ThomasPowers Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 It's a quote from the British Comedy series Black Adder; there are a number of such quotes that are rife in my smithy! "Only one spike; because two spikes would be an extravagance!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabumi Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 HAHAHA I havent thought of that episode for a while. "Chairs? WICKED CHILD! *smack, smack* In our home, Nathaniel sits on a spike." "And you?" "I sit on Nathaniel, two spikes would be an extravagance " Now that Black Adder is in my mind, i think our high school aged farm help is going to get a crash course in silliness. "If you have 2 beans, and you add 2 more beans, then how many beans do you have?" "3 beans... and that 1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It's been a lot of fun introducing the local college kids in the SCA to Black Adder. (Why does the administration keep offering me a hemlock smoothie...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabumi Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I was bitten by the black adder when I was a wee lad of 8. Its so engrained into me that sometimes I worry if I have a good idea then my foot will fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 NO help for the sane, Thomas. I'm NOT supposed to try am I? Truth is, some questions or ideas are so good it takes years to wear them out. New if related to old, things come up all the time and new folks have to ask many of the same questions we did when we started some subjects never die. Frosty The Lucky.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Forge each excuse into an opportunity. Enjoy each heat, each hammer blow, and each hour at the anvil as a gift. Count each success with a smile, knowing you have learned something from the project. Forge 2021 into what YOU want it to be. ~ Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshj Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 "When someone talks... listen. You can learn from anyone... I don't care if they're five, or ninety.... when they talk- listen, every body has done something that you haven't. After you've heard what they have to say- then decide if you're learning from an idiot." - my grandfather Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 My grandfather always said, you were given one mouth and two ears, so you should do twice as much listening as talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
