Daughter broke the rules, and got a whupping for it. I'm fine with that, I'll even hold your coat while you're busy doing it.
THEN, just to prove to her that you can't just run around doing whatever you like, you must put your armor on, so I can continue beating you at this ungodly hour. [I'm thinking this is the adult version of doing whatever you want, and therefore tends to nullify whatever lesson was being reinforced.] AND THEN, just to make sure that I've made my point, you must watch a tele-evangelist for a few hours.
Seriously, I'm pretty sure that there are specific clauses against tele-evangelists in the Geneva Convention.
Now, before anyone calls this a story (and I'm not at all sure that it is), did anyone see her armor? The story is quick to call it faux-armor, but people that 'train' with wooden swords usually use some serious padding - if they have any brains.
And wouldn't her visible bruises be from earlier bouts?

In fact ... Why the hell did this need to be posted here? I honestly don't understand. I've been seeing a lot of 'ungaming' (as the tags seem to say) news that I honestly don't think belong here. I'll admit the Escapist isn't just a video-game related website, but I'd still consider it an 'entertainment-focused website.' That doesn't mean serious stuff needs to be avoided. But I do think that it still needs to have some relation to the other content or main focus of the site. As it is, this story seems really out of place here.
Hear, hear! Well spoken, Bruce!
I think the keyword 'sword' triggered the 'titillation' subroutine in the news department. You know, because if Link uses a sword, then any darn fool of a human being that plays with wooden swords - as if they are Peter Pan - must be barmy. Like me.
