Well, tomorrow you should come over and see... Ramius is coming down tomorrow night, if you came we could call it a party. :~)

...Gandalf just took a fall...

Hey... I was watching that, too. Haven't seen it in ages. The theatrical version, and the commercials do tend to lessen the experience. Oh well. Not like there's anything else on.

Plus! I think I saw Boromir actually do a couple of parries with the flat! Far out... :-)

I’m going to a music festival thingie for part of the day, but maybe I could come over for a bit at some point! I’d like to finally meet ‘em, now that they’re kind of getting to a point where maybe they wouldn’t be *totally* freaked out.

Uhng... just got home from work. Whatta week from hell. Had a big deadline, and the phone was ringing off the hook due to the sudden collapse of one of our competitors.

Gonna grab me a bourbon and hit the couch to see what happens to these hobbits.

Well, hopefully you can come help us eat this gigantic pork loin thingy I’m planning on grilling up.

We definitely need some non-firearms materials for some other night of the week.

This isn't sharp, but it is pointy:

I replaced my aluminum version with the stainless steel one. 3.2 ounces vs 1.3. It has a real heft to it, and I think it could be thrown effectively, in addition to a pressure point/stabbing device.

I'm bored, and thinking about launching it into the ceiling over my desk, but I'd have a hard time explaining .45 caliber holes in the ceiling tiles. Maybe I'll try it in someone else's cubicle.

Now that’s a pen. That certainly bears further study on my part. Thanks for the tip, so to speak.

*yawn*

I should be working, but I'm having too much fun making fun of Joe Biden.

What a dumb-@$$ pick.

Sounds like your group has arrived at a suitable balance of safety vs realism in the sparring rounds. The idea of getting whacked continously with a heavy wooden stick sure would separate the posers from the afficiandos in short order.

The lore of the weaponry of the past is quite strong in some, it’s a fascinating look into the way things were once upon a time.

Morning Corin, yep, on the drive home yesterday, one of the local bumper sticker printers was supposed to have been printing up the ones with “and Bayh”. That was the big scoop, guess it was a plant unless the caller couldn’t read it upside down and just got it wrong.

Well, we guess there is some sad faces in Topeka this morning. The local talk shows were all talking about ‘will it be her?’. Some thought it would be a good idea, get her out of Topeka. :-)

I’m going to clean out the garage. Should I pack my stuff up here first?

You know where my new room should be...

I really can’t believe he picked Biden. Biden brings NO appeal with him. None.

Obama-Biden....it’s a lose-lose deal!

*Sigh* I espied a welfare chipmunk chowing down on Miss Cat’s expensive prescription food this morning. Gotta plug up some varmint holes.
