I'd bet money that's a Starfire Claymore... you can tell by the teardrop-shaped pomell and the slight upturn to the ends of the crossguard. and it's not brand new either, since they are currently wrapping with blue/grey suede I think... and stopped using brown a few years ago.

how many years has it been since I worked there?

[fairyrune]

Yep yep yep. The first thing I thought wasn't anything about the article, it was "Hey! That's a Starfire!"

It has to be more than four years, since I don't ever recall you working there.

I can understnad if they have a "zero tolerance" for weapons....
but daaaaamn that's a cool picture! I wish I had something like that for MY high school pict! :P

[fairyrune]

I know, right? Ours were "Sit in front of this screen and smile nice!"

I don't have a problem with them banning the pic... If he wants a garb pic, just lose the sword for it...

[fairyrune]

I think they're making a mountain out of a molehill with this, but that's TOTALLY two Starfires he's holding!

So far, three to one people say it should be published. :)

I'm all for free speach, but this is hardly an inappropriate venue for it. Maybe their yearbook is different, but senior photos at my school were a formal affair. I would argue for him being in the candids or ad space. Maybe vote him "Most likely to dress funny on weekends".

Kind of amusing the school mascot runs around with (I'm guessing) a flintlock, though. :)

He probably trucks down to Tux once a year. Not only is he sporting Starfire. From the looks of things, thats a Bald Mt. cup holder, and an Elderitch belt.

True dat. Since when do kids get to have anything other than the "Sit in front of the screen while we aim these umbrellas at you, and smile nice so your mom's happy with the photo" thang as their yearbook photo?

Hmmmm... well, on one hand, I wouldn't want someone to be able to pose with an AK-47...

on the other hand...I bet they'd allow the marching band/color guard to pose with the sabers/rifles that they use in shows.

[fairyrune]

Yeeep.

Sword by Starfire, belt by Eldrych Armoury, mug strap by Bald Mountain.

and lets not forget the chain, looks like mardigan maile or is it black prince armory that is across from angel sword? and btw the tankard looks to be one of the older fellowship foundry tankards. . . . wow i'm a garb whore. . . .and gues what. . . .. . SO ARE WE ALL!!!!!!

[rhps613.livejournal.com]

They have a good point about the theater if they allow that then they should allow the starfire ( which a a real stage safe combat weapon) futhermore do they have a fencing team? did they pose with foils?

[fairyrune]

It's all very silly.

[grmonk.livejournal.com]

whats that kid doing with that tankard?

[grigoricennui.livejournal.com]

You're suggesting he lap his milk out of a bowl?

re-dicking-fuckulous. i dont care if the kid did have an ak47, maybe even some jimmy walker style dyn-O-mite!!! on his chest. he only gets one senior picture, let it be somethin he can show his kids and say "thats who i was back at that time". anything goes. nice sword though, definitely.
