Reminds me of some old urban legend "hero's" I used to laugh about. Here's a whole site dedicated to Gecko45. Pretty much where the term mall ninja comes from.

The ID-10-T in your video must not realize you can't sword fight in a confined space with a katana, you need a sailors cutlass like real men use (kids these days right?)...of course that's right before you get pepper sprayed, then shot.-WW

ps. Video games...the clear and present danger

Sniper was some a-quality humor.

And he didn't know it.

The whole katana video immediately took me back to a "zombie end of the world" site I used to hang out at.

(So what? you get bored on duty at times, and I was the best section leader ever.) I once had my whole section in on the phone "seriously" discussing a upcoming Bigfoot hunt with a professional squatch outfitter. We couldn't understand why we had to provide our own chow and tents for $800 a night to find squatch. Idle hands and all that..but I digress..

Anyway..

It was the high point of all the zombie movies and everything that was "zombie". The site was full of end of the world survivalists, mostly good natured and kind of serious. Everyone was getting on board with bug out bags, how to escape cities, best tasting MRE's, best camping gear, best hand weapons and firearms for zombies ect. Not so much die hard survivalists or truly fanatical preppers. Mostly young adults, not teenagers mind you, but a few classic basement commando's. These guys actually did good works during a few natural disasters during that time, running surplus military vehicles in to help folks in need. Kinda the Cajun Navy during the zombie fad. I learned a lot of fun facts these guys came up with and a lot of the "zombie" stuff was code for a break down of civilization.

Anyway, this guy was showing off his latest zombie killing weapon, a katana. Then somebody noticed the handle was carefully wrapped in phone cord. The flame war that ensued was so epic it's one of the few web stories I've ever seen vanish almost completely...but there was no "viral" back then.

Back then there was no mercy on the net, no safe rooms, or don't hurt anyone's feelings crap. If the kid that had the fancy phone cord on his sword is still alive (its been over a decade, he'd be all grown up by now...hell maybe its the guy in the video?) I bet he still has nightmares. Poor bastard. - WW

ps. No, it wasn't me I'd own that $hit.

He's waited his whole life for this moment, he double down when the dice rolled his number, he stood proud and tall when his name was read out loud, he answered the call when Gabriel's horn blew, he was first in line when the newspaper said that there would be a discount available at the store for the most badass dude, he knew that this is his weapon and this is his gun, this is for fighting and this is for fun...


...why take it from him?

Maybe so, mike!!!


I guess I’m just a cynic. I should put more faith in the guy who conceal-carried a 3 foot sword onto the subway.

He was on the subway so it's very possible.

This may be the greatest thread ever

Wait this was in Phoenix, Sniper moved to Phoenix? Nope, that can't be him. He would have had at least few women trailing after him, right?
