    Fancy Dirks are for formal evening wear. That is tradition and I intend to uphold it. I have a real problem with the increasing infantilization of our lives. Are we somehow inferior, or less trustworthy, than our fathers and grandfathers? They could wear Dirks, have guns, conduct their financial affairs in private, etc., and nobody had a problem with it. Our society is turning into a giant day care center. Pretty soon we'll all be allowed to wear only jumpsuits, and have to report our movements to the authorities, and certify we've eaten our vegetables, and so forth. After all, IF IT SAVES JUST ONE LIFE, it's worth it. Right?

    Bugger it. I refuse to be treated like a child.

    Not to be confused with a fondue, which could make a right mess out of your hose.
