I agree with you, except the statement about carrying a combat knife. I carry my Ka-Bar because I bought the damn thing, so I will carry it. It is not illegal, so there is nothing saying I can't.

it never ceases to amaze me the sheer number of anal retentive forum goers that take the whole gecko45 thing seriously and think it's a guy really working such a job in such a manner.
years and years after he faded into infamy people are still swallowing his bait hook line and sinker. lol

oh my gosh, i couldn't even read the entire thing
freaking hysterical, especially the the parts about the companies covering everything up, i am not even taking into account the ridiculous amount of fire power that they claimed they had.
on another note, i can say one good thing about mall ninja swords........you can beat the hell out of them and not feel guilty
I own one, and I'm not afraid to admit it, BUT i have it so i can beat it to hell because i am bored and because of how hilarious it is that the guys i hang out with think its awesome, the entire time i am thinking about my bench-made in my pocket
I dont have it because i think it is cool.....if i want one because i think its cool, i will have a custom made

I gave my friends some cheap blades before I let them graduate, my friend received a Smith and Wesson HRT, not a bad blade by any means it was together well and sharp, then I gave him a Kershaw, then I gave him one of my customs and his dad gave him an Al Mar Sere. Another kid I know knew i'm into collecting knives and asked to see my Benchmade and my other friends Al Mar Sere, then he pulled out some 4 dollar gas station knife and asked who's was the best...I pointed to my friends Al Mar, then my Benchmade then his gas station blade. And another guy I know was showing off his Boker Magnum firefighter, so I showed him my Benchmade Griptilian and he responds with "Thats a hunk of crap, the handle is plastic.", Ignorance at its best, I just smiled and pulled up my pant leg and shaved a 4" long strip of hair off of it, then I told him to try the same thing with his Boker Magnum, he couldn't do it.
EDIT: Read that whole thing, holy mother of god am I laughing right now. The true definition of Mall Ninja was right there. lol.

Okay. The video after the one posted is where it gets really funny. It took that guy as long to pull his sword from his pants as anyone with any firearm training to pull their gun and the trigger. So unless said gun was unchambered I think we'd have a guy who carried a sword in his pants dead on the ground and a person with a gun with a bad slash or missing an arm. Not sure what any of that proved except to show how ludicrous some folks are.
Either way I learned something today. If a sword carrying looney charges at me from 21ft, don't stand and laugh....although id be tempted...run away while pulling out gun and put 'em out of their misery.

awe 
you didn't pick the one where he's in JORTS (that's jean shorts for those of you who don't know)
JORTS are the official pant of the Mall Ninja

that's more like it... note the jorts and the total absence of actual skill utilized with absolute confidence of it's own dominance... these are the trademarks of the Mall Ninja
Also the comment about the fist being weak, I have seen a lot more people get ko'd with punches than elbows.

Hahahaha, Thanks for that Mall Ninja story..... That was extremely funny, SPECOPS is a very talented writer.
I have no doubt both GECKO45 and SPECOPS were both in cahoots for this.
They both played their parts to a "T"
Way too many absolutely priceless lines
"We would never consider using any missles larger than our modified surplus Shrikes, Hellfires are completly out of the question" I rolled off of the bed i was
laughing so hard.
"A perp popped up from behind the Orange Julius counter with a full auto Kalashnikov with a 75rd drum"
Every time i read a post from GECKO45 i swear all i could picture was Napoleon Dynamite's brother!

That tends to be a comment about physiology more than power. I've heard it from a lot of Thai fighters and they're generally referencing the fact that your hand will break before most other bones in the body. Elbows are a whole lot less articulated and you're dealing with larger, more massive bones. The rest of the video is pretty silly, but pekiti tirsia Kali is fairly nasty stuff. It just depends on who's teaching it.

The first time I read the mall ninja schtick, I couldn't help to think that it was Boyd Rice writing it from both sides!
I was waiting for it to appear as some sort of post industrial short story.

No, I know that but I just feel that the way it was put was a little off putting considering the ratio of ko's I've seen. Knee's are also more solid than feet but there tends to be more kick ko's.

I carry 5 knives(3 folders and 2 fixed) to work everyday. 1 for tape, 1 for cardboard, 1 for food, 1 for EDC(Umnumzaan, which of course has a glass breaker), and 1 for SD. I have a 1000 lumen custom made Surefire 6P(black of course) with a crenellated bezel and strobe function in my left pocket. Total value of what I carried today was about $2,000 worth of gear:thumbup:.
At home I have a Hanwei Tactical Wakizashi, a full size katana from kris cutlery, and an ESEE Junglas. I'm considering getting a Kimber handgun, a bulletproof vest, and a nice sturdy helmet for a SHTF situation.
Well? Do I qualify for the prestigious title of "mall ninja"
?
