Tales from your kitchen suddenly make a lot more sense.
I have no idea what this is insinuating, but I'm going to go make some rice from a tube by bashing it a lot with a rock.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
If I had telekinetic powers, which television has led me to believe I can have (BTVS and Teen Titans, I'm looking at youse), then intruders would be no problem, damn it.

Sean, you can kill the mold with the rock.

I'd dart for the walking stick.
The military tradition of the Hefty Stick is almost as long as that of the Sizable Rock. A noble weapon indeed.
But really, there are two knives hanging over the door within arm's length of me -- I can get those on retreat, and the attacker is less likely to notice them and use them.
Unless he's a Leggy fan, and then he'd recognize them instantly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You don't have to be a Legolas fan to work out they're knives, and being one won't tell you where they are.
I don't think.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
If someone broke into my apartment right now, I'd throw Ruby at him.
Nothing spells "surprise" more than a cat hurled at your face, claws extended.

Don't forget the boiling oil. You should ALWAYS keep a pot of boiling oil on the stove for safety's sake.
Ah, STRAW DOGS is such a handy movie for impromptu self-defense in the face of overwhelming numbers, isn't it?

Ayup. So y'all'd be keeping me safe.

You don't have to be a Legolas fan to work out they're knives, and being one won't tell you where they are.
That's why your choice of placement is brialliant. The way they're sort of hung there like you might hang a purse off a door handle -- a frequently used tool, ready to go at a moment's notice -- rather than on display on the wall or something, plus that specialized sheath for them... I can see how an interloper in your apartment, especially at night, might not really be able to figure out what they were, or might not even notice them at all.
That's not exactly where you expect someone to keep two combat knives (bordering on short swords). Particularly not the unassuming woman who lives there (if he's seen you already).
I imagine he'd be very surpised indeed when you drew one (oh, *that's* what those are...) and buried it in him.
