Here in the US, we get 100 gallons of homebrewed alcohol per adult per year.

Some homebrewers...exceed this number.

Pff. EVERYONE knows that you don't have a spear with your rice wine. Spears are for your pinot grigio. The proper armament for your rice wine is the halberd.

The proper weapon for rice wine is the katana. Halberds are for mead.

Good thing he was in Fiji and not the U.S.

Otherwise he wuld have been shot to death along with any other living thing in the residence because the heavily armed and armored officers "feared for their lives"


/can't blame him for wanting booze in Fiji though...have you SEEN their mermaids?

Anti-terrorism squad, I don't get it?

I'm guessing he was described as "aggressive and forthright, with sharpness and a woody back".

Clearly a naginata goes with rice wine. Halberds are for champagne!

Halberds are for Rivella... Mjolnir is for mead.

While I agree in principle, last night I had a refreshing spiced mead which had just a hint of a floral nose, which paired excellently with a Zweihänder and some unintelligible screaming. I'd recommend it.

Pfft! Everyone know the French invented the glaive-guisarme for explicit purpose of champagne defense.

Know your pole arms!

Illegal wine?! When you suspect something as injurious to humanity as illegal farking wine, why not just barricade the doors from the outside and burn all the evil doers and dangerous contraband in one big justice fire.


What the fark is wrong with these people?

I've seen a dude with a spear take out a battleship, so don't take this threat lightly.

And tragedies such as this will continue, until Sid Meier gets around to tweaking the combat system.

Only to be replaced with other tragedies... like Civ III

In AZ, we only get 50 gals/adult with a maximum of 100 gals/household. I'm sure this is a state regulated item, not federal.

/has yet to exceed this amount
//maybe someday...

It doesn't. At least, I can't get beyond the fact that the balance of it would mean the slightest movement would cause it to twist in the users grip resulting in the whole assembly being pointed towards the person while at the same time, anyone with moderate sized forearms would find out that while down the street is probably faster, across the tracks would still mess you up.

I don't know, I suppose it could look neat, but the damned thing looks like it is 50% too big. Or maybe its a little person holding it?

Or perhaps it's too early in the morning and I'm trying to look at one of those home shopping network knife show knives in a serious manner.

That thing desperately needs a guard in front of the fist. One unlucky sword hit to the inside of the blades and your hand would be toast.

Well my wife got tired of me running 'round, so she tried to keep me home
She hid my clothes,
She broke my nose
But I continued to roam.
Then she finally hit my weak spot - when she threw my bottle out
Well, from the basement to the rooftop, everybody could hear me shout...

Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)

'Cause I can't cut loose without my juice.
(Got to have my hot Lucy when I go out walking sometimes)
One day crossin the avenue, a big car knocked me down.
I was stretched out tying up traffic and crowds came from blocks around
While the police were searchin my pockets, before they sent me to the funeral parlour,
One of those cops touched my bottle, Jack, I jumped straight up and commenced to hollar

Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)

I just can't get well without Muskatel

One real dark and dreary night while I was staggering home to bed,y'all
A bandit jumped from the shadows and put a blackjack 'side my head.
That cat took my watch, my ring, my money, and I didn't even make a sound,
But when he reached up and got my bottle, you could hear me for blocks around

Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)

Beat my head outta shape, but don't touch my grape.

One day my house caught fire while I was laying down sleeping off a nap
And when I woke up everything was burning with a pop and a crackle and a snap.
Well the fireman broke up my TV set and they tore my apartment apart,
But when he raised that axe to my bottle, Jack, I just cried with all my heart...

I said Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)

I'll just have one toast before I roast.

Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)

Nothing but the best for me

Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)

I just can't get well without Muskatel
I got to have some of that brew

Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)
Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle!)

A strap on the very back would fix the rotating problem. Overall it does look a little big, but she is small, we need a picture of a guy holding it to really see how it scales.

Agreed, hell have the entire hand covered.

No, Danish axes are for mead. The naginata is proper for rice wine, as it was a women's weapon and women in Japan were the traditional sake brewers.
