[Namron] OT: Meatsword

[Shalon Reynolds]

As the proud owner of a cool new phone, I thought it would be great to be alerted and access my email account from my "crackberry." I see now, after the random email after email after email that I need to open up a new email account just for my SCA mailing lists.  I will take care of this today and post my new info to the list and under my officer's contact on the webpage.

Must.  Not.  Comment.


Although "Bacon Fruit" would be a good name for a rock band...


Still, some seriously awesome engineering.  It's amazing what pure oxygen can do for, er, rapid oxidation. :)

Oh no.. I am definately not a vegitarian.  I must have misrepresented myself.  I am pure bred Bacon Enthusiast.  Hum, would a bacon rapier blade be legal?  I dont see any reason why not.. but I am also envisioning myself licking my blade while trying to thrust with it.  eck.. that entire sentence brought out other visions.. I better stop while I am behind.

 Well, I know that our group includes:
* Bacon enthusiasts (Ithrael, etc.)
* Metal working enthusiasts
 * Duct tape enthusiasts
* Science geeks

So I though a lot of people would be interested. In your case, you
might prefer the vegetarian version demonstrated at the end of the
video.

Technically, there has been some quibbling over whether or not it is
 actually bacon. To quote the author:

"The challenge isn't creating the heat; it's engineering a bacon
structure strong enough to withstand the stress of a 5,000°F bacon
plasma flame."

 "I used prosciutto (Italian for "expensive bacon") because it is a
superior engineering grade of meat."

I think it's nice to see someone use "superior engineering grade of
meat" in a sentence. Is not English a beautiful language?
