I cannot stress the importance of foot protection enough, people! Congrats on your new tool, Jimmie. May it serve you well whether you are whipping Nazis or stray tree branches.

PS Did I ever relate to you all the time I had a discussion with my local sheriff about the legality of owning a bullwhip? Good. It took an odd turn near the end...

: Hey everyone...

: I rec'd my new Bullwhip from a fella in NZ today, goes by the name of The Whip Man, and I have to say that this is one of the best bullwhips I have ever seen/owned!!

: It's a 16 plait, 7 footer, with the fall rounds out to about 11 ft or so...

: I haven't had much of a chance to break it in yet, but I was out in the front yard for a few today getting it loosened up....

: What's cool is how light this thing is compared to my other, cheaper whips!! No more huffing and puffing after throwing a whip about thirty or so times!!

: AND, I can do that cool overhead crack Indy does in the marketplace brawl scene...I reallly couldn't before, without swinging my whip all the way around my body, since they are heavy, and just plain fly wrong.

: This guy has earned a customer for life.....but it's too bad that he raised his prices from the last time I ordered...means I can order about half the whips I probably would have!!

: Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you all...

: Later,

: Indiana Jimmie
