Ear dagger

An ear dagger is a relatively rare and exotic form of dagger that was used during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. It is so named because the pommel of the dagger has a very distinctive shape, somewhat resembling a human ear. Ear daggers frequently have a single sharpened edge that ends in an acute point.

It is thought that the ear dagger was introduced to Europe from Spain, where it presumably originated from the Moors.

Design

"In the 14th century an interesting version of the rondel appeared. This was the eared dagger, which shares its heritage with the blade known to the Turks as the yataghan and to the Cossacks as the shashqa. The pommel of eared daggers was split in two to allow the thumb to be hooked over the pommel to impart greater force to the stabbing blow. Curiously, despite its (odd) appearance, the eared dagger became widely associated with royalty and was also a favorite weapon of assassins in Italy during the 15th and 16th centuries."

War Toy

by: GWAR

Tongue in my anal cave
Churning through the bestial muck
A cosmic forklift rules my throbbing asshole
The all eye says you are the right slave
To be my anal knave, tongue in my anal cave
Boy, you're just a war toy
You're my little anal butter boy
Oh, I'm so filled with joy, oh, I'm so filled with joy
Now I know glee
Ten million hosebags every day
They die for me to have my way
Surely, it is their deaths they seek
To brave my toxic anal reek
Yes, I'm so glad he is among us
I'm so glad he is a fungus
I'm so glad he is among us, philled condoms
My nipples explode
You're just a war toy
You're my little anal butter boy
Oh, I'm so filled with joy, oh, I'm so filled with joy
Now I know glee, till I'll be he
Let's all go drink and kill and fart
Now sure it's fun, but is it art? Toughie
The all eye sees the butt disease
Humanity is on their knees with little boys
That little war toys
And what a pretty little butter boys
Oh, I'm so filled with joy, oh, I'm so filled with joy
