Had my own personal Nicholas Cage moment...

"People don't throw things at me any more. Maybe because I carry a bow around." -- Nicholas Cage as Dave Spritz in "The Weather Man"

I came upon this site on Sunday and have been looking and thinking and looking and thinking for 4 days now about Reinhard and Shovelglove. Can't say it's a bad idea. In fact, I've decided to try it out.

Today I walked (not drove) the 1.5km to my nearest Canadian Tire and got a 12lb sledgehammer. As I was carrying it home I couldn't help noticing that most drivers were being more solicitous than normal. Two, in fact, who normally would have cut me off by taking a right turn in front of my as I was crossing, took a second look at me and decided to wait until I had passed.

Nobody f**ks with me... maybe because I carry a sledgehammer...

Ianp123, I know the feeling, a few years ago, I was doing medieval sword fighting and regularly I had to take the bus with two bastard swords (4'Â½ to 5' long sword), a rapier (short, only 3' long) and a main-gauche (big 1 foot-long knife) strapped on my backpack. No need to say that people were looking at me in a funny way.

P.S. Over that, I used to wear my stage costume, a scottish kilt and plaid. I mean, at that point...

The kilt would top it all.... I don't get to wear mine often...
