Sip n Talk

If you don’t have a hot date for Friday night, bring your favorite beer, bourbon, drink or soda and meet me here on this thread tomorrow night (Friday) between 8:00 and 9:00 Eastern time to discuss knives, guns, cars, bikes and the like.

Dan

Put my hot date off till 9:30 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I don't know, three Frescas and I can be embarrassingly wry...

But you're on! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Now we'er talking <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It may be just us two...thats cool

I have an idea I want to bounce around, I hope the others can jump in

Dan

Good, bring on the rye

Oh you said wry...that works too

Dan

I figured there was a reason. Count me in.

Very good

Talk to you Dogs tomorrow night...I need to get some beauty sleep. Patti keeps telling me no one could sleep that long. I am not sure whats she is implying <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dan

Count me in. Nothing good happens where I live until after 10pm so no sense in heading out until then.

I'll have a bottle of One Barrell Rum and some Ginger Beer so I can mix myself up a Dark & Stormy drink.

Let's talk guns, blades, women & whisky - but not necessarily in that order !

Sounds good <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Rum and Ginger Beer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

chickenplucker,

If you can get your hands on some "One Barrell" (Belize made Rum) I highly recommend it ! Best rum I have ever tasted.

With all my girls are putting me through lately, I need some time to sip and talk. It should be interesting.

I just found out they make Black Cherry Fresca.

...

Black Cherry Fresca!

Hello? Is this thing on?!

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

OY! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />......................................................................................... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hahaha! Sorry Tom!

Tomorrow should be fun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

hmmm Dan's got "idea's"

I'll have to come and see this!

I'll be here, I hope... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I guess I had better be here - just to make sure everyone behaves themselves! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

i dont know much but i hope to learn!

hope all is well if i chime in! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

See ya then, Alpha!

I have the beer and I have the time, so I will be here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Should be interesting.

Awww...no date, but I'll be busy doing some running in town for my Mom. I guess I can always read it later...

I have to work at that time but I am still going to read it after it's over. May be some good info therein.

Let the yard grow,

JT

hah! great post.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> something came up... i may get to check in from the phone though. and i expect i'll be drinking so <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />...

Cool...try to be on tonight!!!

Ill be there, as luck would have it its my day off.

Sounds fun! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />I will have to see what I can do. We have the first football game tonight, so I am not sure what time we will be back. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Ya gotta have a newbie hanging around. I'll try and be there with some Pendleton and Coke.

Man, I have a wrestling meeting tonight at 7:00 Central time. I hope it doesn't last too long and I can get home in time to have a drink and a great conversation on this thread tonight.

And so it begins!

Got to checck it out

Oh no, I'll be working tonight. I would like to provide some input but I'll have to leave that to the dogs who are able to attend. I'll have to twist open a few Shiner Bocks when I get home in the morning so that I can be in the proper mind frame when I catch up on the items discussed. Y'all drink several for me.

I should be able to be here

This sounds interesting... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I have the Beer, now I just have to work a little harder today, so I can make the time for it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Howdy folks! I'm a little early..

Hey Clint, me too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Deciding what to drink tonight... thinking some Glenfiddich sounds pretty nice....

So am I <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So am I <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm drinking MGD 64 - watching my figure <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

i'm seeing double ..... LOL

OK... I am officially envious.... I have to hang with diet coke...or water...

*SIGH*

Doc

Your in for a rough night.... LOL

Been there before....dangit....

heheheh

Doc

I think we all have LOL

Hey Dogs,

Who do we have talking and sippen? Whats ya drinken. The Black Cherry Fresca sounded the most scary <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I got my Old Grand Dad with exactly 4 drops of water. This bottle maybe in trouble

Dan

Iced tea, washing down some meatloaf and potatoes o'gratin. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Drink and food...good move

I'm here and drinking MGD 64 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Not my favorite but I'm trying to get into prime hiking condition before late September. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Diet Coke. I'm driving later <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Good beer. where you going hiking

Great Smokey Mountain Nat'l Park - Can't wait! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

makers mark and ice cream....

glad you could join

Now thats a combo <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Sierra Nevada anniversary ale and Guinness extra stout

Now that's a float for ya'! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Not often we get to shoot the bull with the Big Dog.....wouldn't miss it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

diet coke..... no sauce for a while....

its not bad , creme brule hagendaz and maker mark seams to work oddly... kinda a fire and ice....but it works for now...

Listening to Alan Jackson - The Blues Man <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I know, it's country, but hey...

A grat place, I have hiked almost every inch of that park over the years

i threw on some rebel sons.... its rather offencive rockabilly

In the form of a Black & Tan? I'm not familiar with Sierra Neveda

This is going to be like Death Chat - but with the Boss included! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

ha! better late than never huh! lowder checkin in. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

hahaha uhoh might as well pump my post count....

One of the ideas...and I got a bunch, is to make a 3 yr anniversay 300,000+post forum patch

What do you think

Any ideas on how it should look

i might even dust off the humidor and pluck a nasty cigar out for the next hour.... might have to grab the lap top and smoke out side....

I'm glad you jumped in

OHHH NOW that is a great idea.....no calories there

Every knife the yard has made in a circle with the points pointing in?

I think that would be awesome Dan! Have to think about how it should look- defintely should have the SY logo though...

So Big Dog......
What are the chances of getting a Scrap yard bottle opener prybar tool

My thought would be to give these to any Forum member that has contributed more than say 50 post

with chain link behind it?

That puts me in

For some, that's only an hour of posting... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thats an interesting idea but people may stare for a long time trying figure out if we got em all...not that staring is bad

Snarling Dawg...knife or knives on sides...

" Scrap Yard Dawgs.... Howling at the Stars"
"300,000 +..."

just a thought...

let'em stare!

That does seem appropraite but I wouldn't want it to bite into production time

The pitbull logo over a burning computer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hi guys figured I'd join in.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

A patch sounds interesting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Thats creative and interesting

I'll take it! A patch sounds really cool.. How about a jyd patch too..

you could have them numbered like LE's but starting at 300,000 instead of 0

rainwalker could make a bottle opener option on his sheath =P

Good point...should it be higher? I do want to be able to say "thanks" to the Dogs for making this forum one of the best places on net

I'm sippin on a miller high life by the way.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'm glad you jumped in [/quot

thanks dan glad i checked in too drinkin sammy adams cherry wheat and samuel smiths oatmeal stout( if ya wants yur alchohol and yer oatmeal breakfast together in one than this is the beer its so thick ya cant even see through the bottle YUMMY!) and maybe i will dip into the vanilla vodka and coke later if needs be <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thats cool

I just got done mowing the lawn, I have one Dark & Stormy in me already and I am working on # 2 as I type.

What have I missed thus far ?

And the more you drink the longer you stare... LOL

Yeah i think 250 posts or more shows dedication to the yard...

LOL but I like it

We have melted down some seriuos technology

Make it scratch-N-Sniff and have it smell like a dog <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

found the scrap yard trike....

LOL! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />




Great minds think alike... me too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

and yeah, this place rules...

that's an awesome trike

Good!!! everyone lift your glasses

Cheers

I think the patch is a cool idea by the way count me in

I'm in better late than never! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'd better keep posting to hit 250. Since I joined the forum recently I thought it would be rude of me to just start posting on every thread...

You got creative blood running through you...how about design ideas

keep it on the back burner <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ha, my platoon is the Dirty Dogs, a patch would be great.

50 posts is a good cap i think

I think a big dog with a keg under one arm and a big ol chopper in the other...

i have been outta action sence my trip i have to get my shop in order and get some projects done..... muwahahaha i got a few plans....so my post jump isnt going as high as it should... also at my confernce some one brought a bug from home... had a wet lung... for a week now

First, there is no rudeness in posting ina any and all threads

Second the idea of 250 is not bad...what do the other Dogs think, how about you Dogs with less than 250 posts

need some advice. My primary rifle 1960's Husqvarna .270 is worn out. I like the mauser action on the rifle what do I replace it with ? I am of the general opinion that new guns are junk

Winchester Model 70 ? Not sure about the new guns they are putting out ?

+1 if its gonna be 250 then i better keep sippin and posting its gonna be a long night

I think 250 is a good number- It shows some dedication but isn't too high of an achievement. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Scrap Yard patches would WOOF <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm a JYD, but it isn't that hard to hit 250

if anyone has trouble hitting 250, there are more than a few dogs that will help you get there pronto!

..

Doesn't bother me... I'll get there eventually....

I'll even get to JYD down the road...

250 works

theres a doggy style joke brewing i just know it

LOL...got a dog to go with it

Thanks Dan. Here's my analogy. Being new to a forum is like meeting a new friend... you don't want to come on too strong and wear out your welcome immediately... it takes time to earn the right to post constantly being a new member (in my opinion)

its not a bad idea... but when would it go into effect? I need a little time to get there too.

I'd love to play a part in the design. I'm usually better at expressing it with images instead of words though.

I did get a thought the other day though.... somebody has something about a flag in their sig line and it made me think of the SYKCO logo done kinda like a jolly roger type image... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

you won't wear out your welcome here my friend.. this place is very different.. In a very GOOD way...

What do think about including our motto i.e

Superio Performance to Price Ratio

or

Long Live The Brotherhood Of The Yard

aw man :[ did i miss anything good?

I vote "long live the brotherhood of the yard."

the mutt head , and a ddr and an s5 crossed? .... sounds intersting

ok another random junk yard art

I like the "Long Live The Brotherhood Of The Yard". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Including one of the motto's sounds good. I like the second one for a patch. Could go around the outer edge.

"If you have a better knife You probably spent too much money"

or keep it short and "long live the yard" works... i think

Long live the Dawg_Pack in the Yard

scrapyardknives.com


maybe...

lol... so true

i like it! lol

i was thinking of tattooing the dog on my shoulder...

Is it shot out or just not shooting

My fav bolt gun is a Browning Eclipse A Blot in 308 Win This is the one with the laminate stoke and thumbhole

I like that also..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

shot out almost completely, action is rough, not worth the money to re-barrell

That would be an interesting concept to follow...I like it

I need a sympathy drink now, no alcohol allowed.
Brother dogs enjoy this for me........

can you re-barrel it ?

I have not researched hunting rifles in a while and deer season starts in Nov here in Texas. Although our deer are the size of Great Danes (small).

Does the Browning A Bolt a mauser action ? Claw extractor ?

how about a logo with dan dumpster divin with his feet hangin out and the dumpster and the scrapyard dog logo on the dumpster with knives laying around the dumpster on the ground and a border around the patch saying faithful to the pond or something like that or the scrapyard dog logo with the dog bitting on a knife like hes fetching a bone with the border and writting

The new Mod 70's are supposed to be like the old pre-64 style....according to a article I saw in American Rifleman....supposed to be pretty sweet actions again...

with crossed knives over the dog face!?
might look pretty cool
the guy that did the swamp rat logo on the site would be a good guy to use...i like how vicious that rat looks, imagine what he could do with a dog

How about the dog logo with crossed dogfathers!

I have a Browning 1885 Hi-Wall breech load single shot in a .45-70, sweet shooter and really surprisingly accurate

You are so correct. As long as any Dog is polite & respectful there is no coming on too strong. I do know that if anyone does get carried awy they are given hints by the others...a very cool pack of Dogs

.... and in sand....

That is what is great about this place, everyone is nice. A rarity on the internet.

Yea...the more we talk about the more I like the Brotherhoof being on it

The BIG DOG.... LOL

kinda funny how quickly you get comfortable here. i learned about the JYD and stuff and when i picked up the BDLE with rainwalkers number on it i let him know without hesitation. such a wealth of information and good people here, i like it alot <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

i like the long live the brotherhood of the yard idea <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I do like that in your face kindof approach <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

But where is his bourbon? LOL

Bors - it's just cost prohibitive to re-barrell etc... it was rough when I bought it 12 years ago

That one is actually easier said than done but I'll be glad to work something up and send it to you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I think the "Long Live The Brotherhood Of The Yard" would work great around the edge too. The logo already looks so good, it doesn't need much to look great already! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Brotherhoof?

Dogs don't have hoofs

brotherhoof LOL

I think he had a bit to drink

I like the one I did better... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

kinda funny how quickly you get comfortable here. i learned about the JYD and stuff and when i picked up the BDLE with rainwalkers number on it i let him know without hesitation. such a wealth of information and good people here, i like it alot

I agree Pvt Snoballz - everyone here is good people

Sounds better than Brotherpaw <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Wow, that takes some real shooting to do unless they were really hot loads <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What do you plan on using it for...type of game? The 270 is s sweet round

Thats a neat idea...it would say it all

it was rough when I bought it 12 years ago. But I am drawn to old stuff that no one sees value in so I bought it. I hunt White Tale deer mainly, been on a few Mulie hunts

I actually have that version for ScrapYard. It was used at Blade as the back drop

i say the regular logo , with a chainlink back ground , and a "long live the brotherhood of the yard" around the top edge and a post count at the bottom with a year.... fairly simple patch .... with 2 dog father style out lines crossed under it... or s5s...

I don't know it might not be to bad if you include the secret paw shake and the tall fury poohba hats.... LOL

oh wow! lol
i think itd be a pretty badass patch...dotn have anything to put it on though...unless its a velcro back then i can stick it on my remora..

Yeah the dog looks even more vicious than the rat..

Patch slogan idea:

Those who know trust in THE YARD

ooooo we get hats! no one told me we got hats!

how about a knife killing the energizer bunny and writing saying only a sykco knife outlasts an energizer :grin just kiddin

I like it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Patch Slogan Idea # 2:

When all others fail you (and they will) look to THE YARD

Patch Slogan Idea # 3:

There are 3 constants in life: Death, Taxes and THE YARD

That one is actually easier said than done but I'll be glad to work something up and send it to you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I think the "Long Live The Brotherhood Of The Yard" would work great around the edge too. The logo already looks so good, it doesn't need much to look great already! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> [/quote]


That would be great but dont go to any fancy work, use a pencil and a scrap piece of paper Thanks

They do when you been sippen and talking <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

A Minatar Dog.....now that's scary.

The yard when failure is not an option....

Patch Slogan Idea # 4:

"We sell knives by The YARD" or just "Knives by THE YARD"

It could be a play on words with a picture of a reel of steel with a knife blade at the very end and a dog chewing on the reel of steel. Kind of like a dog chewing on a garden hose

LOL

Is that what they call a ScrapYard Dog who is a father down south ??? HA HA bad I know

oo i like it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

OK.... LOL

so long as noone pulls out a saddle...

That is good

I may need to do more than one patch with this creative group

You could habe a dog hacking an engine block in half with a big ol Dog Father.

then underneath

"Nothing is Tougher, Scrap Yard Knives"

That one is actually easier said than done but I'll be glad to work something up and send it to you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I think the "Long Live The Brotherhood Of The Yard" would work great around the edge too. The logo already looks so good, it doesn't need much to look great already! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> [/quote]


That would be great but dont go to any fancy work, use a pencil and a scrap piece of paper Thanks [/quote]

Will do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> It's hard to give up good ole pencil and paper sometimes, although so much is done on the computer these days, I go back and forth with how I do different things, and sometimes I use a little of both. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

got it you dumpster diving with your feet hanging out/knives all over on the groun/ a few dogs hangin out sniffing at the knives and one dog with the face of your logo grinning(or drooling) with a scrapyard knife in his mouth facing you by the dumpster

Knives are a Dawgs best friend...

or

Scrap Yard Knives are a Dawgs Best Friend

Soo you hven't been to an induction meeting at Blade have ya...oh yea thats the Hogs

Klink and ColdOne we should have a paw shake <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

In yard we trust

I lov it but it may infringe on logo/trade mark

LOL...very good

thats a cool slogan!

Those who dare trust the yard

so are the patches gonna be velcro or iron on?

Some of them need to be stick-on.....use it for a bumper sticker.

This might be a bit too in your face or unprofessional but how about.............. a picture of a male dog lifting his leg urinating on some competitor's knives ? with the slogan

"Those who know trust in THE YARD" or

"Those who know choose THE YARD" or

"Smart dogs choose our YARD"

Looks like I'm late to the party. Can't think of a logo.

Dogs I will need to sign off and go pick up my daughter from a football game

This was fun and very insightful. Please do not stop with the conversation.

If you like this Sip N Talk I'l set up another one and give it more time. Any ideas on what topic we should start with...let me know

Thanks again and have a good evening

Dan

Actually HD when Dan first mentioned it the first thing that came to mind was your avatar

...my dad just showed up with a sealed bottle of blue label.
it was a gift.









...who likes him that much???? lol

well if its gonna be 250 posts to get a patch and i dont get one i dont care guys cuz i will always be a proud member of the pound fellas,and it goes without saying that im [censored] glad to have gotten too know all of ya

You just need to drink more.....

See Ya later Dan. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />



The wife is calling me for super so I gotta go too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Then I gotta get back to work... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> You guys have fun! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

okay i'm in!

thought i was gonna kick it with my sisters boyfriend who is in town for a conference. i was gonna joke him about my family sells cows!!!! looks like it will have to wait until thanksgiving at the table!!!

what a great gift.... is he going to share with you???

Just head on over to the death chat. you'll get there in no time..

Heck yeah boss, itd be interesting to have these on a monthly basis or so.

...i dont know.





....he's in the wholesale liquor business so probably got it from work..

ironically he isnt much of a drinker. and im not quite 21 yet so he'd probably say no just to seep it sealed.

It'll keep for you.... maybe a 21st B-D present... if you're lucky

See you later Dan

honestly, i just want a G19 and my CCW lol

as it is i have a rock river lower half and 13 Pmags but no upper :[ or ammo :[

also a good choice

thank you i just might have to do that. well guys its been good talking to ya but ive gotta sign off ive got prior engangements that must be fullfillED have a good night everyone

im gona sign off for now...ill be on at like 4 am im a night owl O_O

later fellas..

g'night gents

My patch preference would be just the logo, possibly with "300K" but no other wording unless embroidered JYD numbers. Make it simple and easy to recognize.

okay caught up now.... i good with a SYKC patch!!!!

i say that but i like stuff that is used...



i'm thinking custom logo printed strops!!!!! maybe 300,000+ and going strong or something printed on them... JYD numbered strops might even be cool.

man im looking for a good new strop....

I've been tempted to order one of these, but haven't:
Amazon.com: Kohl Strop with Clamping Screw Belt

Of course, there's no Scrap Yard logo on it.

PvtSno--Get a Bravo Co. upper, and BCG, and you'll be GTG. 600.00 If like me at the moment, money's low. Good Luck.

just got here.......what did i miss? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wow,,,, Am I late or WHAT?

quite a bit, the bottom line is that there may be a Scrap Yard Knife Co. patch coming on its way to celibrate the recent 300,000 post mark. But there will probably be a minimum post count to be able to get one. No word yet but it looks like itll be 250 posts.

wow you late guys are making me feel sooo much better! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I know I missed Dan but I think I have it.

Everyone remember the original Star Wars posters? The princess at the feet of Skywalker with the sabre raised above his head?
Do the same thing but with the Bussekin animals.
Have a Rat and a Hog nelt down with the Dog raising a Dog Father knife above his head while having each foot planted firmly on the heads of the other animals. LOL.
"BUSSEWARS, Revenge of the Scraps".

well at 2100 posts i qualify!




<---2100th post


you guys would be surprised how easy it is to reach JYD around here. talk guns and knives and then post pics of guns in knives and then look at other guys guns and knives. cool food pics and gear discussions... the yard is a great place to hang!!!!

me too

That scrapyard patch sounds like a great idea.

I'm working on it

Sorry I missed it, Dan. Ended up working late. I like the thought of a patch. How about "SYKCo Dog Yard" text in some cool crazy font with a knife hilt and a lightning bolt for the blade, with your dog logo?

I've been trying to get on for the last two hours! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Sorry I missed the Sip'N Talk. I tried!

Sigh.

Oh well, the patch sounds cool. Talk to you guys later! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Move to Indiana. You can get your permit when you're 18. I did. No tests or anything, just have a clean record and pay the fee. You can get lifetime permits here too. You can also carry open or concealed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I always thought it was funny that at 18 I carried a loaded gun legally, but being under 21 I couldn't buy ammo for it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

There are LEOs here that are in the same boat.

I just thought of the grand daddy of all slogans:

THE YARD
Brotherhood has it's priviledges

I love this quate, should be on the patch!

This works really good too.

I like this one too. Hmm, some really good ones to think about.

And brotherhoof--a new line??? I can see it now, a hoarse of death....

The collector series <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yes, and a window decal!

Dogs I will need to sign off and go pick up my daughter from a football game

This was fun and very insightful. Please do not stop with the conversation.

If you like this Sip N Talk I'l set up another one and give it more time. Any ideas on what topic we should start with...let me know

Thanks again and have a good evening

Love this time of the year with football getting started. I love the sip'n session idea, I will have to make it on time the next time though.

I REALLY like "Long Live the Brotherhood of the Yard". This forum and its members are like no other - really a Brotherhood! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

[censored] i spaced it out !

Don't feel bad - my neighbor came by to visit, which cut short my time here tonight. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Me too- A friend called and wanted to watch a movie so I had to bail earlier than I wanted. Hopefully, there will be more of these in the future. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It was fun.

I missed also, I like a big window decal idea though

Oh, got it! A MEAN (of course) dog riding the Scrap Yard Trike. And underneath "300K and still going" Heah for me, I got it, I get mees a Knew Knife! Oops, wrong thread <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Just got home from work and I'm 3 Shiner Bocks into a six pack. Sorry I missed out on the discussion. I like the patch idea and I think 250 posts is a fair amount but since we're talking 300,000 posts then why not make it 300 to qualify. Just makes more sense to me. I must admit that I was glad to read Dan's suggestion of 50 posts because that would qualify me but I don't feel that I've contributed nearly enough to the forum. It would take me forever to reach 250 posts or 300 for that matter given my rediculous schedule. It would be nice if we could have more of these discussions in the future. Almost my bedtime, have a good day, dogs!

It expresses "the essence of the yard" or what makes the yard the yard.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That sounds good to me, too. This is a special place to me. It has a different feel than all the other forums I post on. It is a brotherhood.

Hey guys, am I late?

I just got here.

I like the jolly roger patch idea!

Right on Brother! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

wait, wait, hold the presses ! This is the best patch slogan idea ever:

THE YARD
Brotherhood has it's priviledges


Now someone creative come up with some graphics to add to the patch

How do you like those? Kroger had them on sale today for $6.99/six pack. However, when we were over at Liquor Outlet last week I passed on buying a case of Spaten Oktoberfestbier and have been wishing I hadn't. So, I bought a 6-pack of Leinenkugel's Oktoberfest instead -- it's not the same but it was there and so was I, so that's what I went with. beeradvocate.com seems to rate the Shiner Bock as slightly better than the Leinenkugel's Oktoberfest, but the types are different enough that since I wanted a Märtzen, a bock probably wouldn't satisfy.

The Spaten ranks better than either, and I may buy some next week when I head back over to Louisville; I'll definitely be taking my two growlers to refill from whatever they're featuring on-tap. I'll also be looking for Van Winkle bourbon, which I recall seeing there, and my Mom wants a case or so of pumpkin ale if it's in.

The patch sounds cool-I will take one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />- BUT-I want another SY knife <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Patches are nice- but I NEED another SCRAPPER <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Too bad I missed it I do like the patch idea though

im down w/ the patch idea...
****
albeit a day late & a dollar short

Missed the chat last night. Was helping a buddy evacuate his house
due to a forest fire coming up and trying to burn it down.

Getting my place ready to go. Got 3 forest fires within 20 miles of my place
right now. Just took a break to check on things.

I like the "Long Live the Brotherhood of the Yard" logo.
Have it under a couple of crossed Dogfathers to make sort of a triangle
and have a Pitbull in the middle of the triangle. That would be cool.

If you wanted to get a little "assertive", you could use something like my
sig line "Don't mess with the Pack" or something like that.

Cheers

good luck DotD!!!

Hope all will be OK Dave <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Keep us posted <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm ok here. Just doing the evac stuff as a prep only.
The fire that's the most threatening has to go through two industrial parks,
a wildlife park and a suburb before it gets to me. All's cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

The first industrial park has a propane storage facility that has about a
million gallons of propane stored. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

The firefighters know this, and are working very hard to make sure that the
fire doesn't reach it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Next door to the propane storage facility is the city's main liquor
distribution facility. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />
So for sure, the fire won't make it to me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It may be on the lame side but I only had a few minutes to play with the program.
Just one idea.

I like that! What about doing the same thing on a shield? It would look like a cut away of a convex edged knife blade. I understand this patch is all about 300,000 posts and I respect that completely. But, will those without the required number of posts be able to purchase one? It's a cool idea either way, just wondering. I think it would be awsome if it were small enough to put it on the pocket flap of a combat master sheath, and the bumper sticker idea I read is awsome too.

JT

That is brilliant. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Can I have permission to grab that and put it on my desktop?

Anyone who used to play the game "Fallout" might be reminded of an organization named "The Brotherhood of Steel".

Dave - you and Recon1 both have a couple of great ideas! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

im liking recon1's post!!!!!!!

Dang it. I missed this. Sorry Dogs.

So far it seems that the original Dog logo and the "Long Live the Brotherhood of the Yard" slogan are preferred across the board.

I prefer my patches like my blades. Less bark, more bite.

Great job on the logo Recon1, I think that is an excellent attempt. I really dig the pentagon.

As a Fallout fan, I remember the Brotherhood of Steel. They were a group formed to try and bring civilization back into control after the chaos of a nuclear war. I believe it is the Brotherhood of this nation that has kept it blessed for so long, I pray we never lose that spirit.

Here's an idea, keep in mind that it's workable:

I agree, this IS a kind of setting in front of the fireplace sort of place, where everyone is friendly and wants to help. And although we are all of varied backgrounds and countries of origins and races we are all the same, we are members of the humane race and we just let all that other stuff get in the way. I took this last sentence from another post of mine. SY forums DO have a special FRIENDLY feel to them, like no other place I visit. Thanks Dan and all the moderators for setting the standard so high and making this such a special place.

You're making my mouth water. I really like the Shiner. It's pretty much all we drink here in Texas. It's a German style beer company and they've got a few different styles out now. I would like them to come out with an Oktoberfest, I know it would be excellent. I personally don't pay much attention to those rankings, I just drink what I like. I'm also not too picky in that regard. You won't be disappointed.

Long live the yard!

RECON1 THIS IS SWEET!!! GOOD JOB <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I LIKE THIS TOO AWESOME JOB ART!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The patch idea sounds very cool! I really like some of your ideas! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Sorry I missed out on the Chat. I think it is very cool for Dan to stop by from time to time and have a little chat thread. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

My wife's aunt passed away last week.

Friday was the visitation and Saturday was funeral and family gathering. So, I missed out.

Oh well. Some cool ideas.

I am like Jeff. And why I haven't really put forth much effort in the knife design competitions. ... That and the fact that by the time I saw there was a competition here and on the Swamp Forum, the Busse forum had been going strong for a LONG time and already posted a few hundred ideas.

Anyway, I express my ideas WAY better in drawing (photo-shop) than via verbal description. I have mentioned before that a LARGE part of many ideas gets lost in translation.

I have mentioned in the past, but I don't understand why there is such issue with ideas and designs being posted on these forums in picture form. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

-------------

I had previously typed:


I seriously disagree with Jerry's view on this. I can appreciate that some industry's including the knife industry have gotten to where design is everything to their "Branding". But, customers help design products ALL the time.
Customer input has driven production of goods FOREVER!!! And it should!

But, if limited to only being able to provide design input via written or verbal suggestions, there is WAY TOO MUCH left open for interpretation. It is often just way too hard to describe certain details. Knife design is such that "LITTLE" details and nuances of the designs are often a significant part of the design that can be too hard to describe in writing or verbally - unless making a simple obvious change such as No thumb ramp or similarly simple. But, that is not often the case.

I have a significant history in sales and management and an appreciation for ACCURATE and CLEAR communication.

Unfortunately, with something like knife design, I feel actual in hand proto-types are FAR and AWAY the best option. But, that isn't very realistic or practical for most of us. So, Second best is EASILY pictures, drawings and/or photo-shoping.

As long as it takes me to photo-shop a concept, I can often put together a phot-shop picture as fast or faster than typing out a detailed description.

And "pictures" are still much more "CLEAR", more accurate and easier to understand method for conveying ideas.

There is just too much room for mis-interpretation in written or verbal descriptions of many things.

Without such clarity, things like the following can (and "DO" OFTEN) happen:



Same concept, different industry application:




...... anyway... I would think my FULL disclaimer giving FULL rights and entitlements to design would be sufficient... But,.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />


.

+1 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

If I post it online it is fair game and free to use.
I hope Dan won't mind that I changed the Dog just a bit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I can't help myself. Got a few more just for fun.

You know...We'll need something to wear the patch on. Where am I gonna put it?

I was planning on using it either on my Maxpedition Jumbo or my Camelbak Motherlode. Hopefully both <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

One more and I promise I'm done:

Love the Pirae flag theme with the JYD on it.

+1 on the Maxped, Camel Back and anything else I can get it on. I would even buy one of those hats that you can velcro patches on if I can figure a way to afix it.

Any of them would go good stuck to my MOLLE packs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

OH man what a great dad. How much of that did you drink after I dropped off?

BY the way Boss Hog just showed up tonight with a bottle of Pappy Van Winkles, 20 year old bourbon....I now have a new favorite <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Dan

I had no idea that you were this creative

Very Cool

Dan
