Armed and dangerous

A couple days ago I was lamenting the fact that I didn’t have a proper weapon to go along with my Spartan costume.  I was looking online to grab me a sword.  The place I got the costume from was out of spartan swords, damn it.  I resigned myself to just using an old baseball bat as my weapon.  You could imagine my joy and excitement when I came home yesterday to find a four and a half foot long sword AND a shield on the kitchen counter!

Ali was at Target yesterday and saw these and grabbed them for me.  The sword is very cool, it has a skull at the top and looks very menacing.  I grabbed it and swung it around a few times.  I adorned my shield as well and checked out the visual in the mirror.  It should be quite the scene come Halloween.  It was very nice of Ali to equip me.  A spartan is nothing without his sword and his shield…
