October 27, 2007: Bloody saw scarf

This wonderfully creative scarf is making the rounds fast, including at our buddies at Neatorama, and Boing Boing.

Not much to say about it that it doesn't say for itself!

I love it!!!
LOL!

I can think of a few people I'd like to use this.... I mean buy this for.

It will go perfectly with my Freddie Krueger snow mittens.

There has to be a scarf joint gag here somewhere but I can't seem to close the deal. If Sheldon were a wood worker, he'd have a one-liner. Oops just mentioned Sheldon and wood...

I wouldn't lose my head over it.

and?

...and happily ever after.
There is much more to Sheldon than the fact that he is queer. There is a warm, open and very funny human being.

We don't seem to be really getting our teeth into this one ... maybe we are afraid that for once, the IotD is going to eat us.

i saw what u did there

I came, I saw, I concurred....

I never saw anything like it.

(check the smilies menu)

meh.

it loses it's effectiveness for me since the drips run the wrong way. I know, it looks better like this, but the ocd voice in my head says "nope, unrealistic". Yeah.. right. duh...

that kind of saw is called a misery whip.

it's used horizontally. it's awful enough that way, but to imagine that you're cutting upward is just impossible.

I've explained that I understand it's just a scarf. my bad. it's not upside down in my eyes, the blood's upside down. don't worry. its all me. sorry.

but given the cut is horizontal and the scarf is worn veritcally, it can be worn to imply blood dripping down from a horizontal cut.. You're just being an unimaginative dickhead. But there really is no need to apologize for that.

don't you have some knitting you should be sticking to?

It's only used horizontally when cutting down trees. It's used vertically when cutting that tree into boards.

And when wrapped around the neck, it goes blade-up, so the blood is flowing down.

I've gotta agree with BigV on this.

The only way to get the pattern shown here is to use the saw upside down in a crosscut mode, and that would be very awkward to do, physically.

Edit: But it is visually more appealing this way, than if it was done in a realistic way.

Thank you for the valiant defense; You sawdust-up, and responded. Though your instincts are correct, your vocabulary is wrong. That's not needling. That's a poke.

She saw what I wrote, and tried to cut me with her reply, but have no fear, the harm is offset because her words have no teeth.

But please continue to spin a yarn of puns; you're sharp and I'd love to see you rip out a few more about this dumb ol' skerf.

BigV:


Mighty fine work there sir!

I'm still worried about a saw called a "misery whip"... so many questions ...

That's funny....because I usually get hurt the most when sharp objects are running the wrong direction....not the right one.....!!


Not usually when I'm sewing....when I'm cutting vegetables.

Or chopping firewood...
lol!!!

Yeah. Misery. Look at this dude, and then imagine that instead of doing this for a couple minutes at a competition, you are doing this all day long, every day.

Edit: Actually, I don't have a point. I just wanted to post a picture I found earlier today.
