Got a box today and the return address suggested Kennedy Knives but I hadn't ordered anything. I read the included invoice and noticed that the email address was for Garry Moore. It was almost an anonymous bombing run. A quick check with Gary Kennedy and my suspensions were confirmed. That sly Quick Steel was behind it all. A Boker Great American Story, Buffalo Bill & Sitting Bull muskrat commemorative. What a sweet knife and a total surprise 😮. Thanks Garry for your generosity. Also included was a Wrangler knife pick/nail file.

????????????????????????? Floyd, I can assure you that my role in this has been greatly exaggerated, the fact is I had nothing to do with it at all. After your last bombing run over me, I have had something in mind to retaliate, but as yet I have not completed the project. That sure is a very nice knife and knife pick that I did not send you!!! I can assure you that someone has taken my name in vain.

That's a teriffic "bomb" bombardier Garry dropped on you, Phil, and it doesn't surprise me that Mark had something to do with it either! ::tu::

An equally sweet "bomb" Kennedy Knives/Gary Moore/Gary Kennedy/Old Cutler/anonymous released on you, Floyd! ::hmm::

I know that when I've been "bombed" I get an extreme case of the "warm n' fuzzies", I'm sure you have too! ::groove::

Some really kind and thoughtful folks around here, don't ya'll think! ::handshake::

Thanks OC. My apologies! I can assure you no retaliation is necessary.

Got a surprise in yesterday's mail. In addition to the two wheel dolly cart I bought from Walmart I received a postal box with a return address of Ms.Kim (on AAPK). I couldn't figure out what it was at first but on closer examination it turned out to be a knife & a heavy little bugger at that. No idea why she sent it but it is a nifty neato little bugger and HEAVY. Thanks Kim. It is now hanging up on my "Love Me Shelf" with all my Marine Corps & Viet Nam stuff. Cool!!!

(I haven't taken it out of the blister pack because it's neat too and I want to preserve it.)

Jerry!
"Kimzilla", a new member, "bombed" that knife to you cuz the other day she "bombed" John/Red Rider one that was called the "Red Rider", and I happened to mention when she posted the one she sent you that Jerry6818 needs one of those, and she jumped on the idea immediately. ::nod::
She was very taken with the idea of sending "bombs" to each other!

Yah, she's new and very excited about finding our site, and wants to make a good impression. Our contests, GAW, POS, Secret Santa, Bombing, etc. make her quite excited to the point of already compiling her list for the POS exchange knives, so that's what she's about, perhaps a little overzealous but a very nice gal.

*Spoiler Alert*

Didn't see this post until just now, but it is true, I've been 💣!!! Looks like Kim found a pair of cool Red Ryder knives (that I didn't have) and got in cahoots with Mark and Herb. When the wife came in with the box I thought, "Did I order a knife in my sleep?" Nope, just BOMBED!!!

Thanks for this cool pair, greatly appreciated to all accomplices. ::handshake::

Kerry (toomanyknives) just sent me some cool Case stickers!! I have around 32 Case knives so it is the majority of my meager accumulation. I stuck some on my new 22 drawer card catalog cabinet that I use to store my knives. Thank you so much Kerry!! What a nice Geogia gentleman!! ::ds:: :D ::handshake:: ::ds:: ::ds::
