If it was a real weapon, it would be stored in a proper place.

I have a sword too tbh

But it's a ****ty, 100% dull souvenir sword that an uncle gave to me when I was 10-12 years old.

It's some kind of rapier I think.

My best friend is a f*cking nerd so we all pitched in to get him a replica (but still deadly as f*ck) John Snow sword from Game of Thrones and presented it to him on his wedding day. Somebody brought a bearskin vest and he went around pretending to murder all the wedding guests. It was a completely ridiculous moment of the best wedding I've ever been to. I'm honestly surprised nobody got skin pierced with that thing. We were all bonkers drunk.

Sorry, I forgot how the progression of time works . .

Don’t ever apologize for being stupid.

Especially on the internet where you'll have to remember how to spell "apologize".

1) I'm not stupid.

2) The "apology" was sarcastic.

^ HaHa! "Carcopalyspe" is a clever combination of words, though it needs a couple of trial runs before you can pronounce it with confidence.

Mexicans are very inventive when it comes to stealing: they take electricity too, by hooking up illegal connections:-

Are you a FASCIST?

^ Are you making a joke or a point, D&G? As sometimes happens with your responses, I feel there's a subtext that's sailing over my head.

I'm not a fascist. I have great admiration for Mexicans, though some live in real hardship; in a country with high unemployment, low wages and endemic corruption many are driven to desperate measures.
