FAQ

1. I think your stuff is funny. Can I share with other people who might also think it's funny?

Yes! Please do! You can even share it with people who don't think it's funny. 

Just do me a favor and make sure you include a link back to the site (clawofknowledge.blogspot.com or www.clawofknowledge.com), and that your sharing is non-commercial in nature. (See my Creative Commons license, at the bottom of the right column, for more info).

2. I made your stuff into a t-shirt. I am wearing that t-shirt now. Is that okay?

Yes. Please continue to wear your clothing. As for making t-shirts, posters, mugs, or full-body tattoos, you're welcome to do so in a non-commercial fashion, so long as you follow the guidelines in #1 above.

 (Also, you can purchase things from the site on my Zazzle store!)

3. Were you in the Coast Guard?

Yes. It's come up a few times.

4. Really?

Yes. Really.

5. Cool.

Pretty much.

6. Do you actually get questions, or is this FAQ just a ploy to make your blog seem popular?

Yes! I mean, yes to the first part. I do actually get questions. If you have any, you can send them to clawofknowledge[at]gmail[dot]com or message me on my Facebook page.

 7. How do you make your drawings?

 I draw them all in PowerPoint. Turns out all those days I spent making briefs in the military left me with a usable skill. Who knew?

 8. So you're not like a for-real artist?

 I took art until 8th grade. So I totally am.

 9. Why is your site called "The Claw of Knowledge?"

 I'm surprised this wasn't higher on the list. Why didn't you ask sooner?

The Claw of Knowledge refers to the claw shape some people bend their fingers into while speaking in public. I did this a lot in college, and after a while, my friends (at least, I think they're my friends) called me out for it.

10. Do you accept donations?

I was really hesitant to include a donate button on my site, so I hid it all the way down here. I enjoy making the Claw of Knowledge, but it does take a lot of time and effort. If you'd like to support the page, you can use the button below.

Five awesome facts about the Coast Guard

Image
I used to be in the Coast Guard, and I’d always get a lot of questions whenever I’d walk around in uniform. Questions like “How long have you been in the Air Force?” and “What time does my train leave?” These were all important questions, of course, but I rarely had the answers. "Uh...sure." Sometimes, though, people would realize I was in the Coast Guard, and they’d ask me questions about that. Most of them were pretty basic – “Is the Coast Guard like the National Guard?” “Is it really a part of the military?” Others were more complex. “Do you deploy to Iraq?” “Do you literally just stand there and guard the coast all day?” Much like how the Air Force is literally just a force of air. To answer (some of) these questions, I decided to put together a quick list: FIVE AWESOME FACTS ABOUT THE COAST GUARD

Don't Get Pepper Sprayed (It Sucks)

Image
Imagine for a moment, during a Tex-Mex meal gone wrong, that someone squirts a packet of hot sauce into your eyes.     This is how it feels to get pepper sprayed. For the first few seconds. Then the real stuff kicks in, and it’s more like they doused your face in boiling grease. "NO SERIOUSLY, DO YOU PRACTICE THAT IN YOUR SPARE TIME?!"

My College Wouldn't Let Me Look At My Food

Image
When I was 18, I joined the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (yes, that’s a thing). It’s similar to the Naval Academy or West Point in that it’s one of the four federal military academies. You go there, train for four years, and enter the service when you graduate. I won’t lie – none of these Academies are a cake walk (okay, maybe Air Force), but I'm convinced the Coast Guard Academy's rules are the toughest to deal with. Why? Because it’s the smallest of the four – only a thousand cadets – meaning you get a LOT more scrutiny on any given day. Ranks at the Academy work like tiers on an airline. First class is highest (seniors), second class is next (juniors), then third class (sophomores), and finally fourth class (freshman). You get new priviliges as you move up in rank, each time restoring some of your basic human freedoms: firsties get to drive cars and can leave base most often. Second class can wear normal clothes, third class can wear suits and ties when they go ...
