A FUCKIN CANARY!!
Nov 9, 2005


Woke up at 7 PM after a day of hard drinking. Thought that I was going to need to walk to the bathroom at some point, but rolled over and found that I'd set up about 10 bottles of water and several pissjugs. The perfect Tuesday-Thursday weekend.

I love it when Drunk me leaves presents for sober me...but not piss jugs. Drunk me still knows how to use a toilet.

Do you label your jugs "piss" so you don't confuse them and drink?

If you don't carry a knife at all times (except the airport), I don't know what to tell you. That thing looks about as useless at a dedicated blunt splitter.

Carry a multi-tool along with a standard folder. Bonus points that the multi-tool has a can opener on it to shotgun beers.

It's amazing how many people don't carry a knife/multi-tool yet always ask to borrow mine.

Yeah my baby Gerber is the poo poo. I need a more durable bottle opener on my keychain though, mine finally wore out. My neighbor showed me how to open a bottle with a seatbelt buckle though, which is, uh, not the least suspicious skill to have.

I don't worry about carrying a knife or multitool because all my friends carry them. When I need one I go "hey gimme a knife" and I get one from everyone I'm with.

When questioned why they carry knives the answer is always "I don't really know. I seldom use it."

They already make special can openers for shotgunning. My favorite local bar keeps one handy. Also, Hamm's is 1$ a can there.

I carry a tiny utility knife on my key chain. It's a Mitey Mite, I think. It actually comes in handy all the time. I use it at least once a day for opening packages, cutting things, digging out splinters - whatever a box cutter in miniature is good for.

Use perspective to make yourself look smaller, and speak in a very high voice. It'll seem like a huge knife and a very small person.

A Leatherman Micra fits on a key ring and can get your rear end out of a lot of jams. You will save the day at least once by having a screwdriver small enough to work on eyeglasses.

I use my pocket knife around a dozen times every day, but I also have a really low tolerance for plastic wrappers and stubborn packaging.

I like to carry at least two knives at all times. A tiny non-threatening knife for people not used to them (it being pink seems to make it seem safe) and a larger blade for other tasks. I live in the deep south where knives are relatively common on people and still there are tons with hang ups about carrying the things. Knives are sweet and make life easier, just embrace it.

In addition to the tiny multitool, I have a little maglight on my keychain that has made me a hero at a few movie theatres when people drop things. I'm probably gonna ditch it though now that everyone including myself has a flashlight function on their phone.

I had a small little Kershaw folder that was great for utility but I lost it at work about a year ago. Now I've been carrying my Smith and Wesson Bullseye knife, it's a little bigger but is half serrated, so more useful. Between that, a lighter, and a pen, that's my EDC gear.

I have a midrange Victorinox, which comes in handy almost every day, especially when people at work get packages and start to tear into them with their bare hands like animals. Not having some kind of multi tool, even a $5 keychain one, would be so inconvenient.

Rule #1 of keeping a knife sharp is to never let anyone use it.
I had someone ask to use my knife when I was working in a stockroom. They started scraping packing tape off a metal shelf with it :gonk:

I used to carry a flashlight all the time but since my phones light is just as bright I stopped.

Pocket/Belt Clip

It also has a screwdriver and nail file.

Now with less breakage.

I have a little Wenger aluminium-clad pocket knife in my bag, though it's technically illegal to carry knives in public places here. There's an exception for "honest uses" I could probably use to talk my way out of it if anyone ever cared, but I doubt it'll come up. (I think it's mostly there so they can add more charges when someone does something stupid.)

Oh, and a victorinox swisstool lying around at work, though that's a bit too heavy and large to casually stuff in a pocket. Pliers are habit forming.

Both are quite useful, even in my IT nerd life. (We get a lot of stuff from reagent suppliers with overzealous packagers.)

Shit! I didn't bring a knife.

I've carried a knife with me all the time ever since I was about 13. They come in ridiculously helpful. Currently I carry a couple of different Benchmades that I switch out depending on what I want to carry. I have a Swiss Army knife that I take places where I'm unsure of blade limit laws. Oh, and never let anyone use your knife. Learned that the hard way when my buddy's dad used mine as a screwdriver once.

I carried the same Gerber LST for 16 years. It was a gift from my uncle for being a groomsman. I let a co-worker borrow it when we changed offices and I never saw it again.

Dammit.
