"Confronted at the edge of a lake wearing a sword you say? Near Cardiff, Wales? mmmm...does the name King Arthur mean anything to you?"

"In examing the sword, was the word 'Excelsior' inscribed on the blade?"

The singing sword was named “Excalibur”.

“Excelsior” (onward & upward) was a poem by Longfellow.

Also the name of packing material made from wood shavings.

The two meanings were combined in a reading of Longfellow’s work by Bullwinkle Moose.
