I wouldn't call every knife a weapon

Neither would I. But I wouldn't expect to be challenged for saying knives are weapons.

lisah -- Lambada is a 1990 movie.

Ah! That's what I love! A good Buffista debate on terminology.

However, the thing that popped out at me when I read the HB snippet was this:

"I think I'm really hoping to do another 'Catwoman,'" Berry told reporters

You think so? You aren't sure? I mean dang, if she can't tell if she actually hopes so, how is anyone else supposed to guess?

I just found out that she is diabetic. I did not know that.

But I wouldn't expect to be challenged for saying knives are weapons.

I'm notoriously sloppy and capricious about language, but I don't think a knife is a weapon in the same way a gun is a weapon. Knives have many non-weapon uses. (Ask me again next week, maybe I'll go the other way.)

I just saw that. sad.

I just found out that she is diabetic. I did not know that.

Did you find out in an ad? I'd read it somewhere, but I've recently seen she's a spokesperson of some sort for a diabetes-related organisation.

I wouldn't either. But I think the history of the knife, the explicit design and use of some models to cause pain in an opponent leans me towards an easy weapon designation.

Sickles -- there I might waffle, even though I've trained with one. Which suddenly reminded me T-Boz is a spokesperson for a sickle-cell anaemia organisation. God, we black women are sick, aren't we?

But I think the history of the knife, the explicit design and use of some models to cause pain in an opponent leans me towards an easy weapon designation.

I'd be easier based on the model. The knives in my kitchen are like the hammers in my closet -- not made to be weapons, although they'd do a lot of damage easily.

What in the wide wide world of sports is going on?

I say this all the time. No one ever gets it.

Well, the butter knives, and the dinner knives, only surely? I mean -- steak knives and cleavers and chef's knives and paring knives -- those are just an opponent short of a bloodbath!

I swear -- the krav shower I was recently at was mostly very normal. But damn, if her eyes didn't light up just a little bit oddly when she got to the Vera Wang cake serving set gift. Her poor inlaws.

I mean -- steak knives and cleavers and chef's knives and paring knives -- those are just an opponent short of a bloodbath!

Dude! They are just like the hammer! Meant to be tools, good as a weapon as well. Not made to be a weapon!! Just because you're bloodthirsty doesn't make my knife a weapon.

Hammers aren't ANYWHERE near as good weapons. This my bloodthirst assures me.
