Sometimes I feel like I'm just a little too subtle in my humor

My mind is completely blown right now.

anjin what is the best way to die

this is the ideal death

there are way too many crazy men with swords in america for some reason

the thing is, this guy in all likelihood had a replica sword

they may look scary, but there is next to no threat from them

so i'm trying to think off the top of my head how many swordsman have been shot in modern america

that article is so weirdly written

The shooting happened just east of a blue Dodge pickup, registered to Richard Robles, that was parked on the north side of K Street near the DoubleTree entrance.

You can still stab someone with a replica sword. Like, to death.

What, stabbing someone with an extremely pointy metal object? Possibly repeatedly? I imagine that'd be pretty effective.

I found it more odd that they hyphenated the word "wea-pon"

why would you do that?

Hacksaw

Especially a replica gladius. I imagine that'd be pretty damn effective.

look anyone who can blow money on a replica sword for no good reason deserves to die

I wanted to make a snappy comment here, but Caddyshack just came on the Bravo channel and I'm completely incapable of fulfilling that dream.

Anjin-San

conversely, if you thought the name scheme they had was clever I'm gonna find and fucking slap you for being so fucking stupid

chrishallett83

What? There's no way to know if a replica sword is dangerous?

It's still a sword. Sure, it may not survive prolonged periods of battle, but you can still kill someone with it.

Anyway, that's beside the point. It sounds as though the female police officer in question did what she needed to do to ensure her safety, and the safety of anyone else who may have been in the vicinity.

Anjin-San

i'm not actually saying they had no right to shoot that guy

like you have the time to think about whether or not it's actually a replica

the fact there have been so many dudes running around in public with swords is just funny to me

the funnier thing being that they died with weak-shit swords

UnbreakableVow

I'm waiting for some nerd to wield a Buster Sword replica and get shot down.

replica swords are hilariously weak shit

At that point it kinda moves from "eh, that looks fake" to "holy shit he's got a ten foot long chunk of metal"

somebody else will let you off because you've been around but this really bugs me

did you think i would let you pull this foolery

With a gladius you're probably still going to get at least one or two good stabs before it goes to shit, though.

i am gonna try and sharpen this cheap sword i bought

i'm a jackass

yes, this is the worst most mouthbreathery thing to do. you gonna use the cheap piece of metal sharpened to death to have an edge it'll never hold to scrape at your neckbeard?

my rationale is that if a man in prison can turn a toothbrush into a precision shiv

i can turn a shitty forty dollar sword into a crude weapon

Oh, it'll work.

For about five seconds.

My former martial arts teacher did a little demonstration for us once where he sharpened a stainless piece of shit katana he picked up for $30. Then he cut a piece of newspaper in half with it. After that, he couldn't make a second cut through the newspaper cleanly.

Yay for cheap shit weapons.

I have a couple of shitty $25 swords too. They are mostly for cheap decoration purposes, and to make everyone go "Ooooh! Shiny!" because I spent $4 on some metal polish and the blades are like mirrors.

But I wouldn't cut a fucking sandwich in half with one of them. I like my sandwiches too much to ruin them.

Hacksaw

I miss Pk.

A big hunk of metal is pretty dangerous.

A big pointy hunk of metal is even more dangerous.

A thing doesn't have to be a "real sword" to be a big pointy hunk of metal.

one is actually built for killin' and will do so quickly

if i wanted to kill someone with a replica, i think i'd honestly just break it in half and use the crude end to off someone

MrMonroe

did you get naked as you were instructed

if not I shall become extremely cross with you

that picture is what i genuinely thought anjin looked like for most of 2007

Anjin-San

Yes, I got naked.
