Good Evening.
It is I, Vampire Gerbil.

(Note to self: Find a new line!)

Hiya folks!
I just got my new Atlanta Cutlery Catalog today and found the ultimate toy for the Sado-Masochists in the group.
Look!

Perfect for the beach, dungeon or tossing to your drunken uncle screaming, "Think quick, Uncle Louise!!"

For more information, see This.

Off to search for matching razor sharp boomerangs, I remain,

Odd Pictures at Photopoint
An assortment of pictures I decided to share with anyone that was so bored they wanted to check out my antics. I did this to prove that I am indeed sane. Be advised that there's hardly any nudity. Feel free to sign the Guestbook!!
Manifesto of Madness
I wrote most of that at work after drinking massive amounts of coffee. I needed to look busy and that dribbled out of my head. There's also a whole bunch of Optical Illusions.
The Deadly and Scary Leatherman Micra Website.
Be warned that the tactics used at that last site are not for the faint of heart!

Too kinky for me, that remains. Actually VG, if you want something really kinky goto <A HREF="http://www.TheFantasyMall.com/shopping/dept.asp?dept%5Fid=200">http://www.TheFantasyMall.com/shopping/dept.asp?dept%5Fid=200</A>. I found that while looking for police batons and handcuffs (not for anything kinky). Oh well, I guess I'm not fooling anybody. I'm extremely kinky. In fact, combined with my Chineseness, I am the Kinky Chinky!

Not really.

Not kinky, I remain.

VG; long before the Frisbee Pie Company had its' pie tins used by college students, the Sikhs in India had a device called the chakram, or war quoit. This is the implement which Xena uses, albiet in an incorrect (or at least unusual) manner. The chakram(s) were sometimes carried in the Sikhs' turbans, offering some defensive as well as offensive capability.

The definitive work on this subject is is a monograph by The Honourable Wilbraham Egerton, M.A., M.P., originally published in 1880 under the title "An Illustrated Handbook of Indian Arms". It, as well as other data, is available here:

Perhaps you should get your chakra adjusted, VG, as you should know stuff like this, being as old as you are. Check with Paracelsus about anti-Alzheimer's therapy.

When looking at this thing and thinking back to my days as a kid where I used to play around throwing round saw blades, I have no doubt that this is a fearsome weapon in the right hands. I severely doubt that it can be used in the manner you see on Xena: Warrior Princess. I still marvel at the seemingly selective cutting ability of her chakram.
It must be a royal pain in the butt to sharpen though... Who wants to volunteer for sharpening a 12 inch chakram by hand???

I started a thread about this in the Practical Tactical forum a few months ago. That thread has links to some interesting articles about the Chackrum, including an article by James Keating!

I recently saw an episode of "Xena: Warrior Lesbian" where she used her Chackrum. It was pretty ridiculous, as the Chackrum would frequently act like a boomerang and only hurt bad guys, etc.
 
Velitrius - Heh heh.... those things DO fit this room, don't they!
The thing is that now I only try to buy knives that have practical purposes...then again, those Batknives might fit in my mouth when I finally lose all my teeth.
One can never look too unique, you know.

Comrade Chang - Yeah, you were looking for "police batons and handcuffs".... same as I'm suffering from anorexia and a serious lack of artificial pigmentation in my skin!
(j/k)
I've seen those items before though. I used to run an "adult" website. (good money until everyone finds out and your website host decides to charge you for all the traffic) and folks would send me the oddest pictures!
If anyone's ever heard of CBT, you know what I'm talking about.
OW! OW! OW!
Besides, Comrade, you're 1% Dutch, if I remember correctly. That makes you 200% kinkier than the rest of the world's population right off the bat... huh huh... I said "bat"... huh huh... I made a pun!

Walt - Your knowledge as always is beyond mere mortal souls!
(not being sarcastic)
You mean that Hollywood got something wrong?
Yeesh! No wonder the silencer for my S&W 29 doesn't work!
As for having my "chakra" tightened, I think that there's a device that does that at the sight that Comrade Chang posted.
:sarcastic:

Carnifex - I'm sure that a genuine model would be pretty deadly. I just wouldn't want to be on the receiving end.
As for sharpening that beast, if it's any relation to the Hunga Munga (No Comrade, I'm not discussing you
wink.gif
) the blade is left softened so that it's easy to sharpen. The reason they weren't hardened was in case you hit a rock or something, you could bend it back into shape, therefore making sharpening easier.
I can barely sharpen a pencil in an electric sharpener, but I'm sure that most folks here could do it.

Hunga likea Munga,
I remain (totally baffled by that last statement)

Hmm.

These days, many of my fellow students can be seen about the UW campus, playing frisbee.

I should get one of these and bring it, along with two broomsticks.

I shall say: "I propose a new and fascinating 'frisbee' game."

Then they will take me away, because catching a chakrum with a broomstick has nothing to do with protesting "sweatshop labor".
 
Hum, I like it. My 12 year old lab still gets air sometimes when I throw for her, maybe this tool will calm her down a little from her frisbee catching mania
