Ah, thanks, King. I try to liven things up when I can, since my descriptions are so bland.

"Largest Collection of D&D Items Ever Offered" says the seller.

Axe of the Dwarvish Lords

Hard to beat the mission statement from this seller....



"I was born a Texan and Raised a Redneck. We like everything bigger here in Texas. With that in mind, I intend to pass the biggest bargains, and the best savings, on to you - with deals that just can't be beat. That's the way it should be."

You know, there are some of us who have lived our entire lives in Texas without drinking moonshine, dipping chewing tabacco, banging a heifer (human or otherwise), saying "Yeeeehaw!", or wearing a ten gallon hat but you'd never guess it from this clown. Sheesh!

Hmmm. I've done all that and I live in Cow Hampshire. Well, except wearing a ten-gallon hat. I have standards.
