Good mercy its been a long time!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>



Greetings!



Ah, where to start.....Well, I must say that I missed you all very much.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Its like family here on the Forum, and I've felt like I haven't &quot;seen&quot; you guys in such a dreadful long time.(How you doing, ATE? I hope things are going better for you!)



I know, I know....I will explain my somewhat mysterious departure: If you all remember back a few months, there was that &quot;Mystry Poster&quot; (or Imposter?!<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) that had everyone going for a while. Well, to make a long story short, I felt that I acted out of line on that one and &quot;put my foot in my mouth&quot; so to speak. (Check out that thread and you'll see that I edited my reply.) Anyway, I thought that it would be a good time to take a short leave of the Forum and see what else Life had to offer. Of course Spring Term was just coming to a halt at the University, and so I had those marvelous finals to study up for. (<img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) But just as I was ready to jump back into the swing of things, the unique member KnifePunk joined the fray. (Er, Forum.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) I thought that it would settle down after a few days, and the storm would pass. But, the more I watched, the longer the event seemed to stretch on. It was quite a thing to watch, let me tell you!;P So I decided to just &quot;lurk&quot; for a while longer, and wait out the waves. To answer that question in your mind, yes, I was here &quot;lurking&quot; all along. (You couldn't pull me away from this Forum with a Silverado 1 ton! LOL.) I made a deal with myself that when the &quot;Noble Lady Kahz&quot; logged back on, then I would join the family once again. (Waving to Kahz <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>)



I have seen many interesting things during my time away, and seen some new faces too.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>And, yep, I'm signed up for the Glasshartt Special as well.<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> A Delica 50/50 with that totally awesome web design. BTW, I have managed to keep my Spydie habit alive and well. Since my departure, I've picked up the following knives:



* &quot;Spur&quot; in 40/60 edge

* Centofante in PE

* Micarta Jester

* Pink FRN Jester (for a *friend*<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>)

* Q in PE (Got it for $25 bucks!!)



And today, I orderd my first Military from Linda. (Drumroll, please!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) I also am thinking about getting a Pride USA here shortly. I also have a Ladybug on order, as well as a CoPilot from SMKW. Yes, I am still a die-hard Spydie fan!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>



My brother has also succumbed to the Spydie virus, and has managed to latch onto a rare SS Rescue model, as well as the LAST Massad Ayoob from SMKW. (My sister also bought a Pink Jester from SMKW.) Muahahaha! I just luv' it when people are taken by the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Plague! I have at least 4 of my cousin's friends waiting in line for a Spyderco. These are the same people that wouldn't even TOUCH a knife, let alone own one. Then I pulled a Spydie out of my pocket and it was all over.....hee hee!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>



I could go on and on with my saga of this past few months, but I'll spare you guys from that fiddle faddle.<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Its just GREAT to be back. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>



Now, let me say

KP,

Way to rock, Dude! Keep on postin', and askin' those good quesions.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>



I'm sorry if I missed someone, but let me say that I'm glad you're here. If you all need anything, just give me a holler. I'll come running, I promise.



Kahz,

Where ya' been, you old Mouse fan, you?!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Things haven't been the same without you! Hee hee!



Well, I guess I'd better end this rather long epistle.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Thanks for reading this, folks!



<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>YOU GUYS ROCK!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>





Overjoyed to be back,



Michael (aka. Spydernut)

Hey SpyderNut :

Welcommen! I'm still here with the &quot;others&quot;<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
It's good to see your interest(s) aren't as
parochial as mine <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I myself never made it to college. Couldn't aspire to letters and higher education, but am glad there are some who(m) CAN. At 39, I make one recommendation to you : don't &quot;throw away&quot; your life! STAY
in school, and get that &quot;sheepskin&quot; that is a tenet of the workforce of the millenium <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Welcome back SpyderNut ( &amp; of course, Kahz!)

So many Spydies, <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> So little money! <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Howdy SpyderNut! Welcome back! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

For next time you follow the age-old directions of &quot;Open mouth, insert foot&quot;, I have prepared a treatment for you.

1.) Step away from computer, take a deep breath.
2.) Grasp monitor in both hands.
3.) Firmly headbutt screen. Repeat until stress is relieved, or unconsiousness takes over.

Warning- May cause bleeding, bruising, destruction of computer, alien abduction, ulcers, poor penmanship, headaches, and temporary loss of vision.

That's my professional prescription, that'll be $197.50. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

Sword,

Thanks Samo, Glasshartt, Jeff and Jaxon!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I can't believe I lasted this long away from you all.(LOL!<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>)

I just got my PE Co-Pilot today, and boy is it sweet! I got it from SMKW for $29 bucks.

I just can't wait 'till that Military comes in....ah!

BTW Jaxon, I've managed not to hurt/maime myself during my absence.<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Although, I DID run my truck off of a highway.....

Tell ya what, <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>Nut. The treatment is free, just for you. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> However, I am not responsible for any undesired side effects. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.
