A pocket knife. If you had lived in Denmark you would be in serious trouble!!! :-)<br /><br />We actually discussed swords, but we decided that they would invite to kids fencing with each other, and someone would inevitably get hit and start crying, and I guess that I would be partly blamed for that. <br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-65781022767439960982017-06-20T08:15:16.261-07:002017-06-20T08:15:16.261-07:00I used to play like that (with much less cool arms...I used to play like that (with much less cool arms then that), climb trees, and even carry a very small pocket knife (shocking) and it turn out, surprising, I did not became an outlaw.<br />Although sometimes my wife calls me 'psico'.... <br /><br />Maybe swords next year??<br />Good postAntóniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10596922451161589842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-15779971384039503792017-06-19T20:49:28.948-07:002017-06-19T20:49:28.948-07:00Hi Jeff
Thanks for the nice comment. I think you ...Hi Jeff<br /><br />Thanks for the nice comment. I think you are correct about the marrying part :-D<br /><br />Sadly the sales were a bit slow. They sold 6 guns out of the 19 that were made. <br />But it is a very small village, so given the number of people I guess it was OK. But it bothers me that people are so cheap. They charged 75 dkk (~12$) for one gun. A comparative kids commodity is loose weight candy which is roughly 1.5$ for 3 oz. <br />A problem might be like Brian Eve suggests that playing cops & robbers have fallen out of favor lately. And why even bother playing outside when you can shoot at each other inside the house using a nerf-gun?<br /><br />Asger gave Andreas a gun for helping out and we took the rest of them home, so we still have a bunch of guns that can be played with or maybe he will try to sell them at some point. <br /><br />A guy asked if the Sjöberg workbench was for sale, but he thought that 200 $ was too much. I should ad that the bench is in pristine condition since it has lived in my older brothers basement and seen close to no use at all. <br />He never made a counter offer, so I guess he was in the 80$ range. I'll just keep the bench until some of the children might need it.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-33925929837178167632017-06-19T18:35:54.679-07:002017-06-19T18:35:54.679-07:00Good storytelling, thanks.

Fire. And at that code word, I slammed the cue the best I could into the rear end of the vacuum tube. I remember watching in awe as the cue sailed through the room like a spear and pierced the back of the chair.<br />I had no idea at that time that the chair was a fancy designer thing.<br />Cheers<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-81109509830909856622017-06-19T05:20:36.466-07:002017-06-19T05:20:36.466-07:00If I remember your amusing story, you must have al...If I remember your amusing story, you must have also played "war" inside the house.
