I've read that short swords serve Hobbits in the same way that long swords serve Men.

Yes, I am sure that proportion is the most important consideration.... Too big of a sword is just unwieldy and hard to control precisely ...

(nodding sagely) Yes, so I've heard. And there's always that dragging problem to consider.

On a side note, I have just got to get me some smiley icons. One displaying a big ol' guffaw would come in quite handy at the moment...

Good evening! I'm too tired to think about the sword debate. That was 14 hours straight working. I'm exhausted.

Sorry, about the simulacast tomorrow, it won't work for me. I am only working 7 hours, but it's the hours of 4 to 11 at night. So... and I have to be up Sunday at a decent hour to prepare for church. It may be a while until I can watch again...

I'm so tired. And driven out of my mind by having no free time. It's midnight here, I should go to bed, but I haven't done anything cool all day. So - do you think I can sleep in tomorrow? I doubt it. Oh well. Am I making any sense?
