[TheForge] News for swordmakers

[GHS]

As someone who lives in a neighborhood which has these idiots shooting 
at each other once or twice a summer, I will tell you swords are a good 
thing.

I have been trying to whip up interest in a billboard campaign featuring 
a twenty foot warrior with the caption "Real men use Swords"

Think the macho thing would work?

I like the idea of all these punks lugging around broad swords.
