    I saw a sgian today that had a comb rather than a blade. I'll try to think of other clever things to use.

    There is ALWAYS someone who is bigger than you and out for trouble. If you want you can always tattoo something on your leg if that's what you want, myself? I think that I'll stay with something shiney that I can put next to a goblin's ear to let him know that I am serious.

    I find it's usually NOT the bigger guys who are the problem. Most of them are just trying to enjoy themselves. I find that much more trouble comes from smaller guys, who must feel they need to prove something.

    Yeah, I'm 6 foot 2 and 275 lbs and I'm never looking for trouble but I'm always running into these smaller guys who just want to fight, I don't know what it is....

    I'm only 10% serious here. I can't think of a single "dicey" situation I've been involved in that would have been improved by someone being armed. I guess I've been lucky and make of point of staying out of trouble.

    It's as my dad (85 years old) says: Used to be that if there was trouble, there'd be a fist fight, one guy would decide he'd had enough and the fight was over and they'd both go home...now somebody pulls a gun and somebody ends up dead...

    Who needs that?

    Best
