how may of you sleep with your blade?

[7Cain]

I've noticed that many of you are as fond of your art as I. How many of you sleep with a bali under your pillow?

"with a twist of my wrist I can change the way you look at butterflies"

 

[JGardnerA]

I don't sleep with things under my pillow because they always fall of the bed... but I keep my 42 right on my bedside table in case I need it.

Blasto. Now that is a great poem, I almost cried!

JGardnerA. I hear you on that one, of course the fiance' always thought I was a little odd for keeping my 42 on the nightstand next to a dagger cliped to the side of the bed next to the sword propped against the bedpost. After a few years I think she's finally used to it.

I don't actually sleep with knives under pillow, but I put my knives collection in a box under my bed, a katana on my right side, a wakizashi on my left side, and a another katana on the tv in front of my bed. =)

but if i were a sneaky-man burglar, i may have an easier time of it if i picked up the katana from your t.v. and used it on you before you woke up.

i lock myself in an iron vault, with 10-inch walls, lined with asbestos sheathing, and covered with lexan on the outside. It's not sealed; it has vents at either end, and i made sure that the holes did not go straight through, but are diagonally placed, with a kink at the midpoint, so that nobody could stab me through them. i am also protected against poisonous gases with a massive air filtration system located at either end. theses systems are also heavily armored so that they are tamper-resistant.
before i go to sleep, i strap two daggers to each appendage, and put on a headband with an assortment of combat switchblades clipped on all the way around.
then i don my web belt, with my glock 9mm and my mauser .357 on my left and right sides, respectively.
the locks to my vault are internally operated, so i'm pretty well in there until i choose to emerge.
i've also been thinking of installing a tanning bed and an hdtv with digital surround. then i won't want to leave as often and i'll still get my sunshine (which is necessary for the body's production of vitamin D).
peace.

edit: oh, yeah, i almost forgot! i do keep a bali under my pillow!

I don't have a bed, i just sleep on a leather couch, with my little dauchshund (weiner dog) puppy named Rabies (she's the cutest little thing, i made her a spiked collar and stuff : ))... but i sleep holding my 42 every night, cause i think i have a habbit of manipulating in my sleep : )-

Usually Amaranth is sitting on a bedstand and my 20" Khukuri sits strapped to the bed. But when traveling light I use my extreme concealex neck sheath.

 

[ChungSan]

I just don't fit in. I've never slept with a balisong.

 

[Bladeswinger]

Balisong on my nightstand, Cold steel 9 inch Oyabun, on my headboard, and my trusty AK47 at my fingertips

 

[Darth Detori]

um....I have two lightsabers next to my bed- do those count?

when I go to bed every night I take off my belt and place all my various tools and knives and such on this one nightstand. That's where they remain until I need them again.

 

[Bzzzt]

My 42 is right on my desk next to the bed. Spent last night flipping for half and hour when I should have been sleeping. Showed up to work late. At least I have my priorities straight.

 

[Chris "Anagarika"]

I used to sleep with two balis, one to the right, one to the left. Now that my boy sleeps with us, I have my bali on a table near the bed.

Blasto , that is a very very very good poem!
