And you could look it up.
Is it cold in here?:
Jim wound up feeling content with Samantha visiting CoD.
Good point about Dora not wanting all of Sam's agemates to wind up occupying the coffee shop.

--- Quote from: GarandMarine on 04 Jun 2013, 05:23 ---Ugh épée, proving that the small sword can actually be more pathetic and useless. Though it's not quite as disgusting as the bastard creation that is the fencing "saber". At least the small sword in it's original incarnation was about as lame as the épée or foil is presently and doesn't take the name of a proper combat weapon... not to mention ignore a good century plus of actual saber form.

Meh.... give me the British, 1796 pattern Heavy Cavalry Sword, a weapon only marginally more refined than an axe.

Not marginally, saber techniques survive to this day, the way to tell what was considered an unrefined weapon in Europe is if any one bothered to write down fighting techniques for it. Axes or smashing weapons like warhammers and maces? Nope, but there's tons of text on various forms of swordsmanship including longsword, zweihanders, rapiers, sabers, cutlasses and so forth. (The cutlass is on the edge of unrefined, it's the bastard offspring of a saber and a machete and it unsurprisingly not very complex to effectively employ, the reason written forms exist for it is military standardized training manuals.)

My mum does scare me... concentrated centuries of Irish Catholic guilt. *shudder*

Ah yes, powerful stuff. If they could weaponize that guilt, it would probably violate the Geneva Convention.
