think I will wait till I have some pictures to go with the discussion. Should happen this weekend. Glad you are interested. Dave
On topic and off topic this is a great thread. The actual knife build is fantastic and the rest is a lot of fun too. Too bad that when I win the ripster it all has to end.
Jim is gonna win a knife. BWCA is gonna win a knife. Canotrouge is gonna win a knife. Memequay is still pining for a knife.
Jeepers Rippy, how many other knives are you making besides my winning knife?!

Alas, the School Board sent me to a Spam treatment program after some kids caught me mainlining liquified spam in the back of the science room. I tried to explain to them that there was a big difference between processed luncheon meat and heroin, but you know how these politically correct Liberals think now-a-days. They always know what's best for you, so off to the Spamararium I went. I only lasted a couple of days there before I slipped up and snorted some PPP (Processed Pig Parts) and they kicked me out. These days I try to keep my Spam/Klik use to weekends only, and canoetrips, and definitely don't use it around the kids. last night my nephew came into the tent when I was cooking up that batch of PPP, and he ran away screaming, claiming he couldn't get the fetid stench out of his clothes. In the local vicinity, I'm known as the best Spam cook around, and other addicts often buy my special purple mix, which they claim immediately quenches their hunger, and is 99% pure by-products, with a double dose of lips, and 50% less peckers.
My last counselling session got to the root of my problems. As a young Canadian boy, the only TV station we had was CBC, with endless re-runs of Monty Python's Flying Circus. We Canadians always loved Brit humour, or at least pretended to, so that we wouldn't offend the Queen. The Spamchiatrist pulled this little jem out of my subconscious, which really goes a long way to helping my recovery, or at least explaining my addiction.

Stay Strong my fellow Spam-heads!
Thanks for the invite Rob. I was just gonna keep dropping shameless hints till you caved.
The guest tent sounds good to me. So does the fancy food! But we'll probably hang out at home doing our best to break all our past New Years resolutions at one go.

This seems like one of those nature vrs nurture things. Which came first the chicken or the spam? Oh oh, spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam. Will you be having the spam eggs bacon and spam? I think I'm being sucked into the black hole of spam.
I think it should be a community knife that gets passed all over the world to the different members and each one gets to take Ripster on a trip and post pictures of all they fun they had with him. I don't care where I'm at in line as long as it's before Mem defiles it with Klick and his muddy underwear.
Alan
Don't worry Alan, if it becomes a community knife you can be the first to cut Mem out of his dirty underwear.
Kidding aside, sending the knife around for trips sounds like a great idea. Unless I win of course. Then you all can jog on.

Ha ha, you know what's even funnier? Having learned Cantonese using the Roseta Stone, I was able to translate the subtitles. They weren't even close! When the vikings were singing Spam Spam Spam Spam the subtitles were saying "Duck feet and beaks" over and over again.
I was seriously thinking maybe this knife goes to a different owner each year and the sheath gets marked with the year and the caretakers initials.
Let's not get too carried away with this idea yet. First we need to wait until we're sure Robin has cashed Mem's check. Then we can turn it into a community prize.
Alan
Lets see, there's 590 members, of course you could say only 124 are shown as active. So some may have to wait a hundred years or so for their turn. Besides, we can't change the game after people have already donated with the understanding they may "win" the knife.
Yeah I know, just wishful thinking on the very very very small chance that I don't win.
Think positive, not allot have posted that they are in. Small site and all, your odds in this contest are favorable. Dave

I go to work one day and can't keep up with this thread anymore... If I win the knife, I'm sorry, but it stays with me way to expensive and risky to ship stuff out of the Yukon

No worries Canotrouge, The Ripster is not going to be a time share.
