I've seen that phenomenon before.
It's the dreaded Celtic Cone of Power.
Fear him.

Glaswegians are threatening to knick me with broken beer mugs.
When will they be outlawed?

Long before "Braveheart" brought the concept of it into common consciousness, I've had a 6 inch spike buck antler on my keychain.
[an homage to the *last* de-swording of the Scots]


When will that be outlawed, do you suppose?


"All the Scots that would have gotten that gaff are probably dead.. pity..
The Welsh are pussys and servile...
And the Irish are organized criminals.."

Damn.
I'm Scots/Irish/Welsh [and a bit of Danish]
No wonder I've always been so confused when choosing a "career path".

What "Weegie" fails to see is that all of this "picking" has good purpose.
It's the cyber equivalent of "lighting the fiery cross" or "waving the bloody flag/shirt".
No one is kicking Weegie or the Scots, per se.

All of this is an exhortation to get their collective backs up and -do- something about it before it's truly too late.

You can now buy a 'safety' sgian dubh. The blade is plastic. Some have no blade at all.

Interesting. Thanks!

The logical conclusion of these laws is that anyone who is not a 'Rat homo will be required to have one arm tied behind their back....Still won't be a fair fight.

But if you don't have a gun, you don't need one to mug someone anymore -- a knife works just fine there now.

Great Britain will be overrun within 2 generations. Sad, that they are disarming their subjects.

Any Scot who would wear a "safety" sgian dubh has forgotten why they are worn to begin with. They probably have rubberized nappies under their kilt, too.

They are popular with parents purchasing for young guys

Also, as previously stated, for traveling in highland wear.

Wild Scotsman?

NEW: Man accused of sword (and pipe) attack on roommate
Web Posted: 03/14/2005 10:19 AM CST

Mariano Castillo
(San Antonio)Express-News Staff Writer

A 36-year-old man was in jail this morning, accused of attacking his roommate with a sword and a pipe on Sunday morning.

Myles Hammon was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and held on a $20,000 bond.

According to a report by Live Oak Police, the man who called them to the 12100 block of Wright Patterson had two puncture wounds on his chest and several bruises.

The victim told police that his roommate, Hammon, awakened him and accused him of cashing his check.

Police said the victim told them Hammon then hit him with a metal pipe before picking up a homemade sword with a doorknob attached to the hilt.

The victim defended himself with a 2-by-4 board and fought back until he could call police.

The victim claimed the sword never actually struck him, and he suffered only minor injuries.
