What should I spend my windfall on?

Nekkid, I just got my *2006* Tax Refund. Apparently, back in 2006 I finished my taxes, put them in an envelope, and left them on my desk. For a year. After filing for 2007, I started getting threatened by the IRS. Dropping the envelope in the mail didn't help, and they kept threatening. The best day was getting two letters from the IRS, one ( Read more... )

The axe suggestion is a good idea. Boy do we have those around.

With a longsword, I'm trying to strike a balance between a weapon that "works" (symbolically and physically) for ritual, that I can use for exercise (where I'd rather have a big and heavy two-handed sword), where the home defense sort of comes out bonus. I find that choice requires the most compromise for everything.

I'm a big fan of a collapsible baton (Asp being the common brand), but that's just because I have a thing for being militaristic.

As for a sword, you can have the replica Spanish broadsword I bought in Spain in 1967. It was old and antiqued then and is 40 years older now but it is real steal and authentic as to style. Needs sharpening if you plan to cut anything with it.

Really?! Wow, I'd totally take that. I'd even come up your way after the Tour de Tucson to pick it up.

if you're thinking of a didg, find out where Jimbu got his black and white mottled one---that is one hell of an instrument, and i don't think he had to spend $300 on it. i think that, because in general, Jim does not have that kind of money to spend. :) if you want to experience it again and make an evening around it, we could suggest dinner with him to talk didges. i'm sure he'd go for it. :)
