Huge Razor for Raffle! Thanks Josh!

Well, what can I say. Josh, simply put, is a kind heated soul that seeks to help others in any way he can. I just thought I should point that out in case anyone here didn't realize it.

For those who don't know the scoop, I was talking to Bill recently (giving him some tips about razor restoration and knife making, but that's another thread) and he happened to mention the grand plan for Josh's Razor.

I'm sure everyone here (including Josh) has seen the razor by this point, if not, it's in the "Restoration" category. Check it out. Now, get this...

Josh, being the kind hearted soul that he is, has agreed to raffle the razor off to SRP members, so buy your tickets now! In keeping with the holiday spirit, as this is to be a christmas chanukah present, Josh is DONATING all of the proceeds to two wonderful causes.

The first is PFU&CoSG's. That's "People for Understanding and Care of Seagulls". Seagulls (latin Craponnacar Annoyus) if you don't know, are those birds that will mob you in the McDonalds parking lot, fighting over the single deep fried trans fat stick that you dropped on the ground. They also have terrible bowl problems, due to too much olestra. Josh is excited to be able to help seagulls, by giving them a warm bed and low fat, high protein diets, to help the endangered seagull population flourish. So the next time your windshield get's crapped on, think of Josh!

The second worthy cause is the RFGC or Rednecks for Gun Control. These devout few realize that a gross misuderstanding of the right to bare arms has turned a t-shirt loving nation into an old spagetti western. Josh's love of clothing (srp jacket, srp hats, hat collection, habit of wearing pants...), especially t-shirts, has brought him closer than ever to the gun control cause and he's volunteered to surrender all but the finest 100 of his own guns, to set a good example. The money dontated to the RFGC will promote their new sleeveless shirts, with the slogan "Disarm and Bare Arms, all at the same time!"

So may I be the first to thank Josh for his outstanding contribution to society.

Thanks Josh.

PM for tickets if interested!

How much are the tickets? Can I buy all? (I mean, I know I can, but is it fair, according to the rules?)

Tickets are 0.50$ each, since josh want's anyone to be able to afford this razor. There are 5000 tickets, around 5 tickets available per SRP member (minus Josh of course!), but if you've got the $2500, I suppose you could buy them all.

you may want Bill to make you one, but that might be a bit more.

OUCH!!! Is it just convenient timing...or did you specifically wait till I only had one arm and couldnt shoot a gun before posting this lol :w

The funny thing, is I bet you anything there probably is a group that focuses on saving seagulls....non gun toting rednecks however may by much harder to find lol.

and I DIDNT LOOK!!!! :nono:

If anyone so much as thinks about taking my razor from me, Im going to find them and tie them to a chair far away from their keyboard with all this extra sports tape and gauze I have until after the holidays!!! :D Leave my razor aone!!!! Its mine, all mine....you want one of your own...go get your wife to buy you one haha ";" Not that Bill would ever agree to undertake another project like this....of course if I ever find this razor to small I may need him to make a 16/8's at some point! :w

We're way past thinking Josh. The wheels are in motion my friend. And you can't stop a moving train. The way I figure it, we've got a small window of opportunity when we can get in, get the razor and get out without it being a total :gth mission.

I tell ya what, if you're that attached to the thing already, I'll give you a chance to keep it. I'll arm wrestle you for it. :D

I am the impulse kind of guy and don't like to wait Bill to make me another one. I want it now! I also don't like to pay more if I can avoid it.

Which brings me to the question: Only 5 tickets??? Why, on earth, would you do this? In my book this is artificial regulation.

Off to talk to Lynn about this! :rant: REMEMBER: I was the first one too say I want them all, and when all is said and done, you WILL have to sell me ALL the tickets!!!

:rant: :rant: :rant:

Wait a minute your a major liberal...I though most liberals were against capital punishment and cruel and unusual punishment, I believe beheadings fall into both catagories lol!!! :thinking:
10-31-2006, 05:17 PM

Beheadings were replaced by hanging, firing squads and gas chamber well before the liberal movement really hit it off, so we do not have an official view on them. Therefore I found a loop-hole :D

well, just taking out the thing and showing it to detainees while smiling gently is probably qualifying as torture under the Geneva Convention... or at least some kind of psychological harassment, I would think

How do you know you're even going to like the razor, Josh? Why don't you go take a look at it, then decide. :D

But Josh, you know how they used to test the dai-katana blades in Japan. It's time to revive the head-test :nj

Or maybe we can develop a new head test. You just shave someone's head. :)

Though given the size of that monster, it's likely to take someone's head off anyway if Josh's hand slips.

I thought it would look nice on my key chain. You know, always in my pocket for quick touch ups at work when the day runs long.

Well thats not totally true...I did pierce my ear with one of Bills wedges and I still have a scar to prove it lol....besides defense contracting is just one part of my job...I do lots of other stuff too :D

Josh, the point of my comment was that you did NOT INTEND to pierece your ear. I.E. the lack of faith :cool:

Just don't gain the title "experienced head-cutter" by using yourself as a subject :nono:

That's because the learning curve is very short if you test your head cutting abilities on yourself. :)

If you step back out of the straight razor world, I bet it would look VERY funny to an outsider for us to be making such a big deal out of a 1/2 inch lol

Uhm. Sorry guys. This thread was sort of making fun of Josh and isn't an actual raffle. Just want to let everyone know that barring any natural disasters, the razor will eventually get to Josh. There is no raffle and no pm's are necessary.
Thanks guys.

BTW, the heat treating sure turned the metal a nice pink color. It looks great!

Tell me you are kidding and no one actually believed that this was a real auction???? :thinking: :confused:

I think it's more that Rednecks for Gun Control and Seagulls are such worthy causes that guys were willing to lend a hand. :tu

Maybe we should start a seperate fund raiser? :shrug:

It's the black and white checked grip and the pink blade that has us hoping you'll decide to give it up.
