- Well, if it once was, it isn't now. I thought I had a great idea,
- shortly after I made my first stick. I discovered ALUMINUM duct-tape...
- Structural integrity AND great-looking sword, too!
- Except that it seems to fall under the provision of "offensive steel"
- within the eric. So much for looks.... back to the well chewed, drab grey
- duct tape we all know and love.
