Indeed, when held by its shoulders, that cat is of considerable length.

My affluence makes a nonsense of the regulations!

My regulations make a nonsense of your affluence!

The results of your actions are quite visible to me.

Help me readers! I accidentally four filing cabinets. Is that bad?

I think Sherlock Holmes is a rather admirable chap. Eh catches criminals and doesn't afraid of anything.

My first reaction was of disappointment, but upon further observation, I laughed heartily!

Gentlemen, I shall remind you that now you are in Lacedaemonia.

The excrement proved to be quite profitable.

My sincere apologies, but I cannot make out what you have said. I believe it is due to the din of how awesome I am drowning it out.

This obvious deception is obvious.

I say, I do wonder what all the fuss is about this Spring-Heeled Jack fellow, I have said his name and nothing seems to have occur-

Unbeknownst to you, I have already breached your encampment and begun to rout your militia!

Lascivious plates? In my journal?
It is more likely than you think.

I say, that H. G. Wells has given quite an unfair advantage to the troops on his side! When I tries to launch my assault upon that curious octopoid being on his side of the floor, and he responded simply by rolling a die from my shut-the-box set and informing me that the resulting number of my troops had been summarily ingested. Egad!

The indoor swimming bath is not open to the public at present, and will not reopen in the foreseeable future.

A multitude of quite sizable insects! I do declare, Sir Rico!

An infiltrator is sabotaging my lookout post!

We must stockpile additional quantities of vespene vapor!

Apparently Miss Kirisame has been in your house thieving your precious things.

ESTEEMED PERSONAGES OF HIGH BIRTH AND SOCIAL STATUS, WITH WHOM I MAY ENTER INTO SOCIAL INTERCOURSE WITHOUT FEAR OF DETRIMENT TO MY REPUTATION, AND OF WHOSE STAUNCH MORAL CHARACTERS I CAN SAFELY VOUCH

I do believe this picture has been doctored. I can tell it from the uncouth brush strokes around the edge on the left hand side, and I have seen many a doctored painting in my time.

I can say most definitely, that, rather then being appreciative of the above posts. I am instead extremely disdainful of the aforementioned items. Indeed it could be said that I in no way desire to see them on subsequent occasions, nor to copy and paste them. Therefore, please refrain from continuing to post this category of item. Thank you and good day.

This gentleman's musicianship is stellar.

I have quite had it. I'm sick of all this "riding sabre" pollycock that's going on in the gentlemen's fencing clubs right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I wager I would know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about 50 pounds and four shilling!) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. Verily, I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.

Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.

Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a continental musketeer with a simple horizoontal slash.

Ever wonder why Napoleon never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Why, in Japanese-Russian war, Russian soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require more respect in fencing clubs. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:

For those who may have skimmed my treastrise, Katanas are formidable!

This discussion has been taken over and its topic is now Chess; I am laughing out loud at that fact.

On the contrary, you scoundrel; I believe that upon further examination you shall find your remark more applicable to yourself than to any other man present!
