storied weapons...

"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal. What's all this fuss I have been making about, thought I to myself -- the man's a human being just as I am: he has just as much reason to fear me, as I have to be afraid of him. Better to sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian."

-Herman Melville, Moby Dick

My heart is warmed; few people believe that I actually read Moby Dick let alone remember anything from it. By the way, I am a friend of the Spiro's which automagically makes me not creepy. Cheers.
