This is probably one of the biggest misconceptions about goats that exist. Even our daughters’ beanie baby goat claims that it eats garbage and tin cans! Nothing could be further from the truth. Dairy goats have very discriminating eating habits and are quite particular about the cleanliness of their food. They are very curious creatures and will investigate, sniff and nibble new things, but they refuse anything that is dirty or distasteful. Even hay and grain that they love will be refused if it falls on the ground. Actually, this is a very wise practice since it keeps them from eating foods which may be contaminated with parasites. Anyone who has tried to cram medicine into a goat’s mouth knows just how untrue the assertion is that a goat will eat anything! More>

Gil Hibben designed the knife that was used by Sylvester Stallone playing John Rambo in the 1988 movie “Rambo III”. Gil Hibben licensed the knife design to United Cutlery to make replicas of the movie knife (which, by the way, was their biggest selling knife worldwide). The United Cutlery replicas were manufactured in Taiwan and are actually about 2 inches shorter and has a thinner blade than the knife that was used in the movie. Gil Hibben still makes a limited edition, serial numbered, full sized copy of the actual movie knife. Gil’s Rambo III knives are entirely handmade by Gil from 440C stainless steel and Makassar Ebony. The serialized limited editions handmade Rambo IIIs are limited to 350 knives.

Slide the sharpened dart wire into the hole of the plastic cone for the target darts. Place the darts in the appropriate quiver. To shoot a dart, place the dart into mouthpiece, gently pressing until dart has cleared the one way safety valve ring. Hold your blow gun at a level height. Never aiming at a person or animal, bring mouthpiece up to the mouth with muzzle end pointed at a safe direction. Using muzzle guard tip as sight, sight in your target and blow through mouthpiece with a forceful and concentrated burst of pressure. With practice you can control the velocity and distance easily and accurately.
Always place the darts in the respective quiver as loose or neglected darts can cause serious injury and should be always handled and stored in a safe and responsible manner.

Everything but the background sky is built out of LEGO brand building blocks. There are a few select instances where Rev. Smith has resorted to modifying LEGO pieces with a hobby knife or permanent ink marker, but by far the vast majority of everything you see in The Brick Testament are unaltered LEGO parts from sets that date from the 1960s up to the present day, artfully recombined to form the characters and settings that make up these Bible stories.

We DO NOT recommend drinking before getting tattooed. Alcohol thins out your blood making you bleed more during the tattoo procedure which in turn pushes the ink out of your body leaving you with a faded looking tattoo that will need to be touched up. We will not tattoo you if you are noticeably intoxicated. Drunk people quite often become rude and obnoxious, move around a lot and tend to make poor decisions that they may regret in the future, like a tattoo they would not have gotten while sober.
