No, I still didn't pull the trigger on that one. Inevitably, I will at some point. It's just too good to resist.
Yes it is. Your post reminded me to put some Silver Mountain Man Mondays in my future.
Silver Mountain Man Mondays sounds like a great new edition to the canon. It should probably include a Bowie knife instead of a razor though ;-)
With a Bowie knife you're always prepared to do the "That's not a knife. That's a knife" scene from Crocodile Dundee. I find SMW to be a terrific EdP for spring/summer. Very high-key.
In a few years, when free AI is powerful enough, you know there will be a LG contestant generating a Wetshave Dundee parody move where "that's a knoife" refers to a Fili 14 or one of those 12/8" Ukranian straights.
