Too tired to brain. Have an open thread.

I am too tired to brain today. Here; have an open thread. Ask anything, bring up anything, whatever makes you happy (although I ask that you avoid detailed book spoilers—I have forums for that).

I will brain later, but right now, I have the dumb.

Why are you so fond of machetes? I find the bowie knife to be far more practical.

They're pretty.

Machetes are great for clearing brush, which coincidentily helps you develop your zombie beheading skills. Or teenager beheading skills if you're a slasher.

Hey Seanan, Have you read the comicbook Hack/Slash? It's pretty cool. Average teenage girl befriends huge monster-type guy and goes around killing slashers (serial kills in the vein -heh- of Jason, Freddy, etc.). Very entertaining.

I used to snorkle in our family owned camp in Maine. I used a machete to cut the underwater reeds that attracted the fresh water leaches. A bowie knife could never do that.

I have a framed, hand-drawn by Tim Seeley, picture of Cassie Hack above my bed.

And Eden studios has a license to do a Hack/Slash card game and an RPG. Let's hope they actually manage to release it!

Sweet! I'm keeping an eye for that. There really needs to be a Cassie action figure.

Also, should've known that Seanan would have already discovered Hack/Slash. I'm a bit behind on my indie comics, although I guess it's not indie anymore.

I love it so.
