Lambada is a 1990 movie.
I just saw that. sad.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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 don't think a knife is a weapon in the same way a gun is a weapon
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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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.

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.

I can't even.

Like ita said, whenever I'm handling sharp knives, I think of them as weapons. Keeps me from cutting myself as much, probably. Butter knives I can hardly think of as tools, since they aren't much use even with butter.

Well, if your opponent is wearing plate armor a war hammer (which had a pointy end for metal penetration) was useful.

Butter knives make excellent substitute screwdivers, though.
I've hurt myself equally with a hammer and a knife, I think.
