Life Imitates, Well, Me...

...kinda:

Lethal Star Trek blade seized in knives amnesty


This horrifying five-foot weapon has been recovered by police during a knife amnesty.

The three-handled sword with a blade at either end, designed to be swung like a paddle, shocked officers who took custody of it.

Designed to be swung like a paddle? Uh, no. Morons. And if a fucking prop weapon "shocked" British police officers, then British police are fucking pussies. It's less dangerous than a goddamned lawnmower blade, you chickenshits...

Link to article sent to me by the world's most dangerous librarian. Thanks Breda!

And for the record, that's a standard bat'leth. Mine is the ceremonial bat'leth as carried by Kahless:



(And yes, that's Jake and Elwood flanking the bat'leth. I said I was a geek...)

That is all.

Forget about being a geek. The figurine of John Belushi got me to thinking . . . . there is no film which defines him better than Animal House. Looked it up . . . yes, IMDB is my friend . . . released 30 !!!!!!! years ago. Damn, I'm old.

Sci-fi could lend you his if you want to illustrate further.

In the place formerly known as 'Great Britain' they discuss knives:

"Today is a good day to whine."

Think of your children Jay! Don't you know that sword is going to jump off the shelf, slice everyone in the house to pieces and run around terrorizing the neighborhood. The police will then be forced to shoot it which will traumatize them for life. It's evil man I tell you, evil!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Cool sword; wussy bobbies.

If the bullet ricocheted off the blade, it could really hurt someone!

My bat'leth (and dk'tagh, and kershaw, and Victorinox, and...) are at your disposal, as always.

>:)

Aside to the audience: As far as our humble host's use of my bat'leth is concerned, my apartment ceiling would like to request: "NO STUNT WORK, PLEASE."
