Just wanted to throw that out there.
I'd love to post "just got my bowie", but, for now, can just type 'bowie'.

Good idea Roo - just in case Dan or Patti forgot what we are all waiting for! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

No fear of that guys...

Bowie sounds like a beautiful plan to me!

Especially an INFI LE version... drool! (I know it'll never happen...)

Man, I fell victim to this thread also! I am with you though on this!

GRRRR ROO!!!

I thought I had missed it or something!!!

If I had missed IT AND the War Boar I would have been annoyed!!

There's some other company selling a bowie-style blade with INFI. Buy it. Buy it now. Do it. I did; GravelFace did (more than once, it seems); you should. If you ever read books on harmonious, romantic relationships ("Men Are From Ohio, Women Are From Venus"), you'll see buying a Fusion Battle Mistress ranks up there with listening and being thoughtful.

But that's what this thread is about. Buy the Fusion Battle Mistress on your own time. We're here to clamor for a Bowie made with SR-77.

You tell em' Thom !!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That is a sweeeeet!! I want the Combat Grade Fusion Battle Mistress.

BOWIE!!!!

Big knives that are insanely CORROSION RESISTANT with RES-C HANDLES!!!!

Bubba - Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard. You got it right -- Bowie!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Welcome Bubba!!!

FBM?? I need one of those!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


Oh yea...BOWIE!!!!!

Bowie! On the general principle the INFI mudder follows it... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

It only makes sense that the Mudder would follow the Bowie; after all, the Bowie is the KING of knives!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

When the bowie comes out and crosses the pond to your home, you may change your mind. An SR-77 Bowie with a 10.5" blade inspires an association with a young Winston Churchill fighting fierce battles to eradicate slavery in what was once the British Sudan. An INFI mudder, in comparison, inspires images of Hugh Grant's manchild character in "About a Boy." Since I liked that movie and like small knives, I still want an INFI mudder, but, still....

...It's all about the Bowie!

I'm the KING of knives
There is none higher
Little EDCs
Must call me sire!

Right on Thom!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> And Paul, being in Britain, should really appreciate your poem! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Very good Thom, good old Winnie, the world will not see his like again. It could use another Churchill...

Good poem too, like a good dagger- short and to the point!

Are you a Beastie Boys fan too? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Those lyrics sound quite similar to "Putting Shame In Your Game" from Hello Nasty:

I'm the king of Boggle there is none higher
I get 11 points off the word quagmire
Fools can't see me and that's how it is
And that's how I like it cause that's my biz

It was a paraphrase of Run DMC's "King of Rock," but thanks, guys.

I used to like the Beasties, but Redman, Method Man, EPMD, Das Efx, and Blastmaster KRS One are my go-to hiphop.

Who ????????????? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I like Redman and Method Man too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I've heard of RedMan (tobacco?), but Method Man ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I think we have stumbled onto dangerous grounds......

GF - Am I missing something by not wearing my reading glasses ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You know if Thom and I both like it it can't be all bad. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I don't know....I think I am sitting this round in Toms corner!

(Back on topic...) The bowie spec is out! What a beast! Discuss...

After checking out Andy's links, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I think I'll stick with Simon and Garfunkel ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I kind of prefer Linkin Park, Kaiser Chiefs and Metallica myself... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

I guess I feel like a recording artist should actually be able to sing! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Kind of like a knife should be sharp enough to cut easily! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Personally, big fan of the Insane Clown Posse here.....
I don't care if they can sing, as long as they make me laugh

Don't you all think it's time for some price and availability information on the Bowie ?!!?

Of course I think that. It's driving me nuts.

Regarding hip-hop and singing:

I'm currently using various resources to teach myself opera (drawing mostly from the Bel Canto/Swedish-Italian school with huge influences from Richard Miller and the International school of singing). David Jones recommended I check out works of Jorma Hynninen and John Charles Thomas to hear what is possible with my voice type (baritone) when properly trained. Dang! Now I'm mangling songs in four languages instead of just English and it's great fun.

It takes a lot away from my enjoyment of substandard singing because human voices are capable of much more than what is heard in pop music. This doesn't take away from my enjoyment of the rapping in hip-hop because it isn't singing. And there are those disco beats and funk rhythms....

So in conclusion, I'm a huge fan of the Flagstad/Bjoerling School of singing and ScrapYard Knife Company's new bowie rules!

Boo-yah to ya!

Thom...you are an enigma!?

No sir. Just like freedom and great knives.

We can ALL agree with that!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I like freedom too......and obsesed with knives!!

I'd have NEVER guessed! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thom you are an eclectic free spirit.. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind words, but I owe any freedom I have to good folks like my grandfather, Gravelface, and all others who've served.

That is great that you are trying to teach yourself Opera!! That is awesome. I worked with someone who was an opera singer. He had such an amazing knife!!
Good for you!!

I would like to have an idea of how much this Bowie is going to cost. I HOPE they pick MY name for the new Bowie

Sorry TKC, but I hope the free knife goes to another guy with the initials of TK- see? Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I listen to Linkin Park on the radio...I have almost all of Metallica's cds. I listen to pretty much everything: rock, rap, classical, country, oldies, reggae, whatever. Mostly I play rock or rap though. Have you heard the Metallica S&M (symphony & metallica) album? I thought it was cool because it combined two types of music that I like that most people wouldn't combine...classical & rock music. I have another track that's a weird combo. A group singing Snoop Dogg's Gin & Juice sang country style to country music. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Andy - You're getting pretty close to the Scrapper level!!!
