    Default So what did you get for Christmas?

    Besides a hangover, that is.

    Did any of you get something worth bragging about?

    It was not this year, but I once got riveted mail. Now that was cool.

    I am wondering if Vuk got something to do with his spears...

    Got a 5 feet long sword. The blade itself is 4 feet.

    The chap who ordered it to be made picked a smith who normally makes scimitars and the like, and he didn't know much about straight swords, so he messed up the hilt, made it too think....but still, it's pretty nice.

    If I was going to brag, I did spend Christmas with three good looking Japanese girls who were all single (and sisters).

    I'm not a christian, so christmas was just another day. I woke up, took a shower, went to bestbuy (they had messed up an order I made December 21-my old computer's motherboard died, so I got me this ASUS computer: I still prefer the old one). then I came back, had lunch, wrote to RIchard delivering to him 2 plates for the Modenese army (http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.p...=Modenese_Army), one of which, at the time of this writing, is gracing the front page of the Seven years war section .

    the real news for me in fact, was a recent assgnment regarding the French army: I'm not going to say what it is, but checking out the French army page should pretty much give you an idea as to what it is.
    I was once alive, but then a girl came and took out my ticker.

    Various firearms, the most interesting of which was a Steyr SPP. That one took me by surprise!

    For the last five or six years my father and I have exchanged guns for Christmas and birthdays. It has gotten a little out of hand, but they hold their value a lot better than clothes that will be out of season in a year and a lot of other things.

    I got him this along with two pistols this year.

    I doubt that I can swing that, but you ought to stop by next time you're in the States. We'll put an end to all this airgun nonesense.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
