Oh my thanks gibbo for showing this tread.

6:05AM CET and 55 min of my shift to go, having my college watching over his screen each time I was laughin.

This is something hillarious

I think I really should come over with my shinken some day, mine was paid with guilders and have some rusty spots but they do have some dragons on the hilt some they are made in taiwan(engraved in them) which is close enough to japan so they must be good

This should be labelled "work unsafe" somewhere...

Hey, I'm just wondering if its the same elsewhere. We regularly have kendo/kenjutsu training sessions with shinken, typically we do armoured practice and then kata without armour.

A lot of people say that shinken are too expensive for this kind of thing, but really you can get one for quite cheap. I got mine on ebay for £25. They last longer if you go easy on the tree-cutting practice.

That’s pretty funny. Real Japanese swords start at about $6000.00 U.S. Please give us a link so we can all get rich by buying Shinken for $25lb and selling for thousands.

Also I got a good laugh to think of people doing Kenjutsu practice with real swords. Wow that would be a short practice. Maybe the Sensei should call 911 about 15 minutes before class starts. To give the ambulance a running start.

Thanks for making me laugh.

Peace!

Sorry Smasher666 your over a year to late.

I most states digging up corpses is illegal. (Thread Necromancy is bad)

I must thank Scott for sending me the link to this thread!

Just spent the last few minutes laughing more than I have for weeks!

Anyone who hasn't read this yet I recommend you go to the first post and read from there.

I like America and most of the Americans I have met . . but they don't usually get the British sense of humour, espeicially irony . .

. . . . tamahagane irony anyone?

Sorry . . . I'll get my coat . . . . .

Haha! Thanks for resurrecting this. Classic. Especially 豚肉の剣。Just priceless.

You know, I bet someone else will bite after reading the first couple of posts...

This thread is the Dog's Bollocks! It deserves Sticky status..

[Inner_Silence]

sometimes I think that anjin-san is folowing the kendoka-han path

[Ryuu_Shade]

I dont remember how I got here, but I am glad i did. pure gold. I was convinced that shinkenshi was in on it from the start. There were so many hints.

it is now 10:30, thanks for keeping me up laughing my butt off... now I have to find it...

To be perfectly honest, I wasn't. I genuinely was had in a really bad way. Blame the fact that I was an overzealous uber-beginner in college. Now let's let this thing rest and get back to more important things.

MA Girl, thanks for highlighting my more embarrasing lines in this atomic fallout of a thread.

What could be more imprtant than digging up really embarassing old posts off teh interwebz?

Seconded both Gibbo and The Viking. The thread was awesome - but you made it so, David. Kudos to you.

That said, it is your turn to dish out a wind-up...
