Canada Day Bullets: Japan

• My Dad bought three of these same knives, one a few weeks ago. This one that arrived yesterday is my early birthday present.

• From Japan, the Huusk, Premium Control Knife. 

• Paraphrased comments from a good, foodie friend of Asian descent, that has a very good knowledge of the Metro Vancouver restaurant scene, having been to many of local restaurants, many times.

• 'That is the sharpest knife.'

• 'Organized crime uses that knife to chop up its victims, to hide the bodies.'

• 'Do not drop that knife on your foot, or you will have no foot.'

• From Thursday, May 13, 2021 1:30am: SPONSORED:Huusk Japan Knives Review: Legit Kitchen Chef Knife or Fake?

Handcrafted with excellence in mind, each Huusk Japan knife is said to feature precision, laser-carved hole for the index finger (which gives the knife its increased control), traditional Japanese steel for utmost sharpness and a premium oak wood handle for optimal comfort, grip and handling of produce. As if these features aren’t enough, the creators of Huusk Japan Knives have added more to the list.'

Facets including sharpness, ergonomic grip and balance have all been included in this respective knife, which as per the advertisement are true to knives made by expert Japanese knifemakers.'

Monday Bullets: 'Legend in my own mind' 2005

Monday Bullets: 'Legend in my own mind' 2005

• Seems to me, based on the Blogger profile photo at the time, that troll was likely within an extreme part of a well-known, politically correct group.

• He seemingly viewed my non-personal, worldview disagreement with him, based on my writing, as a personal assault on his worldview.

• Rather than friendly dialogue, he chose to fiercely attack.

• The article he reviewed, had nothing directly to do with any politically correct movement.

• A philosophical deduction is that often people want to avoid intellectual dialogue, because of emotional fears of perhaps receiving data that may begin to change his/her mind, or least cause a reconsideration of certain premises and propositions.

• In other words, a person often has an emotionally-charged, intellectual life agendas, for the sake of personal happiness, that he/she does not want challenged.

• Add another 5 to 10 degrees Celsius here in my loft, I imagine. The sunroom, especially.

• With Netherlands, Croatia and France being knocked out of Euro 2020, I am too 'embarrassed' to post my prediction statistics.

• But, I am still above 50% for correct results. Better than the last Euro...

Leafs are always really close
