Well, I think I must be a Kill Bill addict. I have grown ever so slightly obsessed of late...

And as such, I won my eBay auction last week, and it arrived today:



God bless eBay.

No.

This sword looks like it could cut your finger in half...not your whole body...

In Germany we recently had a case where a man murdered a woman with a Samurai sword because she rejected him.

I don't like people who adore weapons.
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Nice, I was thinking about doing the same. How much did it cost?

I got myself a Pussy Wagon Keychain in the mean time.

A friend of mine got a pair of swords like that for $15 from ebay. I'm wondering how long it lasts before rusting.

If they are even made out of metal... $15... that's crazy...

It cost me �25, bargain I thought.

It has a really nice weight to it, and the blade itself is sharpened, and could do some serious damage I would have thought. Obviously it isnt as authentic and high quality as a well made katana sword, but for the money it really is cool.

The wicker chair isnt mine, and it is located in the bathroom!

I guess.. swards and guns are something I've always stayed away from.

But now with all the crazies out there, I'm considering purchasing a pistol and tossing it in a lock box...

You never know what's going to happen, but statistically, I'm more likely to get shot with my own gun then actually shoot a burglar.

i know this sounds weird, but could you show me a picture of the sword's blade rather up close?

I cant take any more pics at the moment, as I am visiting my folks over the weekend, and wont be back at my house until Monday. Will do then, though, so keep your eyes pealed!
