Reminds me of those knuckleheads who think that the best way to test if a “bullet-proof” vest is really bullet-proof, is to put it on someone trying to win a Darwin award and shoot it.
Why not just put the freaking cucumber on a post or something? The sad thing is, looking at the break (as opposed to the clean edge) of the cuke, that sword is about as sharp as the participants are. It’s all fun and games until someone gets their lips chopped off.
The last one…. Coz i just read that article on penis enlargement….
I don’t think cumcumbers are contemporaneous with the armour and I agree with Dave, that sword needs edging.
The sword would be sharper Dave and KN but this isn’t the first spectator they have tried this trick on.. if you catch my drift.
We have a winner! Take a bow, Spinster, that’s exactly right. I hope you enjoy your brand new Cadillac Eldorado!
@Shra: LOL
Are they training for the world’s first drive-by (or should that be ride-by) circumcision clinic?
Yeah 69Spinster, it only looks like a Toyota.
That’s gonna be one hell of a bris once he’s done practicing…
Well, you’d better do it quickly.
I vote for the Kevorkian School of Rhinoplasty.
Too late, it’s been recalled.
Would have been more impressive if the horse was blindfolded.
Would’ve been more impressive if there was some eye candy for the ladies eh Baz?!

Couldnt agree more, E… like you said, nothing at all for us girlies in the last 20 odd posts…. its almost as if we are not cared for… (sniff sniff)
Tissue Shra?
I feel the same way.

Considering what he has just posted, just hand over the box to me…
Seeing as how this is now apparently a mens-only blog, I have a couple of boxes of ‘man sized’ tissues here. Help yourself.

Crap sword, nice gloves.
