In my ever loving search for medieval schtuff my lovely wife bought me a replica Battle Axe … Og I am such a dork when it comes to medieval armaments I just like the way they look I guess…
What dorky thing do you enjoy? Post them here!
Does your wife have a sister?
Oh…you were referring to the battleaxe present!
And she isn’t…
Battleaxes are fun. I own 5 of them. Plus 3 broadswords, a Bavarian sabre, and several dozen other pointy sharp things. The cats walk carefully around the den.
I suddenly like you a lot more. 
I read the thread title as “Wow, just what I wanted, a Bottle of Axe for x-mas!” I thought the OP was being sarcastic. :smack:
Am I the only one who thinks that a battle axe doesn’t achieve prime coolness until the moment that it’s being swung at that jerk across the way who’se always chewing chips loudly and stealing the office stapler?
Be the first kid on your block… to be the last kid on your block!
Sorry.
among the gifts that my ever-patient and loving wife has acquired for me over the years:
N64
replica katana
PS2
matching his-and-hers lightscribe DVD burners (this years present, in fact)
and the piece de resistance, a bouquet consisting of 36 packs of Magic cards taped to paper sticks, artfully arranged with baby’s breath.
Best wife ever? Yes. YES.
drools Dayum, I wish my BF was that great. He sent me a pocketwatch, which is nice and all*, but I have this thing for sharp metal objects. Though I also doubt anything of that sort would make it past the border anyhow. (That, and I think he’s already scared enough of the dagger and whip I keep in my room–both are cheap and not good for much, but the dagger is still decently sharp)
silenus, can I visit you sometime? Just to look–with that collection you better believe I wouldn’t touch if you didn’t want me to.
*There’s no sarcasm there, really. I have a thing for pocketwatches too, just a bigger one for sharp metal objects.
Here I thought you were getting married and were refering to your future mother-in-law.
A few of the choppythingies.
Should I mention that I also own 11 pocketwatches? 
Nothing special, mostly Russian stainless jobs honoring Yuri Gagarin, or the Apollo-Soyuz link-up, or the Great Patriotic War…stuff like that.
I LIKE THAT!
What set? Becuase if they were Saviors of Kamigawa or (God forbid) Homelands, I’m not very impressed.
i got mrAru a del tin 2104 longsword for his birthday a few years ago=)
I’m contemplating bringing in the plywood “waster” hand-and-a-half to use on a cube neighbor that REALLY needs to go to the john and blow his nose as it’s been snort-snort, snukk,snuchh,snuckkh all day long.
I figure the plywood might let me dodge “assault with a deadly weapon” - nevermind that the claymore only has a theatrical edge on it, it is still a long pointy steel sword.
Like silenus’ cats, our dog has (well, probably not!) learned that swords and weaponry are not things to sniff at. She once poked her nose at a templar sword in its scabbard, and it fell over, leading her to beat feet out of the room.
Christmas came early at your house this year, or did you peak in the presents closet?
I bought my boyfriend a medieval style helmetfor Xmas. He’s getting a sword for his birthday in January. I don’t like the sword much myself (too fantasy), but that’s the one he wants.
C’mon! This isn’t a sex thread (yet).
