That's What Katanas Are For

[drone]

We have an official pandemic! Get the CDC going on the vaccine for Lemur's disease, stat!

[Megas Methuselah]

WOW. Honestly, I don't know what to say.

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Shocking! Was the katana even registered? There's no requirement for them to be? Well, there should be. It could save up to three lives per year!

[Hosakawa Tito]

Well, if somebody had to die at least it was the right person.

[Rhyfelwyr]

I have a friend who would have done the exact same thing, if not with his samurai sword then his crossbow, ninja stars, or various other blades...

[Papewaio]

'I've got this friend who' ... is that code for yourself?

"And remember, this is for posterity so be honest."

[Hax]

I don't see how the weapon is relevant. Most people have a baseball bat. Hell, if I'd come across a burglar in the middle of the night, the first weapon I'd use are the hockey sticks we have.

I'd be laughing if this wasn't so serious. We may have to ask Tosa to set up Lemur colonies.

[Kadagar_AV]

I have a tactical route planned...

Next to the door is a knife on the hat rack, easily accesible. The hallway is narrow, so knife is best choice..

if i have to back off into the living room I have a very sharp machete hanging so I can grab it as I enter, more room for swinging there :)

I hope I never get to use it, but I want to be sure I have the option if the need arises.

Ranged weapons are for girlymen.

I'm disappointed that the intruder's name wasn't Maynard or Zed.

[Gregoshi]

Kadagar, what about the bedroom or the rest of the house? You need more layers of defense...a polearm for the top of the stairs to keep them downstairs, a spear for the upstairs hall - good thrusting weapon for that narrow space (and longer reach than a knife) and you can throw it too. Come to think of it, a cauldron of boiling oil might do better at the top of the stairs.

[Centurion1]

Kadavagar don't forget to crenallate your roof and make sure there are plenty of murder holes.

[Papewaio]

Meh, I'd pack the equipment for them and give them a nice cup of tea. I pay insurance for a reason. I can replace material goods at a whim, but I can't raise the dead.

Mind you I would probably keep my hands on my hickory handled axe if they wanted more then material possessions. And I'd keep the cuppa for fingerprints and DNA.

Wait, are we repulsing burglars or fighting zombies?

Edit: I've got a tactical baton obtained from a relative in Law Enforcement.

[Zim]

Now I'm curious. What exactly is a tactical baton? An ASP?

[Furunculus]

i'm guessing a 4x Dcell maglite should do the job, but i have easily cleanable wooden floors downstairs so the katana is appealing.

Yup that's another name for this.

Personally I've never used it in anger, but it makes a very cool schhhiiikkkk sound when you deploy it.

Fixed. Use fists!

[AlexanderSextus]

[Papewaio]

Gees a Lightsaber would have to do hair removal first to cut that guy down...

[A Very Super Market]

I have a large piece of plumbing right in my bathroom. Sure, I need to procure a monkey wrench in order to detach it from the wall, but when I do, I'll have an unstoppable force no robber could hope to block.

[Reenk Roink]

I'm compelled to shave his shoulders...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I can't decide who's expression in that pic amuses me more...

You're not a "work smarter, not harder" type, are ya?
