What ho! and well met! Brianna is now, more than ever, verily pleased with the turning of the season to speakest in thy holiest of tongues: third person, Renaissance Faire.

Spexxvet voted "other". HE FINDS FLINT TO BE AMUSING, ENTERTAINING, AND INTERESTING, BETIMES. Spexxvet asks what is love, what is hate?

Dost third person posting requireth archaic, nay, obscure utterances?

Only if Spexxvet so desires. Sundae Girl is amused by this and will therefore continue unless gently restrained by the opinion of her fellow posters.

And if Spexxvet restraineth you with shackles of chinchilla, and taketh thee to a dungeon?

dar thinks that Flint cares too much whether and what others think of him.

Aah, chinchilla handcuffs and dungeons speak to Sundae Girl Across the void that separates her and Spexxvet... She is quite overcome with emotion. At least that's what she thinks it's called.

:swoon:

oooooookay.

I got a nice 2 pound, 12 ounce flint two weeks ago and I really like it. I broke off a piece the size of my thumb to give to my friend. The piece he had for his flint and steel kit was sharp but thin and small, and broke so easily that he would soon have too little to strike a spark.

I will probably break up the flint into pieces smaller pieces and get some sections of 1/4" steel stock to make up some firemaking kits for the scouts. I made a mass of charcloth the other day, too. Now all I have to do is get hold of some oakum, although I could make do with some shredded/untwisted sisal.

That third person thing weirds me out. Let me know when you're all done.

Other.
Flint:
You're entirely too much wo/man for me. I can't take it. I'm lighting myself on fire whilst being launched, via catapult, to the moon because I'm overwhelmed by your presence(s) on the Intarwebnetutronicle.
Forsooth and verily, bitches.

i want to have flint's babies.






what's this about, anyway?

worthy of comment
 

Found? Bought? Stole? Got as gift?

Tell me about it a little. Is it a hobby for you to make flint stuff? Or do you simply have an interest in it? Ancestory?

or a smoke pole in V's case

I've heard "smoke my pole" before, but what's a smoke pole?

Bought from Ellensburg Agate and Bead. He had a whole box of it that he said he intended to make jewelry from, but it kept cracking on him. Those weaknesses were not a problem for me, since I intended to break it up rough anyway.

I have kept my eye out for some found materials, but much of the rock I have seen around here is basaltic or granitic (I'm not a geologist, as you can certainly tell), but I'm sure if I visited some other areas, perhaps rocky riverbeds, I could pick up some nice jasper or agate pieces. Those would be hard enough to do the job too.
