Was the “boy friend” a muzzie and used his sword to defend himself?

A fair number of “non-Muzzies” just happen to have swords hanging all over the house.

I think I`d prefer a firearm but if push came to shove, I suppose my Damascus Katana would suffice.

Never said there weren’t guns everywhere, also.

And dogs.

Big, nasty dogs.

Yeah-- so the husband confronted the adulterous wife and boyfriend. Not that long ago he could have shot both of them dead.

But we used to take marriage somewhat more seriously.

...when a woman’s estranged husband showed up at her home with her live in boyfriend.

Can we not find any writers who know how to write?

Oh ya, speaking of big nasty dogs, I can’t believe that bluetick was so mean. I had a black and tan, but I’ve never seen a sweeter dog heh.

This story of a guy grabbing a legend of zelda sword just makes me sad. Who would waste money on a replica sword from a kid’s video game?

I was wondering why the live-in needed a ride from the ex, myself...

Yes, thank you for calling out the shack-up. It bothers me so much to see how even otherwise conservative individuals have accepted that kind of behavior.
