Oh, yeah.

It would not have to be shaped like that.

The image and the bottle opening capability (with the key ring attachment) are all that I am interested in.

Hey guys, I was thinking about promotional items, and the idea came to mind about beer bottle openers. I don't actually need one. I can open a beer with a lighter, or a dollar bill, or a quarter. But, can anybody here make something like this? m At promotional, give away prices? I would need them at...

Why do you hate the game so much, Mord?

And I am still looking to give my crew the report on whether or not we get to have our bearded wonder back.

Plus, we are still looking for reports of super hot asian chicks.

I have been careful to stay away from this particular topic, for a number of reasons. Most of those reasons are not things that I wish to share, but one of them is that you guys are doing a better job than I did. The suggestions are great, but as yet, they could still get better. I started the card ...

All right, All right. I had really hoped that this thread would just die. I am doing pretty well, lately. Our local practice has been all about our two Crown entrants for the past three months. I am pretty sure that I have a broken third metacarpal in my right hand. I am pretty sure that Gottfried b...

Hi, Everybody, I am doing a fiction project that has an element that involves trade and river barges. It isn't a major element, but it is large enough that I want to do a little research. It's a silly little fantasy story, but I would like to get at least some parts of it right. A quick google searc...

We are running short of time.

So, I have "Peice of mind" playing.

I have candles burning

I (once again) have bitten the head off a haribo gummi bat.

Sorry, your darknessest, for the rush job.

Thorvaldr trains at the local practice, which is held in my barn.

This precludes me from having an opinion that anybody would take seriously.

But I think that Thorvaldr is going to win.

Magnus, I think you are on the right track. I tell students that the return is more important than the blow. One blow rarely defeats opponents, being about to throw the second, and the nineteenth ensures victory. For absolutely perfect form, I recommend sending a private message to Duke Paul and Sir...

I am pretty sure that my brain has suffered because of all the crap that I do to it. When I was in high school, I was tested with my IQ in the 180 range.

A steady attack strategy should be considered part of a good defense, if that makes any sense. Not for the "A good offense is a good defense" cliche` but rather because if you give somebody all day to think and act, their own offense is much, much stronger. f Yeah, that makes sense to me....

Elbow to elbow on me is 31.5 inches. I use a wooden round shield, with rawhide edging, and now with a steel rim with padding under the edging. That shield is working out to be a little heavy, and (in some ways) big for me. I am missing some things on defense that I should be catching. In other ways,...

It is a little tough to do an entire embryonic martial art via the internet. But, what you have to teach is important to the baby too. Sorry if that is a little self important and self satisfied. And, I just realized today that I completely failed to congratulate Spyder on his victory in one of the ...

I am not sure how exactly to go about saying this. I normally pride myself on good posting on the archive, but this will be rambling. It seems like the best thing that can happen at a practice is that the fighters are all concerned with getting better, and helping each other to get better. If this c...

OK, what I would like? Basically, you want a gymnasium, complete with locker room and showers. Changes to make to make it sooper cool: Make it all out of timber. it just looks cooler, like a huuuuge viking long hall. Make the lockers extra wide so we can hang our armor. LOTS of air fresheners.

Yes, that's Larry. He is one of our bikers. He rides without a helmet and we all joke that he is an organ donor with a long shelf life. It wasn't a simple concussion, but rather his head was literally caved in. The speech thing (how he always sounds drunk) is because of the injury. But that isn't so...

Freiman, you coming back stateside for a dagorhir event? If so when? I honestly don't know. You see, Dagorhir is in negotiations with Cooper's Lake to use the Campsite for their big event, called "Ragnarok". They could still foul the deal up, but it looks very much like Ragnarok will be h...

There are two answers to this question if you are getting hit too hard. Block it. Wear armor there. There are warriors, and then there are the rest. Yes, Sir Knight, you are absolutely correct. But our warriors are not born. They are made. A very small percentage of our fighters are what a trainer ...

I can't give you any suggestions on the fighting stuff. I have been going to Larps for about a decade now, and I still throw the occasional headshot, which is a strict no-no. But, I can tell you from hard experience, different groups are like people you date. When you are with one, be with that one....

With Regards to new people, there are two schools of thought that I think I can respect. The first is to work with them slowly, usually out of armor, for an extended period of time. This is a sinister plan. The idea is that they should have some idea of what is going to happen when they put their ar...

I don't know about a scroll saw for metal. I would use a band saw for that. But, I can tell you that I wasn't happy with my scroll saw until I bolted a nice, bit piece of plywood to that tiny little table that came with it. I rounted out the shape of the table (the thing that the blade goes through)...

Guys, Because of the negotiations between Dagorhir and Cooper's Lake Campground, a lot of my camp actives are interested in finding out about Dagorhir.
