(with apologies to the Doobie Brothers)

But every day there’s a new thing comin’
The ways of an Oriental view
The bishop and his buddies
With his samurai sword
That mugger he was lucky that he wasn’t run through.

Sword ping!!!!!

Thanks!

Swords continue to be underrated as a self defense option. I’ll keep my guns too of course, but few things say “howdy!” like the glint of a long piece of shiny carbon steel. Not many perps will continue to want to mess with you once it comes out.

BILL: I know this is a ridiculous question before I ask, but you by any chance haven’t kept up with your swordplay?

BUDD: Hell, I pawned that years ago.

BILL: You pawned a Hattori Hanzo sword?

BUDD: Yep.

BILL: It was priceless.

BUDD: Not in El Paso it ain’t. In El Pso I got me 250 Dollars for it.

It is a good think the woman who was assaulted didn’t live next door to a Mennonite

Or a Quaker. Or an empty lot.

I liked Chevy Chase’s “Weekend Update” after the “Samurai Deli” skit.

From memory...

“Character actor Buck Henry had his head cut by a samurai sword from a drug crazed incoherent John Belushi.”

At close quarters, a good sword has some advantages: you don't have to worry about stray bullets hitting innocents, plus you have more control over how bad you're going to hurt the guy (take a thin slice off, or gut him like a trout).

A good bunch to have as neighbors, especially No. 3 from the left (Kyuzo, the master swordsman, played by Seiji Miyaguchi, who, ironically, is killed by a matchlock. (Seven Samurai)).

Back when it was good

Even then it was hit or miss.

The first time “the Bees” were funny was when the joke was that they were NOT funny.

“Well Mr. Big TV star. You have highly paid award winning writers to make YOU funny. We have this!” John Belushi tugging at his Bee costume.

Kent Hendrix, a fourth-degree black belt martial arts instructor,...

A 4th Dan and the best he can do is come up with some Chapstick?

The qualifiers must be a lot easier than what I went thru.
