Uh...You Left Your Sword !?

LOL.. I have to love Hollywood. Sitting here, watching a series of various "swash & bucklers" has made me realize something I had missed.

The hero always has to go find "the" sword with which to kill the fabled monster. His own weapon will just never do..nope..we have to adventure off into unknown wilds, dark forests, or rocky mountains to find a particular weapon of legendary choice.

But one has to wonder...why are these weapons always sitting out in the elements, buried in rocks, withheld by sodden maidens, or sitting in volcanoes???? Is that, like, a sword makers creed? If you really like the weapon, be sure to put it in some strange spot in the middle of nowhere so some meandering paladine can find it later.

If I was a great weapons maker, I may want to put my wares where someone would find them easier. That's right, White Knights everywhere would be able to bid for their weapon of myth...

right here on Ebay!

You're too late. Your mythical swordmaking competitor already sold his on Craigslist.
