Still at it after so long.

No, though bisexual, that really isn't part of my repertoire.

Aw, how come?

I simply do not like it much, really. :)

I vote this become a thread about oral sex. It's far more interesting.

Quite so. But wouldn't knifeplay be closer to the original subject, and even more fun? :p

Sir, I hereby challenge you to a d00l! *slap* Knives at sunset!

Ah, but I do believe that the code duello stipulates that I, as the challenged party, pick weapons. :)

Thus, axe and shield. Full armour.

I suggest you run. ;)

Excellent pun! Well played!

I know this is supposed to be "Cutting ... W(hat) T(he) F(uck)?" ... but I'm going to suggest from now on we should think of it as ...

"Cutting ... WAY TO FAIL!"

Living at the knife's edge of life Baby!

I accept :D Is my axe allowed to have a pick on the back end of the head, or are we just using ye boring olde one headed battle axe?

Naturally you are allowed the pick, otherwise we would just be competing in who gets beaten to a pulp inside the armour first. Too much like hard work to be fun. :)

YES! I love my can opener axes! Now we must settle on a mutually acceptable setting. Perhaps the tower of london? It's kind of in between us.

Also, can I trade the shield for a second axe?

How about Iceland, in front of that lovely volcano? Should be secluded enough, as well as a suiting backdrop.

By all means do trade the shield. Please. I would love to be the only one with a shield. ;)

Ah. And the customary sax in addition to the axe is ok?

Though I must admit that learning that you like Dio has made me less keen on chopping you in little pieces. To few of us fans left. :D

Hmmm actually I wanted to trade te shield cause I assumed it would be wooden, which isn't neccessarily true. Imbed the pick in a wooden shield and it can be tossed quite effectively.

To respect Dio's memory perhaps we could blast Heaven and Hell and toss hipsters into the volcano together instead?

Aye. That, and assuming you touch the stuff, perhaps a toast to his memory. Or a few toasts.

And, given your can openers. Yes. The shield would have been metal. And the armour would have been ring mail only.

And jesting aside; It is good to find someone with a solid knowledge of axes and their use. I like you already.

Oh, I touch the stuff. In fact, it even touches me sometimes. It might have to wait though, as I was intimitely re-aquainted with why I don't like tequila last night.

I'm a big history buff, and have a somewhat unhealthy love for beautiful steel weapons. Odd when melded with the fact that I consider myself a pacifist, but what can you do? Me and my friends are actually in the process of planning and executing a series of gladiatorial battles this summer. The only problem is finding out how to avoid death, disfigurement, or sterilization. :D

You better be scantily clad and there better be pictures.

Nothing could be more healthy, I promise. :)
I love 'em. Though I must admit that a few knives aside, I do not have much of a collection. Perhaps because I'm even more drawn to old muzzle loaders. Preferably cavalry pistols.

Not that strange, really. Liking the shiny stuff and wanting to wage war are two very different things. Very different. Me, I'm a sadist ... I would probably enjoy conflict if I was convinced the cause was just. :(

Now, this does sound like fun! Its been years and years since I was out in the woods playing viking with sharp metal things ... but as I recall, nobody was hurt much. ;)

Trust me, you don't want that. At least not of me. XD I can ask some of my friends to pose for ya, but it might result in a severe beating :)

I'd have to say the gem of my collection is my 180 year old turkish short sword. It has some nifty engraving on the blade, and the handle and scabbard are wood with brass and mother of pearl inlay. My crazy travel aunt brought it from Istanbul for me. :)

Haha my only sadist tendencies are minor ones, and tend to be restricted to beneath the sheets ;)

And all I can say is "not hurt MUCH" is somewhat relative. Considering the toys I would say broken hands or concussions are the most likely. Oh well, 'tis all for the glory!

I used to think mine were too. The aforementioned tendencies, that is. As it turns out its just the fact that I need to feel morally justified. Naturally, one is if someone says "PLEASE make me hurt". There are other cases that work though. Such as someone hurting the near and dear. Or, I am reasonably sure, someone invading ones country.

Now, as for injuries, I seem to remember fingers getting jammed. Thumbs especially. And as you say heads taking a pummeling. Collarbones are vulnerable as well, as are ribs if someone gets really slammed with a heavy shield, say. Those things aside, its mainly bruises.
Oh. We never did allow sweeps or blows to the lower legs; knee damage heals damnably slow, and those knees are easy to do damage to.

every one is got the right to be stupid if they want to.

thats all i have to say on this topic.

When I was still in high school I had a few free periods even though our schedules were made that we shouldn't. This mean hanging out in the guidance office to "work on other classwork" also code for listen to music and write.

Counselors are so used to hearing about students cutting that the one at my school actually had a prepared speech. It's seriously sad.

My ex girlfriend had carved LOL in her arm for fun (though to be honest she was a little twisted, believed she was a vampire, liked it when I would bloodlet for her etc.) When she came into the guidance office all that she was told was to take a pamphlet.

It would appear it's become so common that the cutters looking for attention will need to step it up a notch.

Cutting off fingers will be next, a generation with only 6 fingers or less.

I'm sorry, when you would "bloodlet" for her?

she thought she'd need blood to survive so she'd cut my bicep to drink the blood, there's an awful lot you put up with when you like someone.
