JUST KIDDING, I KNOW IT'S STAR WARS!

I was about to kill you for that one! ^o^

I would love to have had those light sabers! ;_; I can't believe you got rid of them! =O Oh well you got a got of money for them!

Yeah, I really wanted to keep them too. The only reason I picked them up was because: 1) How awesome they look in the dark, 2) My ex-girlfirend wanted one since she is one of the biggest Star Wars geeks I know, 3) I wanted two (Red and Blue) because Dual-swords are badass.

... Yes, I took the green lightsaber back (along with other things) after I broke up with my ex. sweat

That's so cool that you fence! My sister used to do it and it looked really hard.Congradulations! :yaay:

Cool! Old fashioned duel to with ...what is the thing i'm looking for? XD

by **Nachtsider** Tue 4 Mar 2008 - 16:02

If it's the swords you're talking about, U, they're called rapiers.

by **Triela** Tue 4 Mar 2008 - 19:46

It's it called a foil? (sp???) ^_^;;

by LoC978 Tue 4 Mar 2008 - 20:03

there are several different types of fencing sword. The Epee and Foil (the Epee being a more modern design) are the most popular for sport fencing... rapiers were the most popular sword for duelling and self defense (of noblemen, anyway) during the Renaissance. The only sword of that style that I own is an Estoc, which isn't made for fencing at all, but for war. It's quite heavy and rigid, and is designed to peirce breastplates or slip between links of chainmail.

by **Triela** Tue 4 Mar 2008 - 20:08

That sword is soooo cool!!!! The closest thing I own to a sword is my light saber. ;_; I really want the Master Sword and Legolas' white knives... <333

by LoC978 Tue 4 Mar 2008 - 20:40

thanks

guess I'll post all of 'em again ('cause I have nothing better to do... and the old post is waaaay in the beginning of the first spam thread)
gonna be a lot of pictures. bandwidth challenged users beware:

Spoiler:

hmmm... Link's Master Sword, huh? One guy had a replica forged, but it was bloody expensive!
as for Legolas' fighting knives... they're being produced, but I haven't seen 'em for sale yet. They're supposed to cost $260 when they hit the market.

by **Nachtsider** Tue 4 Mar 2008 - 21:17

With prices that steep,I might as well buy meself a gun.

by LoC978 Tue 4 Mar 2008 - 21:34

yeah... they aren't cheap. my Heron-mark cost about as much as my CZ-75, and my Estoc not quite half that. The rest of my blades each cost me $75 or less. But I like having both firearms and swords available to me. If I ever have to use 'em at home (which is possible, this may not be NYC or LA, but I don't live in the best of neighborhoods), the blades are easier to access, and I can do so in the space of a few seconds. My guns aren't so easy, but if I have the time...

by West Nile Tue 4 Mar 2008 - 21:34

im still underaged *sob* i can't own anything that kills... my foil (it's called a foil) is the closest thing i got, my dad's got a hunting riffle and a WW2 style cutlass but the sword's in a glass case and the riffle is locked up

... I've owned things that can kill since I was but a wee lad. butterknives, steak knives, boat oars, screwdrivers, keys... hell, you could kill somebody with a pair of nailclippers. The weapon is less important than intent, will and knowledge.

...totally ruined my stir-fry, the bastard.[/empty boast]

by Guest Tue 4 Mar 2008 - 23:59

'r you sure it wasn't teh stir-fry that killed 'im?

That's a cool sword collection btw. You could add a wakizaschi to the katana and you'd have yourself a daisho.... then all you'd need is a samurai armor.

p.s. West Nile, you've still got it pretty easy if all you need to get a weapon is to be of age. I'm actually not sure about the gun laws in Poland. Bayonets you get on the blakc market easy, but guns there's a lot of formalities you have to go through and even then there're probably not that easy to obtain.

by LoC978 Wed 5 Mar 2008 - 0:11

it's actually too short to really be considered a katana. It has a 30 inch (76.2cm) blade:
Pics (or videos, or whatever) of ourselves - Page 2 DSC00190-2

(that's held with my arm fully extended; it doesn't quite touch the floor... and I have short legs)
a kodachi was more of a civilian's self-defense weapon in those times. I've read that it was a favored weapon of assassins, as well... and I can see why. Two and a half feet of steel is fairly easy to conceal, but can really mess up someone's day.

by West Nile Wed 5 Mar 2008 - 5:04

Welcome to the Philippines... where you can't tell which one is the black market and which one is the actual mall! if i have a license (and my parents consent) ya i can splurge all my cash on blades and guns... guns are the #3 most collected item here in the country. # 2 is cars #1 is wives... but i won't even go there Laughing

by Guest Wed 5 Mar 2008 - 10:32

@West Nile: LOL So... which of those 3 are you going to obtain first once your of age? Razz

@LoC: Oh, I see. Those shots make it look quite long, but I guess that's just perspective. Real catanar really are hudge (practically flying guilotines). The ease with witch anime characters handle those things is very deceiving.

$75 seems like a very reasonable price. It looks well crafted, and you said it's stainless steel.

by Probit Return Wed 5 Mar 2008 - 11:16

Ya know, LoC, I hate to be the one to do this since it is a very nice collection, but the one isn't a bastard sword. It looks more like a Scottish Claymore to me.

Did I mention that it's a very nice collection that I would love to have?

by LoC978 Wed 5 Mar 2008 - 15:28

@Probit: the design is much like a claymore, but scaled down. the hilt is only hand-and-a-half, and the blade is pretty much like a broader longsword (32"). So... bastard sword. Hand-and-a-halfer with a slightly large longsword blade.

@Wil: I actually started at the position of attention and shifted to take the picture in my mirror (that's a reflection).

one year of initial entry training. Apache armament/electrical/avionics school is long.

by Wileama Wed 5 Mar 2008 - 22:17

Fair enough. I ended up doing an actually sword cordon while in tech school, it was pretty cool. Wait Apache training... Shit this just occurred to me. Did you go to Ft. Eustis for your training?

by LoC978 Wed 5 Mar 2008 - 22:46

yep. for nine months in '03-'04.

by Wileama Wed 5 Mar 2008 - 23:14

I was there for 8 months in '06-'07. Oh man, you where just like one of those army guys we also use to mock while driving to school...

by LoC978 Wed 5 Mar 2008 - 23:32

yup.. marching in formation to school, getting fucked with by drill sergeants every three minutes... living in 12-man bays... I think the only good thing about that place was the availability of public pools... I spent every second I could swimming.

by Wileama Wed 5 Mar 2008 - 23:47

12-man bays? Hu when I went through they said they where down to 4 to a room. I only had to share mine with one other guy. The MTL's where most certainly not MTI's or Drill Sergeants. We drove ourselves to school. Oh yeah, it was pretty easy for use to go off base. Man I love the Air Force Razz

The paint ball field was pretty cool too.

by West Nile Thu 6 Mar 2008 - 0:14

@3klicks probably start with the blades... get a gun license at 21 and start stacking my armament, no plans on the girls... one girl is good for me... that's gonna be tough though, looking for a living Triela!! my current "significant other" ain't no Triela but she's sweet though.

by **Nachtsider** Thu 6 Mar 2008 - 0:24

That's wonderful, Nile. I hope you both go far.

by West Nile Thu 6 Mar 2008 - 0:32

Ehehe the problem is she sometimes gets the feeling that i cheat on her with anime girls... you know that look when you know your girl is jealous of something? she doesn't get that when i talk to other girls but heck i need to watch my back when ever Triela is on screen :lollol:

it's not that she hates anime, she just thinks that i am capable of falling for one, she did like the "whole Elsa's unrequited love story" held my hand the entire time

by **Nachtsider** Thu 6 Mar 2008 - 0:43

I follow that bit, Nile, but what I actually meant was that I don't get looks like that in real-life. My wife and I know that our loyalty to one another is paramount; we therefore have no cause for jealousy.

Why don't you reassure your girl that she is all you want and need?

by West Nile Thu 6 Mar 2008 - 0:51

Actually that's what i say when ever she pulls that look Laughing

hold her close and tell her that i love her and that i will never trade her for a graphic animation

To get back on the subject, heres a picture of me during wrestling practice a year or two ago. I'm the one on all fours with my head sticking up and with the sweats. Me and my partner were suppose to be during drills, but I was tired that day and my partner didn't feel like coming to pratice either, so we were slacking off and my coach took this picture to prove his point that if we are slacking off he'll catch us and his point was well proven.

Hmm I know I'm necro posting but I couldn't help myself. A few comments.

1) West Nile - Sweet medals. Fencing rocks. Wish I knew how.
2) Triela - That lightsaber brings out the super-geek in me. I want one...*looks into getting one*
3) LoC - Nice sword as well.
4) As to the post above this one - I always sucked at wrestling, I went the way of basketball.

...There are an awful lot of swords in this post isn't there?... Puzzled

PS - Touka kicks ass.
