@PREPRESSHULK: TWITTERER SMASH PREPRESS COMEDY
It's been many years since I worked in prepress, but @PREPRESSHULK is giving me gigglefits: "HULK LOVE SUBTLE SPACING OF OPTICAL KERNING AND OPTICAL MARGIN ALIGNMENT!!" "HULK SURE CUSTOMER SECRETARY OR NEPHEW WITH COMPUTER SEND HULK BEAUTIFUL PRESS-READY FILE!! HULK WAIT EXPECTANTLY!!" "HULK LAUNCH QUARKXPRESS. DREAD FILL HULK OVERSIZED HEART."
Why did they want the opinion of a 19 year old teenaged boy, and not you?
Not entirely sure. But the automated voice asked for the youngest adult male in the household, so whatever.
Scrappy, that's perfect! I'm sure he can tell me which of my weapons will hold an edge and which won't. I've been looking for a guy like that for a long time now.
I know more than one person who has had their (expensive) cutlery ruined by the guy in the knife sharpening truck.
That sounds so ominous!
right?
sounds like motive in a mystery novel.
My stainless Chicago cutlery has a sharpener in the knife block. Set so that I can't really do it particularly wrong.
Also. What is wrong with my ear? It seems like I have water in it, but it started the day after I showered, not the day of. It makes me want to take a bath to submerge my ears as if doing it backward would clear it. Okay, I probably just want to take a bath. But still.
I am so tired, y'all. I don't know how to shake it. And I have so much shit to do, but I cannot make myself do it. I just want to go to bed.
Timelies all!
Gary's out of town this week, so his mom took me out to dinner tonight. whee.
Yay Dana!
My meeting this morning went very well. I'm so pleased.

Per Alton Brown, those kind of things mostly re-straighten knives, rather than actually sharpen them.
Well, a lot of times what feels like a dull edge is really a thin edge that's curled to one side or the other, so a "sharpener" that straightens out that edge can make the knife "sharper" and function better.
I hmphed at Alton Brown and went to see what the internet said, and huh. There are a lot of people who spend a lot of time sharpening knives. I did not know this.
Anyway, I am apparently content with the level of sharp my implements are. I suppose we should have them sharpened.
