Yeah, for sure, it's weird as hell. Can't do movies or shows where kids get hurt or abducted either.

Ugh.
Also dead baby jokes, not that I was a huge fan to begin with, but if they were well crafted I could appreciate it on principle.


Edit: Awesome page snipe, lemme see if I can find a funny pic:

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Have nunchucks ever been used as a practical weapon?

I've always had the impression they were basically made to train your coordination because if you can swing them around without hitting yourself you're probably pretty skilled.


Is it like the flail in Europe where it started out as a farming tool but was modified for battle only they took the abstraction a lot further in the east?

It's a mesmerizing album. There's probably good reason no one before or since has even tried to play jazz on bagpipes but I'm glad Rufus Harley did.

I also like the backstory where Rufus hears bagpipes for the first time watching JFKs funeral on TV and is so amazed at their mournful sound that he basically teaches himself to play on some ratty pawn shop bagpipes and dodges his neighbour's frequent noise complaints by asking the cops "Do I look Scottish to you?".

They're just a shortened rice flail anyway, not much more abstract. And neither Eastern nor Western flails ever saw much military use apart from occasional peasant uprising/conscription for exactly that reason. They're hard to use and not as effective as they look. But they look cool so how to use or defend yourself against them got played up at the writing desk and training hall for as little as it saw the battlefield.
