A handsome, old, cigar-smoking swordsman with a dog Kuato. #retirement goals

This is so ancient that chihuahua probably passed away of old age

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

False! That Chihuahua is immortal.

Yeah... I'm usually on team "dogs are perfect and eternal" but my experiences have prejudiced me that chihuahuas are some kind of fake dog

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Other people's Chihuahuas are awful little demons. I hated Chihuahuas most of my life. Then my wife adopted one. They're something special, man. They're the cutest, funniest, most loving little creatures with their people. They're just too nervous to be their authentic selves around strangers, and most people don't do the required socialization that all dogs need with small dogs.

Honestly that's close enough to who I am as a person to be deeply uncomfortable

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like you found your spirit animal.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Tell nobody

Or I will bite you

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Yes, lesser demons are technically still demons and thus immortal.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Well, I won't have any more dogs because I can no longer take proper care of one (much less multiple), but yeah, this would be me otherwise.

Hell, I have shown people my edged item collection with my dog on my lap before, I just wasn't as old as I am now lol. I'm particularly proud of a keris from bali that I got as a gift, and I remember showing it off to a small gathering at my home, while everyone was so busy playing with the dog that nobody even remembered the thing the next day. Like, c'mon, it's over a hundred years old, and has been in the same family until it was given to me.

In fairness, my dog at the time was amazing. I wouldn't have paid attention either.

"I've got swords of steel. Hail to the king, baby."

I bought a Roman Gladius from a blacksmith at a Renaissance fair and was cutting my steak with it and every thing I could for the next couple weeks

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Unrealistic, he lives in a house

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Christ I hope I have better taste in kitchen cabinets

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or better taste in paper towel holders that don't look like cocks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It's efficient to fill your house with things that have multiple uses.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Got a good taste in swords though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I will never be this cool.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago
