Kinda like Stallone in Demolition Man.

When you're done with the brownies, you head over to michaels and puck up some doile patterns.
 
Kind of reminds me of the time I was at Ft. Knox, KY recovering from knee surgery. The guy in the next bed was a Marine attending Armor school. One day, he jumped off of a tank and landed wrong breaking his leg. There isn't a whole lot to do laying on your back recovering from leg surgery, so the volunteer ladies offered to teach us how to knit. I deferred, but my Marine buddy took to it like a duck to water. One day, his Gunny comes to check on him, and walks around the corner of the bay and sees this big Marine with cast on his leg knitting away with this baby blue colored yarn. I thought the Gunny was going to have a stroke! He turned as red as a brick, and exercising great control, asked my buddy "What in the HELL are you doing, Marine?" Cool as a cucumber, the Marine said "One of the volunteers is bringing me a basket of steel wool, and I'm going to make us a tank, Gunny." The Gunny got laughed off of the ward, and the Marine became a hero of the volunteer ladies.

Regards,

Dave

Wow! Thank you for the laugh I really needed it.

I thought I was gonna choke when you talked about the knitting needles "whistling like Bruce Lee swinging a fighting stick"!

Don't worry, we'll keep your secret.
 
Now all you need to do is learn how to use the Sea Shells!

What in the Hell has become of us? Mr. 4J's is knitting, S&W Chad is cooking dinner, and between doing the laundry, I baked two loafs of banana nut bread, from scratch, none of those sissy mixes for me, so Mrs. Old bear's girlfriend can take them to work with her tomorrow.
Guy's I'm going to stand up for myself and all of manhood; I will not do the ironing until tomorrow.
 
I have not finished the belt yet. I will have to admit that I tossed the sharpened stick and substituted ONE and only ONE knitting needle, having convinced myself that employing only one needle can hardly be construed as knitting.

When Mrs. 4Js got home, I showed her the nasty and hurtful text message sent by Jub Jub. I further informed her that I felt betrayed by her lying to the boy about me knitting. Ever the drama queen, she rolled her eyes and asked, "Did you feed the horses?"

"Yes."

"Did you check for eggs?"

"No."

"Why not."

"Honey, horses don't lay eggs." (I've been waiting a month to use that.)

I was lucky to escape with my life.

I rapidly threw on my jacket, raced outside with a flashlight, and found seven eggs in the chicken house.

After supper, I went back to work on the belt, which by now, through my hard work, is eighteen inches long. After a while, I checked my e mail and found one from my daughter, the Squid.

"Dad,

I think you should know that Mom has posted on her facebook account that you have taken up knitting. She also posted that had you gathered the eggs in the first place and not lipped off about it, she wouldn't have been forced to resort to facebook. As she put it, 'Game on.'

Anyway, a bunch of your old trooper buddies are getting a good laugh about it.

Thought you should know,

Squid

PS When you finish the belt, could you knit me a cozy for my Glock?"

Mrs. 4Js can be a fearsome adversary.
 
You guys are brutal. A forum member takes up knitting, so what? That doesn't make him less manly than the rest of us. Well, not unless he's knitting little socks & vests for the farm animals.

Hey 4Js, since you're already a member of the S&W Forum, you should join the S&W&E&A&T&E&R Forum. Members call themselves Knit Wits.
 
i will try to make a 1 1/2" braceilt out of 550 cord. been cooking for years. wife tells her friends she doesn`t cook any more since i retired. plus the grandchildren like my cooking.

My son, Jub Jub the Monkey Boy just sent a text message:

"Mom tells me you took up knitting. It's nice you've found a hobby, grandma."

Now I'm really upset.

I'm going to go cook some brownies.

Tell him, "Boy. You want me to leave ALL my guns to the Squid? Better straighten your act out!"

That oughta get him to change his tune.
 
Don't worry, Rosey Grier used to knit, and I can guarantee that anyone calling him a "metrosexual" only did it once. He was one of the "Fearsome Foursome" of the LA Rams back in the day.

:) Man, rationalizing can be a very slippery slope; be careful. But
as John Lennon said: "What ever gets you through the night, is
all right"!:)
