"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Ulrich, I forbid thee from buying the old Norman or naming your sword anything pertaining to sharp swords leaping from Christ's mouth and beating down the wicked. That's my shtick!  ;)

But really, I can't recommend Darksword enough. Did I mention that my Darksword tears through 18g steel like butter?

Well then lucky for me Sir Nathan because my 16g steel is more like burnt toast (i.e. hard)  ;D Feel free to use your Darksword to spread that butter with some strawberry jam as you will NOT be having my armor for breakfast. LOL   :P

It's ok. You're supposed to go AROUND the armour, remember?  ;)

Sorry, my warhammer disagrees with that commentary. :) Pound & pommel is more fun than slice & dice.

Nay Lord_Dane I cannot be your champion in this duel as I will not be attending DOK either for I have a much more important date that weekend...namely my 23rd wedding anniversary!  ;)

I second that! And Lord Dane, I await the chance to enter into honorable combat with you  :)

and I've already been taught my lessons about elders by Sir Brian's oberhau. Taught me some lessons on reach as well, while he was at it.

Thank you both. :) Side note:  Hmmmm. Was that lesson on 'reach' that the longsword has more than the offending arm?? LOL :)

My thanks as well! I told my lovely bride just yesterday when she complained about her failing eyesight that it is to my advantage her eyes are failing her because as the years go by I am not looking any better...I just have to hope her memories of how I looked in my younger days do not succumb to senility! ;)
