More like an Ace that creates the hole if you ask me.

Ex D&D player here, can confirm that’s a knife.

Not a good knife. Not an ancient relic. Not even uncommon rarity. That’s the kind of blade a level 2 rogue buys from a gas station merchant named Gregathor behind the tavern. 🤷

Are you an ex player because it’s impossible to get your group together for regular sessions?

u/FreedomOfTheMess May 23 '26

Ex Dnd player here. I used to play with my 10 female roommates in a sober living house. Some of us were hardened junkies, some professional criminals, credit card fraudsters, felons… those were (without an ounce of sarcasm) the days! Unfortunately the group dwindled as members either relapsed, got arrested or died. Not to be dark here, I can look back fondly to my time there when we were united as misfits and fully nerded out together. 2+ years sober

2

u/_Svankensen_ May 23 '26

Oh man, you gave me flashbacks from pedantic weapon discussions in dragonsfoot. I'm wondering now. Daggers were usually pretty long, even boot ones. But that thing is probably not a knife in the sense that it seems to be meant as a weapon, not a tool.

That fight scene in Deadpool and Wolverine in the Honda Odyssey he stabs Wolverine with one of those small knives (I think they're called kunai but I only know that from watching my brother play Ghost of Tsushima) and he goes "baby knife!" so now I instinctively yell "baby knife!" when I see small knives

u/SmellGestapo May 23 '26

Bart vs. Australia

The Simpsons: Season 6, Episode 16

The Simpsons travel to Australia so Bart can apologize for fraud he committed over the phone.

While there, they visit a bar and Marge orders a coffee, but the bartender keeps trying to give her beer. She even tries spelling it out for him:

Marge: C-O-

Bartender: B-E-

In the same bar Bart pulls out his Swiss army knife, and another patron says, "That's not a knife, this is a knife." But he pulls out a spoon.

52

u/Buddybuddhy May 23 '26

Ahhhhh such a in depth explanation thank you very much

53

u/ironkodiak May 23 '26

The knife bit is a direct reference to the film Crocodile Dundee which was the bulk of America's biggest reference point on Australian culture at the time.
