Old and Young Aliens

---

Two aliens landed in the Arizona desert near a gas station that's closed for the night.
They approach one of the gas pumps and the younger alien addressed it saying,
''Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Take us to your leader."
The gas pump, of course, doesn't respond.
The young alien became angry at the lack of response.
The older alien says, 'I'd calm down if I were you.'

The young alien ignores the warning and repeats his greeting. Again, there's no response.
Annoyed by what he perceived to be the pump's haughty attitude, he draws his ray gun and says impatiently,
"Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Do not ignore us this way! Take us to your leader or I will fire!"

The older alien again warns his comrade saying, "You probably don't want to do that!"
" I really don't think you should make him mad."
"Rubbish," replies the cocky, young alien. He aims his weapon at the pump and opens fire.

There's a huge explosion. A massive fireball roars towards them and blows the younger alien
off his feet and deposits him a burnt, smoking mess in a cactus patch.
He refocused his three eyes, straightens his bent antenna, and looks at the older,
wiser alien who was standing over him shaking his big, green head.

"He damn near killed me! How did you know he was so dangerous?"
The older alien leans over, places a friendly feeler on his crispy friend and replies,
"If there's one thing I've learned during my intergalactic travels,
you don't want to mess with a guy who can loop
his pen*s over his shoulder twice and then stick it in his ear."

It got really dark here during the eclipse.
There was a widespread cloud cover but we got a few brief breaks and eventually saw the totality for a few seconds.
Very impressive to see it in person - from our back yard:

I've two of those from Cold Steel.
One is Japanese San Mia III triple layered stainless steel.
Also have a carbon steel beater version of the same...

Got about 85% eclipse from our yard. Looked like twilight at 1:30 pm today. Too cool.

How many have ordered custom knives?
I never have, but recently discovered a custom knife maker, about 35 minutes away. He has a web site, and I really like this model, different scales and pins are available.

It comes with a leather Scabbard, in an email I mentioned that I did not need the scabbard, because I was going to use it as a kitchen knife, I don't care for the large Chef's knifes. He sent me a photo of a Smaller 5" chef's knife in AEB-L stainless. Called the Petty Chef. Alleged to be sharper than a Mother-in-law's tongue. I ordered one, will be a few weeks. I had never encountered AEB-L Stainless before, supposed to have been developed in Northern Europe for razor blades. From what I have read, it is somewhat of a Unicorn Knife steel. Easy to sharpen AND good edge retention. Review to follow upon receipt.
