Stephen Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 tell him not to do it, unless he really loves her and can take years or growing together to keep it together.
Guest Prilo Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 My cousin bought sword in wooden sheath from old WW2 Vet. It was nice and shinny and sharp. He keeps it behind the seat in his pickup truck. But now it has rubbing on the sword. Also, he used it at his house some times. To kill possum mostly. It is not sharp now. What is the best way to get it sharp and shinny again? Prilo
drbvac Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 That ends at noon most places but I would really like to hear where Stephen is going with this
David Flynn Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 I always thought it was a shotgun in the pick up! Mounted on the Easy rider rifle rack.
Curran Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 Shinny? Seriously, I know that one of our Australian members was in an unusual situation which involved having to cut down an (ostrich) or large emu- but taking a sword to possum seems a bit Southern Fried Samurai? Where does your cousin live?
ububob Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 It appears that sword was also used in the senseless and indiscriminate slaughter of grammar and syntax.
drdata Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 This thread is useless without pics. Of the possum, not the sword/cousin.
sanjuro Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I have a couple of questions. Is the sword a real nihonto or just a chinese fake? For that matter, was the possum a real possum or a cheap chinese fake? Was the possum an enemy of the state perhaps and this was a public execution? Or was it just a random drive-by slashing? Was the possum a casual victim of gang rivalry perhaps? "Gotta get them possums bwah and make 'em bleed fer workin' our turf". Ah.. or maybe the possum was a member of the Yakusa. That might explain the use of the sword. Was the possum similarly armed? Was this a fair fight? In any event, possums dont really mind if the sword you use on them isnt 'shinny', although I would guess that they (and us) rather you didnt use one at all. Perhaps your cousin could in future just order the possum to commit seppuku. Its a far more honourable death than being chopped up. Please tell us when your cousin either grows up enough or figures out the technology enough to use a gun...... I'd like not to be there.
ububob Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Keith, watch your six the 'wagging finger' is out there somewhere lurking in the shadows of cyberspace.
sanjuro Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Bob For this one I will gladly brave the wagging finger or even the infinitely worse, 'delete and vitriolic PM' award . Even Brian wearing his most stern administrator mask surely cant be taking this one seriously. Then again.... you may be right. Therefore in an effort to redeem myself I would advise that the sword be sent to a Japanese polisher (preferably not one who is fond of possums) to make it 'shinny' and sharp at a cost of $100 per inch per side. :D Even so.... With the best of intentions at heart I may still be risking the dreaded wagging finger!!!!!!
Guest Prilo Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 You think my cousin is a crazy Canjun. Yes, his humor is different. He puts the flashlight on the possum in the eyes and says, "There can only be one!". Then he goes to town on the possum. But it is his sword. He wants to resharpen it on the grinder then buff it out a good one. Shinny like when he bought it. Possum is good eating too. Prilo Folsa 2011

Baka Gaijin Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Morning all Just picked up on this: ubstitutiond coes The good ol Boy signs minus the substitution code as....... April Fools Simples.......... Cheers Malcolm
kusunokimasahige Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Well he was nice enough to send me this photo of his family member who owns the sword...
Bruno Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Keith, you made me laught a lot with your post. Thank you so much!!
sanjuro Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Bruno If it brought a smile to anyone's face then the pleasure was all mine..... I wouldnt dare cut up on a genuine post like that, (although it is sometimes very tempting) and in the spirit of a slightly belated April fools day, the wagging finger did not descend upon me. Good outcome all around! :D
Stephen Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 AF is over but on the long shot, if you really love your cousin, and it sounds like you do, take a pix of the sword, this board is all about saving relationships with swords.
