X-Acto

Yeah.

Or it happens at night and they're doing everything, you know, evading motion detectors and having X-Acto knives cut the canvas out or something.

But no, it sounds like they're literally just, it's more smash and grab and just let's fucking grab this motherfucker and run.

Which feels like I could do.

I mean, that's a single overhead cam 427 Ford valve cover.

And that's just hand-carved with what, X-Acto?

I probably put the grooves in my bridge port with an itty-bitty tiny.

Yeah.

And, you know, my view is that you can't hold technology back that, you know, if you put up a roadblock, it just goes around the roadblock and squeezes it or it takes a detour and goes around and will always end up being used.

I mean, I started on Wall Street and There were people in giant rooms with Mylar paper and X-Acto knives doing what they called spreadsheets.

They were spread on tables.

And then there was VisiCalc and then Lotus 1-2-3, and it destroyed those jobs, but allowed millions to do financial models when in the past it was just the lords of the numbers at the top of Wall Street.

We've run out of paper, so we use leaves.

We still have our X-Acto blades.

We use a steady, firm pressure to cut a clean hole in the rabbit's face, use a steady, firm pressure to free its ears and feet from the leaf.

We use sap to glue the leaf rabbit to the stick and make it hop.

So when he was in the office, I was scared because there's...

He has the X-Acto blade cutting knife for architectural, for CAD drawings and stuff.

So, you know, it's a little kit.

You open it up, and it has all the little blades.

Get them cheap online.

You can get, you know, a thousand, you know, X-Acto blades for like 30 bucks and they'll last you forever.

Like I'd say buy less, but yeah, usually for about like 50 to 100 or whatever, but it's like pennies for them and put them away somewhere safe or from children or your pets or whatever.

But yeah, that's it.

I was wondering as you as you're visiting the museum, is it I was just trying to imagine what kind of emotion you were having when you're walking in and there's this big, you know, white walled room.

and things that were on your workbench and stuff, just laying around next to a bunch of X-Acto knives and stuff.

Is it a really strange feeling seeing it with a little curation card explaining what it is that you're looking at? How does that feel when your stuff is in a museum?

Well, I expected that to happen.

Yeah.

Most of my scars are from, uh, X-Acto knives.

Uh-

Oh, yeah, the classic hobby thing.
