Stopped biting my nails after 50 odd years. The sensation when they touch stuff is downright weird/unpleasant. At least I can now open a penknife.

If that's the case, maybe shoving in penknife into it isn't such a great idea. Repair Cafe probably better.

You know that badger is a nova build though. Stack of monk and fighter levels, taking out mobs by doing knife-on-a-string with his waistcoat and +2 penknife.

Look at this little guy! He wants to be a man. Aww... I wanna take him home and make a live teddy bear out of him, cuddle him so close he almost suffocates. Kiss, kiss, KISS him, I love him so much—though I'm just meeting him now, here, with you.
Hands off, bitch! I've got a penknife—I'll STICK you!

A canif is a penknife. If you’re referring to eg kitchen knives it’s a couteau.

Haven’t been posting much on here, I’ve been absolutely locked in on my Cataphracts character in a game that is about 4 weeks in now.
Jean-Claude Sartre, elder statesman, diplomat, codename Penknife.
He’s my fuckin BOI and his storyline has been crazy and is only slated to get crazier.

I'd like to share the story of a Toronto police officer who was charged with 2nd degree murder for killing a 15-year-old kid on a streetcar (Saturday night downtown on a major thoroughfare):
The kid had some sort of break and was brandishing a penknife. The driver stopped and let the passengers /2

My daughter keeps a small penknife in her wash bag which was picked up on X-ray at Disneyland Paris (we stayed on-site) & caused fuss. She's a chip off the old block though & they failed to spot my identical one. In fact their hit rate was 1:4 after repeated scanning.
I used to get my checked bags searched every single time I flew, they leave a little card saying they’ve done it, so finally I put a note in my bag asking why and they wrote on the card that carrying so many books on a flight is usually how people hide illegal amounts of cash
Bag got pulled by security at the airport so I told him before he opened it that I was carrying medicinal cannabis. 'Yeah, not bothered about that, it's your toothpaste' 🤪

He's actually not new because he was mentioned in part one as another student that Ilusha stabbed with a penknife. Lol.

I remember that case.
Here, the officer was white; the kid, 15, a recent immigrant from Syria (iirc). The kid had some sort of break, and pulled out a penknife, frightening transit riders (it was a Saturday night downtown, on a very busy street).

At the Colosseum I once had a penknife confiscated from me and held against my neck by security staff because "they are illegal to possess in Rome" which was a surprise given how many shops were selling them. (I didn't mean to bring it to the Colosseum, I'd forgotten it was in my backpack)

Things that I can't have in my luggage in Eurostar: the blade from my razor.
Things that I am allowed:
A penknife with two different rigid blades.
I'm glad it's that way round but the only justification for allowing the more dangerous blades is that they are more valuable, not because of the risk.

• I was on a coach winding up a mountain road in the Alps and it slipped off the road a little, causing us to jolt massively before regaining traction. At the time, I was attempting to half a sandwich with my friend using a very sharp penknife. Nearly cut my finger off. You could see the bone.

My 70s childhood has left the usual scars: deep cut from exploding cherryade bottle, deep cut from penknife I got as a birthday present *from my parents* , piece of pencil lead embedded in hand, deep cut from ducking (but not enough) under a barbed wire fence... Those were simpler times.

yes, BUT... Lee Sklar's Fender Jazz Peace Love bass that he customized in 1962 with a hacksaw and penknife, shoepolish and varnish is THE sexiest bass ever.

The university lab in which I worked had an accident book, as it should.
After many years it only had one entry: I cut myself with my own penknife while taking the shrink-wrap off the top of a bottle of acetone...

The Kooks. She’s so lovely. I’d rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty penknife. This is the worst record ever made. I’d listen to ‘I’ve never been to me’ by Charlene a million times above this. Worse than Coldplay. *vomits at length*

my answer is always the copy of the new testament thomas jefferson cut all the magic stuff out of with a penknife
Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
