I thought those designer hankies were only for backdrops when taking pictures of your expensive knives and flashlights.

Yeah I saw that on facebook posts and pondered how come you and I didn't think to go to WalMart and buy some decorative cloth and start making high end hankys.
"Hanky's by Chance" has a nice ring to it.
Mine would be called "shop rags" lol

Being weird is weird and I like it it lights my path!!!
it lights my path!!!
I assume the designer hankies in the back pocket hanging out slightly, has the same meaning as it does over here......
As far as torches go, yes,
' that dude with all the torches '
' the bloke that can light up all his street and then some '
' the go to person in a power failure situation '
' that nut with all the torches '
' why would you pay $20 for a torch? '
' why would you pay $300 for a torch? '
' you paid HOW MUCH for that ( wife, generally )? '

Our slogan could be, Need a Hanky, by Chance?
From Caddy Shack, "I have a Hanky and a shop rag. I think the shop rag would be good for you."
We could sell em in a two-pack.

the GF found it amusing that i can't sleep soundly unless i have at least a mossberg 500 within arms reach at all times, just live your life and be happy about it.
At first they thought I was weird, just like going to work and in the break room found out that while most of us carry folders someone carried a Ka-bar and was using it to negotiate frozen pizza. After while you realize beyond the tattoo and buzz cut the guy is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. Their opinions about me changed during blackouts [we routinely blow breakers because this place was never meant to run a 5HP phase converter], or trying to troubleshoot something in a dark corner, or inside a closet. I quickly became indispensable, people start to call me the guy with the flashlight. I have since spread the disease if you would to nearby peers by buying them lights. 3AAA defiant LED lights from home depot is cheap, rip out the lousy bluish purple leds and mod decent 3500K stars in. They actually look pretty professional and resemble incandescents.... after awhile I used and carry these loaners.
By the way, if you're in the market for low cost warm white LEDs mounted to 20mm Stars in the 3000K range thats compatible with XP-G/E/L l optics, SSC Z-Power LEDs are worth a look.

OK. So having a few hundred lights and 3 or 4 batteries for each...does make me weird.
Having more eneloops than AA & AAA lights combined...does make me weird.
Having more battery chargers than knives(and I have a lot of knives)...does make me weird.
In a world where a lot of marriages end in divorce and I just celebrated 35 years with my better half...I am definitely weird. As Tommy Lasorda once said "the secret to a long and happy marriage is lots of drinking, dining and dancing. My wife goes every Monday, Wednesday & Friday and I go every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.....

As far as I know, only my mom.

My friends definitely think I'm weird for spending what I do on lights, but at night they are quick to say "can I see your flashlight" hypocrisy at its best cause during the day it's weird that I like lights.
I'm currently working a power plant outage and I showed a few of my lights to a boilermaker on site and he came in today with a olight mini baton copper so he's bit by the bug. There are people out there ( nonmembers) that don't find it weird they usually are far less vocal about it than the ones that do tho.

Some people carry an umbrella if there's a 40% chance of rain. I carry a flashlight cuz there's a 100% chance of dark every day. But I'm the weird one.
