What ho! and well met! Brianna is now, more than ever, verily pleased with the turning of the season to speakest in thy holiest of tongues: third person, Renaissance Faire.

Spexxvet voted "other". HE FINDS FLINT TO BE AMUSING, ENTERTAINING, AND INTERESTING, BETIMES. Spexxvet asks what is love, what is hate?
Dost third person posting requireth archaic, nay, obscure utterances?

And if Spexxvet restraineth you with shackles of chinchilla, and taketh thee to a dungeon?

dar thinks that Flint cares too much whether and what others think of him.

oooooookay.
I got a nice 2 pound, 12 ounce flint two weeks ago and I really like it. I broke off a piece the size of my thumb to give to my friend. The piece he had for his flint and steel kit was sharp but thin and small, and broke so easily that he would soon have too little to strike a spark. I will probably break up the flint into pieces smaller pieces and get some sections of 1/4" steel stock to make up some firemaking kits for the scouts. I made a mass of charcloth the other day, too. Now all I have to do is get hold of some oakum, although I could make do with some shredded/untwisted sisal. That third person thing weirds me out. Let me know when you're all done.

Flint: You're entirely too much wo/man for me. I can't take it. I'm lighting myself on fire whilst being launched, via catapult, to the moon because I'm overwhelmed by your presence(s) on the Intarwebnetutronicle. Forsooth and verily, bitches.

worthy of comment
BigV has identified the correct "flint" for which I am named, IE the rock. Specifically, when used to make Native American arrow-heads. I'm sure you all care.

I have kept my eye out for some found materials, but much of the rock I have seen around here is basaltic or granitic (I'm not a geologist, as you can certainly tell), but I'm sure if I visited some other areas, perhaps rocky riverbeds, I could pick up some nice jasper or agate pieces. Those would be hard enough to do the job too.
