I've been spending a fair amount of time in Johannes Leckuchner's treatise, entitled Kunst des Messerfechtens, of "The Art of Messer Fencing." A truly compendious tome on this art, one that, I believe, is chock full of excellent guidance regarding how to fight with that big ol' knife.
However, discussing the overall merits of his work or of the noble science of Messer fighting isn't really why we're here today. No, nothing nearly that serious. Leckuchner's treatise is full of useful illustrations, some of which show some rather unusual things going on -- especially when taken out of context. So, having previously shown a willingness to make humorous posts based on goofy pictures, we will do that again with these Messy (see what we did there?!) illustrations.
Enjoy!
"You are the clumsiest goofball I have ever seen, Karl."
"How did this fight turn into a dance?!"
"Somebody is getting a spanking, young man!"
"No, Karl, it is not your turn yet."
"Aaaaaand dip!"
"Karl, seriously...did you fall down again?!"
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaah, attack of the giant birds!"
"Yes, Karl, you're going on a trip. No, Karl, you're going alone."
"Rock, paper, scissors -- shit!"
