Every time I try to explain this board to someone in meat space I embarrass myself.
The handle is a (concealed?)knife. Also, it looks like it could function as a Kuboton.
OK, it sounds like I won’t have to tell TSA ‘Keep your hands off my Parker!’ (Google isn’t turning anything up, so I may be mis-remembering the tag line from that childhood commercial.) I’ll bet I could poke an eye out with it though.
Then there are tactical drinking straws. I think they’ve been confiscated by TSA.
I haven’t seen a tactical pen with a concealed knife. I would just call that a knife.
How else is an elderly vampire supposed to feed?
I was referring to the tactical spork.
Oh, well all bets are off with a spork.
Funny enough, I have a switchspork in my bedstand. It even works.
It’s basically this:
The only disappointment is that it doesn’t flick open as fast as a switchblade because the spork is a lot bigger than a little blade.
Me too. IMHO, the lines have not gotten much shorter.
The National Guard isn’t standing around with M4’s anymore though.
That’s a whirligig, a potato peeler, and I’ve sliced my hands many times with one!
But the one trip I took involving an airplane was after sept. 11, and at the airport I realized that I had a bic lighter in my pocket. I told the agent at Logan, and he said it was fine.
I did not express my thought that it could be used to set fires on planes. I bit my tongue and made sure not to set any fires on the plane.
I heard about this on our local NPR affiliate this morning. They said that what looks like a hiking trail quickly turns into a cliff.
Me too. IMHO, the lines have not gotten much shorter.

If it’s slippery, and you’re an invincible 16 yo. You, could well and surely be fucked. This is where “vegetable holds” come in handy. Grab freaking anything.
I’ve done it. Very poor form, but lived to talk about it, so there is that.
Decades ago at one of the Southern California sea parks a TV crew was there to do a puff piece and talked a woman trainer a bikini instead of her usual wet suit. Part of the act included her riding the back of an orca while waving at the crowd. The whale suddenly rolled,* dumping her into the water, then latched onto an ankle. Luckily it was close enough to the side of the tank her coworkers grabbed her before she was pulled under.
I vividly remember two people pulling with all of their might, a third beating on the snout of the orca, and her leg it its mouth halfway up the calf. Luckily she escaped with only lacerations and a broken ankle.
*The analysis later was that the orca was curious about the difference in texture between rubber and skin.
The very moment I was reading this the TV was playing a Poligrip commercial featuring an archetypal Count Dracula.
Makes me idly wonder if they have weapons for such an occurrence. Did her coworkers use a chair or something to hit the Orca?
I imagine that all the whale had to do was exhale and sink. I think. Far from knowledgeable on such matters.
If Hank Ketchum spent three years collecting data before beginning his chronicles of the five-year old menace in 1951, it very well could be…
Are those forceps or a hemostat?
(And he had them confiscated not so much because they are dangerous: someone working the checkpoint just needed a new roachclip.)
Now I’m imagining an Orca on Jerry Springer.
Footage of Steve holding an orca back as it chitters angrily at a ex-lover would be the best thing ever.
