Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Put some paracord on my walking stick. Gives me a better grip when I’m counting coup on squirrels and pokin bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I like the Walking stick medallions better than the paracord, but in total very nice. Getting close to wanting some sort of stick, but I'll be looking for one with a sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for urban strolls but not very useful for hiking. And not legal in all states…because apparently thousands of hoodlums use them to mug people. Oddly switchblades are legal here but not sword canes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may say, “Touché, l’ours”. Bears, except in Canada, do not speak French. This embarrasses them when they don’t know how to appropriately respond, and as we all know, an embarrassed bear is no threat. You may also shout, “Yá’áá’ééh” in a sarcastic tone. They will assume you are a Navajo intent on making them into a blanket and they will run away. I have done this many times. in my dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You like that first line? That's what otto decided it should say. Never hose whatever. What I thought it should say is "navajos wove their". I can't seems to me that "navajo's wove their blankets" makes more sense than "never hose whatever blankets". otto still stuck his fingers in it. Where I wrote navajo's wove there Okay, try again. Navajos over there otto is commencing to annoy me. Navajos wolf there I will give up on the weaving of the blankets that belong to the navajos. Let's look at the fourth paragraph. It is supposed to say "it just seems to me". You know this that is not what it says. You may even note that in the previous sentence "notice" has been changed to "know this".

"basset horn, clarinet pitched a fourth lower than the ordinary B♭ clarinet, probably invented in the 1760s by Anton and Michael Mayrhofer of Passau, Bavaria. The name derives from its basset (“small bass”) pitch and its original curved horn shape (later supplanted by an angular form). Its bore is narrower than that of the E♭ alto clarinet, and it has a downward extension of compass to the low F of the bass voice (written as C). The boxwood instrument is usually built to order, in straight form with upturned bell." https://youtu.be/yHFTNYE3ZX8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
