Say something nice about somebody!

[Kalamos]

Yes.
I am reasonably familiar with the kind of folding technique Lombards used to forge weapons around VII-VIII CE/AD.

It was just simpler and less refined, but it involved, not unlike Damascus's and Japan's technique, beating hot iron over a forge, and folding it over, so carbonium would weld to soft iron, and create a composite bar of layered metal, not unlike a flexible yet sturdy sandwich.

Lombards couldn't beat the edge to razor sharpness, so welded specially forged bars, which were brittle yet harder, and could keep an edge better.

 

[Sockstickler]

Ah ok. Interesting stuff.

Note to self, provide a link instead.

When I was in school, I'd had some lunches that could be described as "flexible, yet sturdy" just like those swords. They were probably about as lethal too.

 

[blackmagicjack1]

That's just bad

 

[Sockstickler]

Actually, the french fries were more like throwing darts or knives.

 

[LonelyKimiko]

Hmm.... you're like a sword swallower then... you know, but not...

And you complain about our puns 😉 .

 

[Kalamos]

Can we nibble her to death?
Or if you prefer, to - 10 HPs?

 

[LonelyKimiko]

Me no, her yes ^^

 

[Sockstickler]

Well, I believe nibbles along the sides, stomach, and neck would have a bonus to them, due to a +5 in sensitivity (I know that stat probably doesn't really exist 😎 )

 

[Kalamos]

As long as nibblers are not wearing braces...

 

[Sockstickler]

Well, I don't wear braces, so it should be safe.

 

[LonelyKimiko]

Since I'm the vampire here, I wanna give the neck nibbles ^^ .

 

[Kalamos]

I'm nibbling the knees.
Ah, cavus popliteus!

😀

 

[Sockstickler]

That works. Odds are that's the part that'll toss and roll around the most, so here *hands you a helmet* I dare say this is the best of my armory, and I don't want either of you to get cracked skulls.

 

[LonelyKimiko]

Ya wouldnt want to garlic me, I'm a sweet vampire!

 

[Sockstickler]

And me, I'll take whatever open areas I see 😎

 

[Kalamos]

As long as you don't get behind them, I'm good to go Kalamos!

That's exactly where cavus popliteus is!
The back of the knee!

😀

 

[LonelyKimiko]

Can I join in too? I'm too tired to be tickled anymore, so may as well give TG some fun 🙂

 

[Sockstickler]

Well, I kind of thought you were handling the neck. That's why I handed you the helmet and everything, so I guess the answer would be heck yeah! 😀

 

[Kalamos]

"Neck" yeah...

 

[Sockstickler]

Now THAT pun was groan-worthy 😛

 

[Kalamos]

Hey, I do my be[a]st.
English is not even my first lang!

You should see me cybertickling in italian, now *that* would be the mother of all cybertickling sessions!

😀

 

[Sockstickler]

Tickling in Italian. That could be kind of cool actually...

 

[Kalamos]

Yes, except for a rather fundamental detail.

...

Italian has *no* word for "ticklish".
