Daniel Kim's Comments

I hate to see the 'knockout blow'. The border between hitting the head to induce unconsciousness and hitting the head to induce death is really small. This video by National Geographic shows the results of a boxer's 'one-punch knockout':

All that brain deformation tears neurons apart, causing such heavy trauma that the brain must shut down or die.
"In the clearing stands a boxer, And a fighter by his trade. And he carries the reminders. Of ev'ry glove that laid him down. And cut him till he cried out."
Those reminders are also in his brain structure.

This is sometimes seen in the window of knife shops.
The reviews at Amazon are worth reading, by the way.

"This would be a great product but was dismayed to find it has no banana slicer- that's a deal breaker. Returning today."

Some of these are just good sense. If you cut down a saguaro cactus, you are killing a plant that may be centuries old. It is also the state plant of Arizona, I think. For that matter, only the most uncivilized and boorish peasant will eat fried chicken with anything but the two hands that God gave them (special dispensation is probably made for the handicapped).

. . . and as for San Antonio, well . . .

Our great Mikado, virtuous man,
When he to rule our land began,
Resolved to try
A plan whereby
Young men might best be steadied.
So he decreed, in words succinct,
That all who flirted, leered or winked
(Unless connubially linked),
Should forthwith be beheaded.
. . . and all is right!

Why does everyone else's kids seem to get real plates and utensils, while our kids eat off of plastic with a (shudder) spork? Are we afraid that our kids will take metal utensils and turn them into shivs in metalshop class? Because metalshop was cut out of the curriculum years ago.
