I get that catalog. The quality is top notch and the prices are great. There's no other place you can get a well-made Bowie knife for under $100.

I get all my throwers from BUDK, but they're not listed in the hilarious emasculating catalog. I agree with your assessment, though you would never guess they have quality with such products as "DON'T BE A PUSSY -- GET THIS REAL NINJA SWORD - $9.99!!!"

And all of their employees are obviously well anticipating END OF DAYS with every eastern euro country's gasmask ON SALE ALL THE TIME.

My buddy sent them a time lapse vid of me dressing a deer w/ one of their fake K-BARS and got a bunch of throwing stars out of it.

Edit: And Lewis' THE MONK is rule. Better than Huysmans...

The cover of the last catalog was fucking glorious with that flaming gas mask? I could not stop laughing. They are totally ready for the End Times.

Blood, Sweat and Beers: Oz Rock from the Aztecs to Rose Tattoo (or a very similar title). It's a history of Aussie rock n' roll from the late 60s on up with a focus on the Sharpie movement and the harder edged stuff like Lobby Lloyd, Buffalo, Angels, Buster Brown, etc...My buddy picked it up Down Under (mate!). I'm so stoked.

The first three books in the Saxon Tales by Bernard Cornwell. I don't normally go for historical fiction, but this has Norseman. How can you not read about Vikings?

Saying IJ is about tennis is like saying I'm about teetotaling.

And, Knuck, if you're going to read historical fiction, you have to wear a girdle whilst doing it. Even if it is about Norsemen.

They're good for knives and anything with a blade-length of, say, 14" of less. Above that, and you're looking at a wall-hangar. (Granted, a reasonably cheap one, though. :))

I still recommend Starfire Swords even though they pulled out of the Georgia RenFaire, and with them went my longtime fun job there. Pricey, but incredibly sturdy blades that eat wall-hangers for breakfast. :twisted:

Just started up Neuromancer. Was supposed to read this for my freshman English class years ago, but I was a big fan of Spark Notes back then. Enjoying it so far.

Atomic Ranch book and my magazine archive. Brainstorming for color ideas, window "treatments" (man, how I hate that term), furniture choices, etc...

I just finished The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson. Best book I have read in a long time.
