    How do I wear two swords?

    in Thieves Market

    Posted

    The only purpose of two swords is to look more menacing, i.e. cool. I want to be armed to the teeth so I am looking at at least one sword and one axe and at least one pistol. I am considering if I want more than one sword or if I want a brace of guns or both. My dilemma, and a serious consideration, is how to wear two swords.

    I'm going to use my tax return to buy a cutlass and I am toying with the idea of ordering two instead of one to be even more fearsome. I currently have no gear for wearing even one sword, so I'm in a good position to buy whatever is needed to wear two. The problem I have is I have no idea what to buy or where to look to carry two swords. Anyone have any ideas? Would I wear two baldrics criss-crossing my body? Is two swords a bad idea for a pirate?

    Man walks into a bar, asks the bartender for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a handgun and points it at the man.  The man says, "Thank you," and walks out.  Why is the man satisfied?

    Heh, took me a moment but I got that one. Clever.

    The Great Loose Weight Thread

    Wow, I haven't posted to this thread since July (page 19). I'm still on Weight Watchers and I've lost about 55% of what I want to lose. I have a really long road ahead of me still.

    I've found bike riding to be my thrill again. When I was in my 20s I wrecked my car and had to bike everywhere for about a year. Surprisingly, after about a month of simply puttering around I find that I'm still relatively fit and I'm quickly regaining my old biker stamina from ten years ago. I'm lucky enough to live on the outskirts of a town with a great bike path (Burbank, CA) and I ride that more than I even go for casual walks around the block. I'm really lucky to have an old healthy habit in my past - of all the people I started my weight loss with I'm the only one still going and I think that's because I like the exercise I perform.

    I think it's great that you, blackjohn, have a knack for finding new ways to make walking work for you. I really believe that enjoying exercise is key, well outside of sheer self control.

    I went to the one in Buena Park in their first month of operation. It was most excellent fun, except for the pre-show lounge. The lounge suffers from too many people and from too many people ordering mixed drinks so that those of us wanting a quick soda or water needed to wait an eternity in line. The show itself is fun. It's very acrobatic and it gets volunteers from the audience to participate. I'm hoping to go again soon, but now that they're advertising on TV I wonder if it won't be even more crowded.

    The Great Loose Weight Thread

    So here's my dilemma. I started Weight Watchers in February. I'm having great success with the program, to the tune of having lost 6" in the waist. I am new to re-enacting and I really want to start buying clothes, but I know I'll just shrink out of them and I can't predict my final reduced size yet (it's about 90 pounds away). My solution has been to spend money on shoes, a hat, a sword, and all the stuff that my waistline won't affect... but I'm getting all babyish about it and I want pirate garb now now now. Yarr!!

    I'm not really complaining though. Having lost so much weight I feel a lot better. I can only imagine how good it'll feel to get to the finish line and slip into some normal-sized clothes. I have complete faith that counting point values will steer me to my weight loss goal. It's nice to see so many others having success too. I visit another message board where a lot of the people are trying to lose weight, but I'm the only one who's still counting points and losing anything. It's encouraging to read the last few pages of this thread and find others who are going great guns.

    When I asked for help choosing a sword, I found a whole host of goodly people on this site willing to assist me in my search. I have spent some time combing through old threads here all related to swords. It seems like there are a lot of people asking for and receiving the same help as me, as it relates to swords. With this in mind, in an effort to assist future sword seekers I thought I'd post up a listing of cutlasses that I found that seem appropriate. I can't vouch for any of the swords, their manufacturers, or their retailers as I haven't bought one yet and so have no first hand experience (in other words, buyer beware).

    In order from least expensive to most expensive (with a few that I don't know prices for), I give you the cutlass list:

    Bladematrix: Buccaneer Cutlass & Scabbard, $60
