Sounds like a brand of glue.

LOL

It is INSANE! It's holding powers outstrip the IRS! More permanent that a federal committee! It bonds to anything, including water!

BRANDI BOND!!!

BUT WAIT!

... it also comes with a complete set of Ginzu knives...

Ginsu knives are actually pretty good.

They ARE hard to break if you throw them... but they ARE very light and poorly balanced.

But they cut food pretty easy. I've got other blades for other jobs. And I don't throw knives... half of every knife is harmless when spinning, and it's not exactly a good idea to throw your handheld melee weapons at an enemy, IMO.

Last ditch option

Ginsu may cut, but it is an artifact, a soulless implement, and I will not conduct life affirming actions (food prep) with one.

It's dam'd hard enough to keep my good steel away from my local human beings (philistines and purposely built savages) let alone allow my minimal standards to sink so low.

ginsu. phft.

Tina wouldn't want to 'see' my aura right now...

They make excellent welding stock if you're working on a DeLorean body.

Is that what they use to cut through the spacetime continuum?

nah, i think that was an unadvertised, unauthorized use of the Veg-O-Matic, in fact, i think that's why they finally got Ron Popeil to stop advertising it. can you imagine the villainy that could have been committed if he were allowed to say: "It Slices!, It Dices!, It Makes Julienne Fries!, AND IT Even Cuts Thru The Space-Time Continuum!!!!"... "Only Three Easy Payments Of 29.95 Each!!!! Call Now! Operators Are Standing By!"

Worse yet... an Empire device known as the Ronco Salad Shooter was used to destroy the planet Alderaan, and they sold those on late-night TV for a while. The suppression and cover-up were brutal... why, Berke Breathed was forced to shut down "Bloom County" and rename it "Outland" for merely mentioning a "tragic Salad Shooter accident" in one strip.

If they're spinning, then you're doing it wrong.

And I used to be able to reliably impale a standard playing card by throwing a rifle with bayonet at it from thirty yards away. Sure, not the most sensible method of employing either a rifle with bayonet or a playing card, but it was a great way of winning bets and instilling fear in junior officers.

I assure you- the Fairbairn-Sykes travels BEST in that manner- and yes, it takes practice. And yes, you always have at least three...

Spoken like a true, carbon steel snob. My kitchen boasts Green River, Old Hickory, Tzwillinger and an assortment off my own forge that includes three cleavers and an Uhlu. Stainless is decent enough for combat, digging roots, opening stubborn tin cans and tourists- give me something girded with brass or copper and hard enough to scratch glass.

When you wear the Suit, you can style your hair however you like...



PS- Roll back from that page http://wapsisquare.com/comic/life-strategies/ one day to get an 'attack of the cutes' from Castela in Phix's arms...

D'AWWW...
*warm n' fuzzies*

Y'know, that hairstyle Tina had back then was quite a shock to the system... It took me a while to get used to it. Nowadays, not so much. I guess I'm more open-minded now...
Hmmm... I think I'm kinda liking it now.

I agree. Its seemingly only in retrospect that I seem to accept it.

Its a very handy visual device to represent the changes Tina (was) is going through.

<sigh> That suit is Super Hero status all by itself, and then Tina is poured into it; new Hair-do be damn'd.

All I need now is a five gallon bucket of Blackberry Jam.
and since I'm feeling this way, we're going to leave the seeds in...

Taz... you are 'Tinapating' again... roll up your tongue and wipe the slobber off your chin...

After the big splash, and the coming to rest on the road, my answer to you, Sir, is what he also says in reply to the pickup truck driver...
