So sharp I could cut myself...

This is just a collection of pictures of me posing with my new sword.

Unlike the swords in my earlier weapons post, this is a battle-ready sharpened high-carbon steel blade, a straight blade Japanese style, usually called a "Ninja" sword (I have no idea how accurate that association is). I haven't tested it (for obvious reasons) but I would imagine that this sword could do a lot of damage to the other swords in my collection! Make no mistake, when society crumbles, I will be armed and ready...! (Again, I ask myself why people think I'm "safe"...)

But in these pictures, I am just posing, martial arts movie-style (captions developed just now, on the spur of the moment - the poses were not planned for the comedy factor!):


"If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!"


"Let the Light of Truth be your sword!"


"And a beautifully-timed pull shot, past midwicket for 4 runs"


"Wake me from my slumber, would you!? In my day, we cut little boys' heads orf for less!"

"Something tells me, this isn't a flute after all..."

"Alien or Predator or what the fuck, I don't care - I'll still chop your goolies** off!"


** "Goolies" is slang for testicles. Technically, since the Alien was female it wouldn't have had goolies, but the humour is in the futility of such a threat when faced with a monstrous space creature!

2 things wot people said:

  1. I hate to tell you, but all those books in the background make you look decidedly NOT dangerous! :P

  2. Ah, but that's what makes me even more dangerous - a warrior in scholar's clothing!

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
