While the idea is cool, and I don't want to rain on Jacob's parade, I suspect that those won't be swords, but sword-like objects at best. Main reason to know the difference is so that you/he know that this is a wall hanger trophy, and not for real use.

They are giving swords tonight at the awards banquet instead of trophies. Jacob is excited.

Party Pooper!
but yeah, they are probably going to be like those 'bonus' swords you get when you buy knife sets.
I have enough at the house to stock that banquet by myself!
But they look pretty!

Pulled a muscle yesterday practicing a technical stand-up. Without an opponent. Today, it hurts to walk. Damn, I'm feeling old now.

I want to emphasize to everyone the bit about "without an opponent". So, I had NOTHING to do with it. Not this time.

P. S. I pulled my lower back when practicing the same technical stand-up during the same class - also without an opponent. This morning, I stripped and re-dressed the beds, threw the blankets in the laundry, went to the park with my dog and walked 4.5 miles, then came home, worked on my web site, and made lunch.

And you went in with a bad back. I started that session healthy, and injured myself picking up my damned leg.

Vice is good - but only in moderation.
