A cold day in Georgia!
 

That is ice on the mountain behind me. Yes it is Georgia taken on 12/20/2004
Will take another shot when it gets warmer, was 6 degrees when picture was taken.
The two bowie knives, made by Al Pendray, are wootz. One is from a 200-300 year old ingot, from Oriental Arms, while the other Bowie is made from Al Pendray's own wootz, both has his gold horseshoe around a "P" logo with the old woots also has a "B-1" on the blade, both have Ivory hilts.

Me (for real)
 

I believe that specimen is holding a butter knife. And its been used to great effect.

Here's me doing the medeival thing:

somewhere in the backwoods of moroland...

To Moro or not to Moro ?
 

Zamboanga , I am sure that gives a few the chills, not all know that MILF word is not what we think here in California it is ... I have a question, at one point I was speaking to a American-Filipino (born in PI) and when I said Moro he wasnt very happy with the word I used to describe the ,,Muslim people living in the south parts of the Philippines, mainly Mindanao,, he admonestated me saying that calling them ,,Moro ,, is like saying ,,savages,,. Henever give into my theory that Moro comes from spanish ,,Moorish,, (a word to describe anyone of Islamic faith) but on the same time I see description of institution where I see the word Moro like Bangsamoro, MILF and so on ... :o Enlighten me, please :confused: ?

radu,

you are right about the history of the term moro (Philippine history books and online information will bear this out).

i guess the person you were talking to was non-moro, never lived in mindanao and didn't take his history lessons seriously.

if your friend cares to know more about the moros ask him to visit www.bangsamoro.com. The following definition are from that site:

Moro. n. - a citizen of moroland;
Bangsamoro. n. - a proud race of proud moros.

Zamboanga : El persona, con quien ta conversa tu, bien bueno gayot ! :D What do you say, can my chavacano help me pass unoticed and get some curacha or buy a trip with the vintas in the city of Flowers ? :D

haha radu, you made my day :D

pwede ser mi amigo. you can pass yourself as a zamboangueño.

instead of the curacha you should try our satti - mas sabroso - the hottest and the best dish in town.

santiki my friend!

Well, I hope Moroland stays safe with the earthquake disasters going on right now ... so I guess I`ll rather have you over in Transylvania and skip the satti for a very bloody steak , oops pork on the menu ... :D

Conogre, if those pics were taken long time apart, then its a sign you need a new pair of shoes :D
P.S. I checked with the real estate agent on your street and he said the houses next door to yours they always move out fast and sell cheap and I was wondering why ? :eek: :D

LOL!
I have several pair of mocassins, my footwear of choice, as my great-grandmother on both sides of the family was Native American, Seneca and Mackinack......watered down, but we do have to suppport our tribes, right?
Plus my Roman sandles hadn't arrived yet for the 2nd pic! LOL!
Zelbone, I saw several of the carved PI shields with the two warrior heads carved on the front in that site you posted.........I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who likes them (I have 2) and tourist or not, I wouldn't trade them for the world!
