Got flight sim. 2004 from my baby girl ( who's 36 ). So if any of you guys see a plane flying around its me.
The man of steel said that
Mum "It's a big present so it will be for your birthday and christmas"
Me "But our terry got a bike as well"
Mum "yes, but yours is a big bike"
Me "Mum, I'm 6 not stupid"
Thats how it went from what i can remember. I also seem to get a lot of birthday cards with the Xmas bit tipexed out. My GF has to get a card around November when there is still good selection still available. My brother (Terry) has 2 birthdays, one on new years eve (day he was born) and one 18th August, his designated going out and getting pissed birthday. He feels he is being ripped off at new year as he would be out on the piss anyway.

Some day I'll be rich and famous for inventing a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.
Ok, so you guys are recommending that I upgrade from my collection of Swiss Army Knives (I have 5) - to one of these leatherman units ... OK - but which <A HREF="http://www.leatherman.com/products/tools/default.asp" target="_new">one</A>?

The reason everyone got one, besides the fact that they're practical, is that you can get them online cheap.
I prefer my swiss army knife since leathermans are much heavier. If it's just something you have in the tool box that's one thing but if I'm out camping or travelling I use a swiss army knife.

the wave is the only one to consider. it has a seraded blade that is very durable, a straight blade, a file that is very strong, and a saw that you can actually saw things with. those are all in the handle, you dont have to open the whole thing up to get them out, they are on the outside. and the outside blades have thumb holes so you can easily open the blade with one hand, very handy. especialy in a knife fight.

Now that's what I wanted to hear ...

I'm glad I carry a sword instead of a knife though. It's made winning these "knife fights" very easy especially considering how common they are.

Leatherman
Brings up a story from 2 years ago.
Brother got Leatherman for Xmas = 7 AM Xmas morning
Brother upon inspecting Leatherman cuts finger deep to the bone = 7:05 AM Xmas morning
Brother enters hospital to be seen by DR. 7:45 AM Xmas Morning
Brother is seen by DR = 11:45 AM Xmas morning
Brother stitched up by DR = 4:20 AM Xmas morning / evening
Brother returns home = 6 PM Xmas evening
Wife takes Leatherman away from Brother to store away for safe keeping (Brother didn't really know how to use it?) = 6:05 PM Xmas evening
Brother eats Xmas turkey that is so far over done, it isn't funny & says nothing = 7:30 PM Xmas evening
Moral: Make sure that the idiot getting the Leatherman knows they're sharp right out of the box, IMO
Dazzle them with Brilliance, or Baffle them with BS!
heh this is what i carry on me all the time.
its really good for a knife fight.

Stun gun? Why bother you have to TOUCH them with that, I personally prefer a taser and if its a serious altercation a 10 gauge shotgun is definetly the weapon of choice.
I've personally done a good bit of hunting and know quite a bit about most guns that are useable as hunting weapons, but after shooting the 10 gauge shotgun I decided I never wanted to shoot the 8 gauge boatmountable duck shotgun my dad had while we still owned the farm (fire into the flock of docks...) a 10 gauge just kicks pretty damn hard... but on the other hand not nearly as hard as a your typical elephant gun, my father sighted one in for a friend of his (why he needed an elephant gun I have no idea... I want to say a .570 caliber, but I'm not sure that is right anymore, this was quite a few years back), it took my father 9 shots and left his shoulder entirely black and blue... only took one shot to make me decide I wouldn't be hunting elephants. ever.
Several times shooting the 10 gauge deer canon, and I decided I'd never even attempt the 8 gauge outside of it's mount.

Fine. No stun gun. I'm bringing a harpoon.

The wave for sure. Hehe, was the first boyscout in the troop w/ a wave, and pretty soon the entire troop had one. It's sickly sharp and durable and useful...I use it anywhere I need a knife, screwdriver, small scissors, something to jam sh!t open w/, etc. The seraded edge cuts thru rope like nothing else and I can make u a very nice fillet
O yeah, be sure that if u get sand or other crud in there to clean it out and oiling from time to time helps a lot...else it'll become impossible to open.
