Thanks Harry!

Sword Geek #3 has just come out and as usual it's informative and extremely entertaining, so go have a listen it's worth it and since it seems to be a weekly thing get into the habit of checking out the most recent one.

Michael's sense of humour and narrative delivery is almost as good as classic Seinfeld in my opinion. ;) :lol: ( Now I sort of hope that Michael liked Seinfeld otherwise I guess I just insulted him when my intention was to praise him. ;) :p :lol: ).

No offense taken, Jean! I like a little Seinfeld now and again...

Hi Tinker,

I just wanted you to know that I posted a video of the Great Sword of War cutting tatami. You can see it if you check Tinker Pearce Great Sword of War Cleaving Ability with the link to YouTube in the Historical Arms Talk forum. If I keep this up I am going to have to go work for you as a salesman...hahaha! My wife still hasn't set me up on the podcast yet. She is too busy listening to the English progs on it.

Regards,

Harry

P.S. Pat on the head optional!

Thanks Harry!
I'll have to go and have a look at that.

I'm currently listening to the first episode and, it's quite interesting. This will likely become one of my favorite internet shows, if the first episode in any indication. I do wish you would have used accents of people from your area of the country when imitating the silly sword questions.

Sword GEEK #4 is out. ;) :cool:

Is it GEEKY to like the SWORD GEEK too much ......... :p Sort of being the sword geek's number 1 Fanboy: Informative and entertaining as usual. :D :cool:

Teazer quote from the podcast ........

Quote:

" some people are like slinkies "

......... go listen to hear the punch line. ;) :p :lol:

Sword Geek #5 is out and some guy called Jean from Montréal ...... I wonder who that could be. ;) :p :lol: Asked a question about sword flexibility.

A bit about Japanese Classic Samurai films and bonking on heads.

And a few other things.

From the Podcast Intro:

Quote:

On this weeks show controversy rears it’s ugly head over impacts and motions, pride and prejudice, stuff and nonsense. Also blind men go berserk and swords- and history- get bent.

If you haven't listened to the first 4 Podcasts maybe you should as it's all interesting and entertaining.

I've sort of taken over bumping this Topic each week and it seems O.K. with Tinker as I asked if it was O.K. with him, but it's my idea and Tinker really really isn't holding something sharp to my throath to force me to do it ....... :p ( He's out of the room .... quick ..... Help me, HELP ME. :eek: :p :p :p :lol: ).

DUDE! I can still read! You are SO in for it now!

Kidding.

The new website is up with more and better features... except that it's broken. The itunes button is not working and attempting to subscribe produces and error message to the effect that the requested content is not available. We're working on this now.
!@#$%&!

OK- we have resubmitted the podcast to iTunes and are awaiting approval... whatever that means. Hopefully said review will occur quickly and we'll all be right back on-track by sometime today. Why changing the website would necessitate re-applying to iTunes I have no idea; the ways of the web are not for the knowing of mere mortals like myself!

Well it seems to be working now at least for me. ;) :cool:

EDITED: Not i-tunes just the regular Safari browser on my MAC, As to i-tunes I have no idea since I don't use it at all so I can't confirm to anyone if it's working.

Podcast 7 and there is a " bribe/contest " for submitting questions: I could say what the prize is but since this is a teaser to go have a listen that would be counterproductive. ;) :p :lol:

Podcast #8 is now out, even if a little late due to Thanksgiving: More interesting questions and answers and the unique Tinker humour. ;) :cool: ( That is " Unique " in a good way ).

Even a little Time travel mentioned. ;) :lol:

Wow up to number 8 already. :surprised: I really need to get back to listening to them. *looks around desk* Der left headphones at home again :mad: all right tomorrow then
