Hi people,
As some of you might know I have just ordered a Samurai Sword, But I did it without thinking.

So in a couple of days Ive got a sword coming through the post, the only thing is that my mum doesnt exactly like weapons, so she isnt going to like it one bit.

So, what should I do?

Your old enough to make your own decisions. Dont tell her about it. If she sees it then thats a different story. Or if shes asks then tell her.

Wait for it to arrive then commit harikiri.....simple!

Tell her this fella's (http://www.kendo-bergen.com/images/beckham.jpg) been giving you problems and you need it for protection :hihi:

kill her b4 she kills U! :hihi:

Why on earth would you want a Samurai sword?!? :confused: :shocked:

...I have just ordered a Samurai Sword, But I did it without thinking.

I hope you done use it without thinking too! :help:

Try and find a Samurai Warrior in town and sell it to him on the quiet ;) or do a runner. :D

try the peace gardens, there maybe one there?

Time for a bit of self-responsibility :D; I am glad to see I voted with the majority although I rather fancied the vegetable chopping option:) . Dont know your age, although some people seem to think you're old enough, however you are living under your mother's roof and presumably she pays the bills in which case, perhaps you could advise the supplier it's an unwanted gift for your mother who'd rather bought something a little more suitable for her needs.

It reminds me of a friendly decorator who gave my brother a very substantial full length sword complete with old dried bloodstains. :loopy: :loopy: As you can imagine It didnt go down well. Thankfully he (my brother) went back to boarding school and the sword went in to safe storage. He wasnt allowed to take it back to school. :heyhey:

Buy a yellow catsuit and tell her you've realised your life long dream of becoming Uma Thurman. :D

Just hide it when it comes, if your mam finds it, say you borrowed it from a friend, sorted.

What you dont know, cant hurt you can it???
Eh!

tell her before it arrives, and say you want it as a wall decoration, but you intend to have it blunted first.

That's a really great idea, much better than mine. Oh and buy her a really nice bottle of her favourite perfume

Speaking as a mother, I'd put it straight in the bin. :D

(Would it fit in the bin?) :confused:

Oh and btw, I voted (anonymously) for 'pack your bags and leave' (before it arrives, if you take my advice!).


:P

Psychological warfare time.......

Tell her you're a practising necrophiliac or something equally grizzly, then when she regains consciousness you can say 'Nah, just kidding!.....I've bought you this cool ornament'!

Oh, how you'll both laugh!

i dunno if it would fit in the bin as the blade is 39"

My dad used to collect knives. They were displayed on wires above his Bar (it was a long time ago). One of the knives was about 3' long, the wire broke and almost took his head off.

I wouldn't have it on the wall. Maybe a display stand?

It's almost certainly not real. I'd just chuck it personally :?

I'm sure his mum can work out a way to get it in. The guy sounds appropriately concerned about her reaction. It would be a piece of cake to yer average mum used to dealing with a son....... Ask anyone who's got one! :rolleyes:

So, what should I do?

is it a display sword, a training sword or a 'real' sword. If it's real then it must have cost >1k so i'll discount that option.
If it's display it will already be blunt, just hang it on your wall.

if it's for training then it will probably be blunted as well, but will have cost more, also hang it on the wall.

if it's cheap and sharp then don't swing it, and certainly don't hit anything with it, it'll break.

can you explain to me why anybody would want a samarui sword?

Just go white as a sheet and say that some psychopathic Japanese samurai is sending you death threats and must be coming to get you; then she'll go all protective (though this may mean she won't let you out on your own for ages). Alternatively she may use it to ritually disembowel you herself.

I bought one a long long time ago as I used to be in to martial arts and had quite a lot of stuff like Swords, Nunchakus, etc. I think Samurai swords look pretty good as ornaments, but each to their own.

Don't any of you mad weirdos (not you spyro, I've just used your post as an example :D) ever consider what would happen if a burglar panicked when he broke in and grabbed one?

I've always been pleased that our kitchen drawer needs a special touch (a woman's touch? lol) to open it to get to the knives....

:P

tell her you thought it was a bread knife, but thought it was a close up till the postman turned up missing his foot ;)

Awww oneman (lovely to see you again btw) that is such a PATHETIC excuse!!! His mum would see straight thru it....geez. You boys!

:suspect:

Tell her you thought it was a miniature, like novelty letter opener.

My wife was non too pleased when I bought a WW2 bayonet off ebay cos I collect militaria.

I now have a WW1 bayonet too, no wonder they didn't like it up em! :o :D

She's getting used to my fascination with both wars now.

She even accepts now that I had to buy a WW2 Lee Enfield .303 rifle to go on the bayonet... (de-ac of course)...

It's a bloke thing.

She'll get used to it mate. :thumbsup:

Yeah, that puzzled me too. Is it perhaps a chav thing? :hihi:

I voted: Try and find another home for it. Clearly you think your Mum won't approve. Which is more important to you - a wall decoration (if that is what you want it for?) or peace and quiet? Be assured, if your Mum doesn't like it now, she won't ever get used to liking it. Period.

Tell your mum that you think she looks remarkably like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill and you wanted to see if she can handle a samurai sword with the aplomb, grace and athleticism of Uma. You will soon have her swishing and slashing about the garden, laying in to imaginary enemies in a dazzling display of samurai chic.

I have looked at the photo of the 'samurai sword' and unfortunately it looks to me like a cheapo repro, of the kind you can easily buy over the counter (there used to be a cash generator shop off the Moor which had loads).

Mainframe, if your mum does look like Uma T, I'd like to see her doing the above too. :heyhey: :heyhey:

Tell her you need to go to white lotus mountain (http://killbill.movies.go.com/vol2/gallery/fullsize_06.html) to find your self. Then bugger off for six months!

Hope this helps... Don't be afraid....;)

Lol it's his mum not his wife that he's trying to convince!!!

:P

Just tell her evey one on the sheffield forum has one because they ran out of tee shirts !:heyhey:

Err..... could you just repeat that poppins? :hihi:

Nice to see you back :wink:

tell her you've ordered 3 huge (4ft long) swords. When just the one turns up, and it's shorter than 4ft, she'll be relieved!

Say "Hey, mum, I've bought YOU a most beautiful present, I hope you'll love it as much as I do!"

its a pencil sharpener mom,honest

Ok then I accept that people want swords, I suppose it's the same as my collection of beermats when I was about 13.

1) Its a cheap repo, you after slicing veg it'll be so blunt it'll only have use as a butter knife

2) If you have a brain, you wont leave it anywhere where someone might be able to get hold of it, espcally in a burglary.

3) Don't take it outside, its and offensive weapon and could wind you up sat in prison.

4) Tell her about it, where as parents may be shocked at finding a copy of escort under yer bed, this is heart attack material.

Other than that I think if you explain to her she'll be ok

Even setting aside the point that you make it sound like you sleep with pasta, you are joking, right?

How would you sleep with a machete under your pillow? Isn't it hard? And cold? And, erm, sharp? And, erm, why would you? You have to be joking.

:confused:

He will need the machete to defend himself when Mother finds the sword :P

That's funny, its just what my partner often says to me when I disrobe at bedtime.

Tell her it's not the size that matters, it's what you do with it what counts :thumbsup:

My post was actually meant for Mainframe, but what great timing...

Bong pictures (http://glassbongs.org/)

I have one of these

http://www.curiousantiquities.com/images/MalayParang.jpg

A malasian Parang, and also a british army issue machete, old style with the saw tooth on one ede and blade on the other. Both are kept well out of sight and in a locked box with my air pistol. Anyone who has things like this on thier walls is asking for trouble, sure it may be decorative, but it only takes one scumbag to break in and nick em, and you can be done if they stab someone with it.

Its not worth the risk

I HAVE JUST TOLD MY MUM.

I said "Mum, as you know I bought this film (Kill Bill) and its like when you buy a racing game you want a modified car. Well I saw the film and wanted a smaurai sword.

She then looked at me and said "and......."

So i replied "It arrives tomorrow"

She then gave me a dodgy look and said "Your not hanging it on my walls" and walked downstairs

Sorry about that ! I stutter too:blush:

Hopefully it should arrive in discreet package which is normal box-shaped. Else you may have Royal Mail Special Ops. asking a few questions.
Heh Heh.

my brother did exactly the same as u. she doesnt like weapons either but what could she do, it arrived but she couldnt really do anything about it. i think u shouldnt worry too much. the worst u will get from her is an ear bashing i hope!

Tell her you won it ... and if she not happy about it been in the house you will sell it on ebay or summet ...

My brother used to buy stuff like this off ebay, smaller knives mostly, but when he started self harming my mum made him get rid.

Im not saying just because you bought this you will self harm, but really why do you need one?

I doubt your mum will be pleased, but at least if you tell her first then she wont be as shocked when it comes.
