Ever get a free nose piercing because you were walking behind someone casting?

Not a nose, but I’ve been snagged a time or two.

The shark babe, has such teeth dear, and it shows them pearly white… :musical_score::notes:

For a couple years I kept burying my fly in my shoulder. Was a little slow & sloppy on my back cast.

Used to do this at karaoke in Okinawa

I did not know what that was. Jesus, that looks horrifying, I hope you haven’t had any lasting issues, especially with a joint- all mine were in fleshy parts, except one that hit the hip bone, but that was just a paring knife.

I kind of want one of those wrenches for my knife roll now.

People in my industry keep all kinds of weird shit in there. I know you’re not using that kbar or divers knife to peel potatoes.

I don’t use the knife I got stabbed with for food. It feels like cannabilism.

It was in 6th grade. Missed a lot of school but zero issues. Scar is still visible. It’s an Ironworker tool, btw.

I actually have yet to get a K Bar. I’ll show you the knife I carried in OIF soon. Gotta dig it up. I have a Benchmade with blood in the blood groove from an incident at work when I was a cop still.

Yeah, I remember you posted a picture of that a while back.

Got this at a bazaar in Calcutta

We must be the psychos since my thoughts were ā€œThat wouldn’t hurt that bad,ā€ ā€œYou were in India, what the fuck did you expect,ā€ ā€œI’m glad he saved it, that’s cool,ā€ ā€œI should share the story about me sticking a dude with a syringe full of water and leaving it there while he panicked, since that means I win this rediculous reverse dick-measuring contest I made up in my head.ā€

Maybe it’s time to read the bible, but I don’t have a porch.

Low-key reference to The Royal Tenenbaums

That almost seems like a pun considering the subject.

Cal. Cutta. :upside_down_face:

Ah. I’ve never seen it.

Do yourself a favor. You’ll know the scene right away. Hilarious movie.

You can certainly turn negative thoughts into more positive ones. I doubt you have just two seconds to do so.

The author David Pollay turned this idea into a simple and successful book The Law Of The Garbage Truck, rated much higher on Amazon (4.7/5) than Goodreads (3.7/5).

Twenty years ago, while riding in the back of a New York City taxicab, syndicated columnist… David Pollay had an awakening… By letting other people’s ā€œgarbageā€ - their negativity - simply ā€œpass by,ā€ and not dumping garbage on others, you can become happier and more successful, both personally and professionally. Since David published the ā€œLawā€œ in his newspaper column three years ago, more than 1,000 blogs have posted it, millions more have read it… All over the world people remember the focusing metaphor of the garbage truck for what can be achieved in life by not staking success and happiness on the behaviour of others.

Yeah. Thats postponement of happiness.

A lot of people live in the fallacious belief that they will be happy if [i could bench press #, my wife would xyz…] or that they will be happy when [get that raise/promotion, degree, hell freezes over…].

When a lot of times the only real impedance to their happiness is that they think its an outside object, accomplishment, or other persons job. It’s their job, it starts within, and usually comes from a place of gratitude.

I think it’s a difference in values. Some people want to build a life while some want to live a life.
