Why would anyone think I need brass knuckles?

It was my birthday this past weekend. Got a bunch of silliness from the Grandkids. (I oohed and ahhed appropriately).

This was the first weekend the deer camp was opened.

My lovely Son-of-a-wrek decides he’s gonna go all out and do a shrimp boil. He knows I love that. Very nice. (I oohed and ahhed appropriately :face_savoring_food:).

One problem…he’s also the deer camp head chef. He had to combine my shrimp boil with deer camp dinner for Saturday. That meant about 10 extra folks at the house. Acccckkkkkk!

I know these guys. They’ve been hunting these parts many years. We’re not best friends but I do know them. They’ve always been courteous and decent. And of course they love the food we put out. Especially pie. (They oohed and ahhed appropriately).

A few brought token gifts. Which no one required of them but some people just do it anyway.

One thing was in a PKG. No card. Not sure who was the grandaddy of this one. No one has admitted it.

It’s a long hard thing with four loops. Ivy looked at it for a long time and said “is that brass knuckles?” To nervous laughter. The Lil’wrekker said “what the heck is it?”

Ohhhhh. I know what it is. It’s toe spreaders. Hey, I need that. I oohed and and ahhed appropriately!!

Brass knuckles? my foot!!

:smiling_face:

Happy slightly-belated birthday, Beck!

Why, thank you. (Oooh…aaah! :smiling_face:)

That’s a candidate for White Elephant re-gifting!

Beck should sign up for Secret Santa and give the toe spreader as her gift.

Those things won’t fit an elephant no matter what color it is.

I may wrap it up for Ivy for Christmas.

She does have a screaming bunion. It might help her.

:smiling_face:

“Ask your doctor if PKG is right for you.”

Hey, you never know, you might need to fight off a wild boar.

Or shut up a mild bore.

Now THAT was good.

Happy birthday Beck.

… or get a refund from your beautician.

Brass knuckle toe spreaders: when you really need to kick some brass.

Happy birthday!! :heartbeat: :100: :kiss_mark:

@gnoitall is right. In this extreme combat world of ours, you want to be able to spin kick somebody into the middle of next week with your “brass toeckles”. :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

I think a better line of question would be, who DOESN’T need brass knuckles? They’re kind of like whipped cream on pie–sure, the pie/your fisticuffs are just fine as created, but some shrewd enhancements make things better.

nicely worded
