I’ve been using this name for a while now and I’ll stay with it. You used up all the originality and coolness in the universe on your own nickname, so I’ll stay with mine out of familiarity. ---

When I really want to put people in their place, I break out the Irish linen and the Waterford crystal. i don’t actually have a machete but i do have a sword that my dad got from somewhere in south america. i’ll just carry that along with a shield. people may laugh, but until someone builds a working model of a lightsaber it’ll have to do. ---

They may laugh, yes. OTOH, they may also think you’re about to treat them to an authentic Brazilian _churrasco_ (a type of meat-eating orgy in which a sword features prominently). Especially if the shield looks too much like a platter. 😃 ---
