Dude in our town opened a dagger store, and
I got hooked. My first was kinda ugly...(orange),
but he gave me a deal. Then I got the navy blue
one for friends to use. Finally got the yellow one
I wanted. Year later they were taking up too much
space, so I traded all 3 for just one big new one
which I really love.

Friend of mine's neighbor had a battle ax and a sword
and a dagger or two.
He's been put away for a long time for something unrelated
and very bad and unmentionable.
He also liked World Of Warcraft.

I'm sorry, but this subject line is reserved for all the news stories
about crazed madmen attacking people with swords, like that naked guy
who killed a bunch of people in that church in England, or the guy who
attacked his MP with a sword, or the guy in the Great Lakes region who
made his own swords and challenged a fellow bodyshop worker to a duel
to the death.

So unless you're planning to go on a murderous rampage...

... Oh, pardon me. Carry on, then.

A sword, like a bonfire, is its own excuse, and I do not have any Grey
Poupon.

I might remind one and all that KIBO was last seen with a chainmail suit.

Chainmail was designed to defeat swords. This is indicated:

I had a walking stick with a 10" inch triangular blade like that
sheathed in it. I had borrowed it from a girlfriend when I sprained
my ankle. It was cool. I got breezed by a CTA bus one day, and ended
up thwacking the side of the bus as it blew by me, shattering the
stick, leaving me with just the stiletto and a bunch of splintered
wood. I sure showed that bus not to stop for me, though! But the
unaided hoppedy limp home wasn't very pleasant.

When I was last in London I read about some old geezer who was being
hassled by some soccer thugs on the Tube. The guy proceeded to whip
out his cane-sword and start slashing away at the lads. The old man
was arrested, but was either not charged or was acquitted (I cannot
remember which), and he actually got his cane back. I cheered for
him.
