Actually, I'm pretty sure Naproxen is the same medication that's in Aleve, just at a higher dose.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
it can help with the emotional stuff too.
Very interesting.
(Ok, that was a cool response in my head, with the different stress and intonation. I realize it doesn't translate well to print, so use your imagination.)
(Ok, I realize that by trying to sound cool, I may sound not serious, which was not the intent. This really is interesting. It would be even more so if I were regular, but alas...)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Well.

Huh.
Who woulda thunk it? A ray of hope has pierced the gloomy armor of my cynicism.

OW! Fuck! I'm getting hopeburn!
But it's a good burn, baby. A good burn.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep, exactly that.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Am I wrong in thinking we have lots of people in this thread who know lots of stuff about swords and sword fighting?
Cuz I was just reading a Highlander novel, in which Duncan with his claymore faced a female opponent with a rapier. Something about that feels so very wrong. I keep getting mental pictures of the claymore's momentum carrying the rapier to the ground, rather than being parried by it. Also, some of the fighting, as described, sounded far too close-quarters for the claymore to be at all useful. Am I just totally ignorant here?

Naproxen is indeed the active ingredient in Aleve. It does a good job at killing the pain. Unfortunately, it also does a good job of making my throat swell shut, so no Aleve for me.

WindSparrow, I'm certainly not a sword expert, but here's a claymore, and here's a rapier. Rapier's a stabby sword, claymore's a swingy sword. I would think that the claymore would outweigh the rapier, but after reading at that site, I don't know if the claymore is as heavy as I thought.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The advantage the rapier has is that it's faster. You could hit someone several times with rapier before getting one hit in with a claymore because the claymore is so much bigger and heavier.
I have a hard time thinking that you could parry a claymore with a rapier, but it would depend on the angles, I guess. I have parried a rapier with a dagger and that worked. I've also parried a broadsword with a quarterstaff. But never a broadsword with a rapier.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yup, and Aleve will fuck my shit up if I'm not careful. I end up feeling like I'm high sometimes, which is why I rarely take it.

I'm not seeing it at all. The rapier is too flexible, isn't it?
