I was thinking about something the other day, pretty cool. I go to a farmers market to sell my cutlery, a small farmers market. I dont make anything super unique just basic kitchen and hunting knives, some skinning knives. Very basic designs. I dress like a bum most of the time and have a rather long quasi-mohawk. I curse constantly, spit all the time, and chain smoke. I dont even try to hide the fact that Im a anarcho-socialist, nor do I hide the fact anymore that I think DDT is awesome. Frequently belittle people and resort to childish name calling, often times threatening to horribly disfigure people.
But ya see, Ive got this theory; the crazier I look and act, the better things tend to be for me. And Ill tell ya what, its working. People love blacksmithing. And apparently they love crazy blacksmiths. The idea of a mentally deranged hermit making kitchen cutlery seems to do something for people. Go figure.
