Here we are, born to be kings

Friend: "Someone pulled up next to me and talked to me when I was walking to your place last night."

Me: "Creepy!"

Me: "You need a sword..."

I was only half kidding, because using swords against criminals seems to be the popular thing to do nowadays in Minneapolis. Not long ago, a bandit who was robbing a store got slashed on the bicep by a shortsword-toting customer. Problem solved.

Recently there's been a seperate string of convenience store robberies enacted by one brazen fellow. A store owner was interviewed by the news and he too brandished a sword, talking about how he'd like to use it against the perp. He also had a twinkle in his eye as he said this.

When I get my sword it's going to look really cool, like the Highlander's.
