Guilty. I seriously annoyed a lot of people during my visit to the Bayeux tapestry a few days ago.

I've just read all the old ones in here and they do bring up so many memories.
...or when the master bedroom actually looks more like an armoury and your wife just likes it that way.
Actually that happened to me only last week. :lol:
...your wife is writing her PhD on a weapon related subject.
When you see the hero in the movie forge his own weapon and your friends hear you mutter: "Forge the steel damn you, don't pet it!"
... and my girlfriend back then complained about having to wait. Hah, sweet vengeance!
(Thats one reason why i ended up marrying another girl. ;) )
... when you own more shoes than your wife, because of all your turn-shoes and she doesn't complain simply because she also gets more new pairs made by you than she could ever wear.
Chased away a few kids who wanted to decorate my apartment with graffiti. As long as i lived there no new graffiti appeared at the building. The news of the madman obviously spread... :lol:
OH YES! So comfy!
Just remember to always craddle the sword in your arm when falling asleep. Otherwise you might roll over it, which i remember to be very painful, even with a blunt.

When your definition good movie fight choreography is when you quietly say to your friend, "I can take him," instead of jumping up and yelling it to the whole audience. (most of my fencing friends have done this.) |

When you've actually chased off a prowler while brandishing a longsword. I wish I had a photo depicting the "WTF moment of disbelief" on that guy's face! :lol: |

Try 13th century Braies; they are very roomy and nice; especially in summer, and without the Hosen :) |
OH YES! So comfy!

yeah, at the time all i had were wasters, so it was a little less of a concern; then again that is how i held them, and feeling one of those in the ribs has never been pleasant in any other context... :P
You know you are too far into swords when you realize your grass needs cutting and you have been more concerned with how well you are cutting tatami with a particular sword.
When you google image "sword & buckler" and YOU show up in one of the images.
This just happened to me seconds before posting this! :lol:

When your friends, entering your room ask if this is your workshop. (And deep in your hearth you know, that the answer is yes...) ;)

When you wonder why parents and peers are so against you bringing swords on campus |
I'm more worried about the train station, I only bring my sword on campus if I have to travel by train - otherwise it stays in the car if I plan to do some training after classes - and weapons - even blunts - don't go well with large crowds. Up until now nothing has happened and if I ever get stopped I'll ask them whether they would stop someone carrying a baseball bat.
I expect they would if he is dressed in a leather jacket and combat boots but if he got his teams jersey with him... An aketon & fencing mask are my jersey!
Oh and also, if you want to write something down but instead of finding a piece of paper on your desk, all you can find is some leatherscraps, needle and thread because the last thing you did there was sowing up the beltloops for your scabbard.
Though, there is nothing wrong with writing down the number of a room on a piece of leather. I hope.
