Anyone bought from these guys? http://www.parksabers.com/

Looks kinda cool but a bit pricey.

It does seem expensive, but it would be worth it if you could actually play with them and whack the hell out of 'em. I wonder how true the following is: (bolding added by moi.)

Quote:

Each blade is constructed with true 360° EL (electro-luminescent) lamp technology, housed inside an indestructible polycarbonite tube .

If you could actually dual with them, (and more importantly, if they could handle the abuse a 5 year old can dish out!), then I would be very tempted indeed!

EDITED BITS: I originally hit "post" before I wrote anything, so I went back and actually wrote my comments.

Interesting side note, it didn't say "edited by digitalwanderer" anywhere on my edited message?!? Is this a fringe super-power of my omnipotent status here?

LOL.. nothing is "indestructable" to a 5 year old.

I really want to see one up close, but I'll probably never get the chance.

- Me

I don't remember where the quote is from, but you reminded me of that line "If you give a kid an indestructable toy they'll just use it to destroy all there other ones!".

Probably because no-one had replied at this point - I've noticed the same thing myself

if no one but you have seen your post before you edited, it won't show. also, if a mod or admin edits your post, you won't see it.

edit: test

If I am an admin, (who is wearing a grin

), and I edited my post before viewing
I will see not the line of an "edited by" upon reloading the page that I reference.

But if an admin Dig be, (and a silly one he), and his posted has been viewed 'fore he edited
"Would the tagline then lie on the post?", he replied; to this question I would beg some deference. :P

i think you've been a "mother" too long

yes, it will appear if someone else has viewed your post before you edited it.

It does the same thing for me --in my peon-like state-- so long as I'm quick about it. I think that as long as there isn't a view or a reply, that message won't appear. That's a pure guess though...

Andrew275 · Jun 18, 2002, 12:13 AM

Normally, you have about 3 minutes to edit without the message appearing, and after that, it appears. Super mods and admins never have the edited by message.

digitalwanderer · Jun 18, 2002, 01:12 AM

Thanks Andrew, now I've got a moral dilema...should I continue to add "EDITED BITS:" to the posts where I do really stupid mistakes in or should I start to cheat?

Hmmmmmm.........decisions, decisions!

You should cheat, of course.
