PDA

View Full Version : Spydie saves homeymoon!

Well, just before Christmas I went and got married, instead of getting a few new Spydies. I think I made the right decision!! However on the homeymoon my bride and I were attacked by a crazed beast intent on savaging us and ruining our honeymoon, on Kangaroo Isalnd. I hadn't realised the fauna were so savage, but I cooly drew my Endura and dispatched the brute easily. My bride was so overcome by my bravery that... well you know the rest!!



The real truth?? We were driving along when my bride coolly advised me not to panic and to stop the car. Somehow I knew it was really time to panic then! As the car came to a halt I noticed a large huntsman spider on the dashboard in front of me. It was then that I drew my Endura and chased the brute under the dash mat with the tip, whereupon I crushed him with the side of blade. Perhaps it doesn't sound like much of a threat to you guys, but I hate spiders, as opposed to Spyders.



Anyway, the real point of this post is to suggest a thread of excuses for buying a new Spydie. There is a great advert on Aussie TV at the moment, where one guy asks another why he needs such a powerful ute (pickup in America). The first guy replies that if he was driving down the highway and came across a tanker hanging over the edge of a cliff, containing 30,000 litres of petrol, no make that beer, he could pull the tanker to safety easily. And the truckie (large fat trucker jumps down from cab) well he would... no make that she would forever be in your debt (gorgeous female emerges from truck cab, long blond hair flowing from underneath her cap). "Good point" replies the second guy.



So, any good yarns I can spin my new wife as to why I need another Spydie?



Regards, Neophyte.

Using a Spyderco to kill a Spider? That's GOT to be some bad karma, there, dude <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>



I got these lines in my face from trying to straighten out the wrinkles in my life

Congratulations on your recent marriage. There aren't really any good excuses to use on your best half that will work in your favor. You just need to get her a couple of <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> and she will see how wonderful and handy they can be, then you'll be set <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>. My wife has 3 now; a Ladybug, a Dragonfly, and a Toad. She likes the little ones<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Neophyte,

Congrats and good on ya, mate! Now get the neo-Mrs Neophyte Spyderco Santoku! Nothing mashes, smashes, slices, dices, chops, and juliennes them pesky Aussie Funnel-Web spiders better than one of these babies! Mmmm! Mmmmm! Good!&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.engr.uconn.edu/~mmartins/smilies/hungry.gif&quot;&gt;
