Hello from Texas

Post by mumblypeg »

Hello to everyone,
I'm Richard, down here in Northeast Texas. I thought I'd go by "mumblypeg" because it's an old game my cousins and I were taught by our Grandfather. Involves trying to stick a knife in the ground from different points off the body, (finger, knuckle, wrist and such). I'm sure some of the more mature (I won't say older) members know what I'm talking about.
I'm a newbie when it comes to collecting knives. I've been at it about 10-12 yrs. now. I know I still have alot to learn and I really appreciate everyone's advice here. ::tu::
I'm sort of all over the place in my collection, though I am partial to the peanut style. Bone or other natural handle material (stag when I can afford it).
Also, a BIG "Thank You" to Bryan for having this great site. ::tu:: ::tu::
I've been doing alot of reading here and have enjoyed and learned a ton of info.
Anyway, I'll sign off now. And thanks again everyone for dropping the knowledge on us newbies. I know I appreciate it. :D
Regards,
Richard

Thanks for the welcome, Johnnie. And a "Howdy" to you also.
Soon as I click on that link below "How do I add a picture?" and read up on what it has to say, I'll be posting a few pics. If it's as simple as E-bay's software to use, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to do it. :oops: ( I'm kinda new at this 'puter stuff also).
Regards,
Richard

Thanks s-k, mpeg's fine with me.
I say I've been collecting 10-12 yrs, but have been serious (buying books and researching) about 3 yrs. now, so I'm relatively new at it. But I'll try to contribute what I can. ::nod::

Welcome Mumblypeg,

You will enjoy the great characters on aapk there are some incredible folks who share their thoughts here...

And I know mumblypeg very well, my father taught the game to me as a youngster...I sure wish I had all my toes still... :shock:

Thanks for the welcome, Sunburst.
I knew I'd find someone in here that knew mumblypeg was also a game and not just an old knife. :)
Have a god one,
Richard

Hi Richard,

I recall playing that game. We always went finger, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and then for the finally ...a back flip off the nose :?

Welcome aboard. I hope you continue to enjoy this place. Think of it as your own. I hope to think all the members do. ::tu::
