Artisa Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 lol, poor Artisa googled that? Naw, but seeing as in medicine the short form of "male sex with male" is MSM, I figured "F" probably stood for "Female" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Added a real Japanese nihonto blade to my collection, bringing the total to three. It's a Japanese officer's hara-kiri knife from world war 2. Just a nubbin compared to my sword and short sword, but the polish is in excellent condition. The temper line just pops out at you: There are two Japanese characters on the habaki, but I have no idea what they mean yet. Probably a name. Anyone here read kanji?

Artisa Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 This: http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/teen-sends-prank-dead-body-text-to-police-officer/ Aw, kids. Sometimes they struggle to keep themselves occupied. Those little brains of theirs are so active. Those not yet fully-formed emotional avenues of theirs are not quite fully paved. So they like to play pranks. Like, for example, sending random texts to people saying they've hidden a dead body. One 15-year-old girl in Northern Arkansas tried this little jape and the random number happened to belong to someone whose sense of humor was occupationally impaired. For this person happened to be a police detective. The Associated Press arrested this tale and said that the girl, from Rogers, Ark., had texted: "I hid the body...now what?" You might wonder what caused her to anoint the digital world with such words. Well, she reportedly got the idea from something she saw on Pinterest. Imperfect Parent reported that the Pinterest post read: "When I'm bored, I send a text to a random number saying 'I hid the body... now what?'" I had no idea Pinterest could be quite so uplifting. I had no idea that if you go on Pinterest you can find suitable subject matter for random dead body texts. Perhaps Pinterest should make an ad campaign out of this--something along the lines of "We'll make your dead day come alive." In this instance, the police seem to have started an investigation, so were more than mildly annoyed. But they let the girl off with a stiff talking to. Such is the random nature of life. One minute you're a normal police detective. Then you get a lead to what might be an exciting murder. Finally, you discover it's just some kid larking around. Serendipity can be so mean.

Zoom Rabbit Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 British pattern 1907 bayonet for the Enfield rifle. This one has markings indicating that it was made in 1918, for the first World War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 It occurs to me that I've never posted the actual swords that I use to keep the yard trimmed. With both bamboo and blackberries to contend with--the nastiest weeds known to man--I use only high quality Chinese made samurai swords, high carbon steel with full tangs. Both these blades are forged in Longquan, China, and they have been redecorated and re-tied by myself. My katana. It has a Damascus steel blade with a differentially tempered edge. My own decals, for style and swagger. A handle tied by a digital rabbit. This is my wakizashi (short sword.) The guard has been removed so it can be worn flat; it can be used as a machete when I go hiking. All black, tied with OD green parachute cord marine corps style. Semper fi. Something you don't see every day: a blued sword. It's actually not hard to do--just be careful with the blueing solution, because it's dangerously acidic.

Artisa Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Ooh the black sword is actually quite sexy - getting a whole "evil ninja" vibe from it, but I doubt you actually use any of your swords to trim the lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 You don't know how small my lawn is. The back yard (with barbecue) with the bamboo patch in the background. The blackberries are actually out by the alley and not on the property, but I take care of them for the common good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Rabbit Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Replica British jungle carbine (Enfield rifle no. 5) bayonet. Long story: My boss and I were talking about guns at work one day, and I mentioned that I'd recently picked up a 30/30 bolt action rifle. He had about $60 worth of ammunition in that caliber, and no rifle for it, so he would give it to me. He then mentioned that he had an old British Enfield rifle, and wished he had a bayonet for it; I happened to have an old Enfield bayonet worth about $60, so I gave it to him. Bayonet didn't fit. His rifle was a rare 'jungle carbine,' with an even rarer bayonet. I did some looking around online and found that replicas of that bayonet were available...for exactly, you guessed it, $60. Determined to fix up the old rifle, I ordered one. Actually, I ordered two...one for me, as well. This is the first edged weapon I've bought online. The quality is not up to the par of an antique made to British military specs, but it is cool looking. We'll see if it actually fits the rifle when he gets back from vacation, but it looks right.

Artisa Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I have a sword collection too! Look at these beauties! Made of refined plastic, circa 2014, most probably of Chinese origin. Note the the subtle spattering of blood stains on the cutlass, and the unusual length of the of kitana blade in relation to its sheath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
