So you wake up in the middle of the night and hear noises in the house. There’s an intruder (or it’s the cat. But for the sake of argument, assume it’s an intruder) – what do you do now? WHAT DO YOU DO NOW?
Call 911? Oh, sure, if you’re a big PANSY and expect, you know, the authorities to help you. Some of us, on the other hand, will choose this as an alternative. Because sometimes, you just need to turn your end table into a wooden club and buckler.
I saw this an immediately I saw this an immediately thought that they had missed their niche a little. Sports nuts won’t use a sheild and SCA folks will feel odd with a bat in hand. What they really need is a mace table or perhaps a morning star. That way the sheild weilding crowd will have a weapon they are proficient with.
My only other question on
My only other question on this is, if its a bedside table wouldn’t that imply you might put somethign on it?
How effective is it to knock over a lamp and your alarm clock just to get at your armaments?
Fair point
Also, one of the commenters at the thread pointed out that it’s a little weird that you’d grab the wooden shield and stick and leave the STEEL BASE sitting on the ground. Perhaps the big heavy metal part would make for a more effective weapon?
I think what they really I think what they really need to do is make the base like a giant throwing star. Loft that at someone, THEN if they don’t get outta your house, give ‘em the beat down. Oh, and the table should come with some basic directions on shield bashing.
