Ok, so I wasn’t the only one who noticed this.

I have a hunch there was some backyard mechanical device some idiot was making for a Youtube video and they mis-aimed… but a lot of my hunches, these days, are “social media.”

Yes, I have trouble even reading the headline. How is that not on purpose?

I hope the headline and phrasing within this article are soon changed @beschizza
The author needs to think about having done this.

“Yeeted” is its past tense, not “yote.”

I believe they’re using the Dative case, so the correct form is “Done gone went and yote.”

I can’t even read the actual article, having been traumatized by a similar event in a Steven Weber TV movie in the 90s. I always get out from behind trucks that are carrying rebar or other long skinny things because of it!

The spear looks well made. It’s hard to tell from the images exactly what the construction is but it’s not just a knife gaffer-taped to a broom handle. It looks too heavy and ornate to be a javelin.
Presumably there are people in the USA who like to own such weapons for atavistic hunting purposes.

Wow! Great find – Thank you!!
$139.00 on their website. OMG I am beginning to regret looking there. A lot of it is for people who think a zombie apocalypse would be a cool chance to deploy their tactical war spoons.

Four hours at three seventy five in an oven, basting as needed. You can open spitroast as well, but getting a turnstyle that large is difficult and it takes longer, Plus I recommend the basic oven recipe for overall quality of the seared fender meat, just use a really good BBQ sauce for best flavor.

Cool! But how does it work thin slicing beef for bulgogi?

I’ve also seen something very similar at Academy Sports and Outdoors for $55. They also carry a modern gladius-esque sword. They’re tucked in next to the pepper spray and discount stun guns, just down the aisle from the tiny archery supplies section.
I confess I kind of wanted one of those spears, but not enough to drop $55 on an impulse buy. I was reading some post-apocalypse sci-fi at the time, though. Yeah, I think I’m over it now.

Wow. A gladius is a very specialised sword for fighting in a tight formation with the aid of a large infantry shield. It is absolutely useless as a machete. What a stupid product.
Especially because they chose to adapt the late Fulham style of gladius (on top in the image below). They could at least have chosen a Mainz gladius (the lower one in the image), which has a broader blade and a leaf shape, making it at least a little bit more useful as a machete…
But then of course, this isn’t supposed to be used as a machete. It’s for mall ninjas to swing around in front of the mirror and dream about the day a person with the wrong skin colour breaks into their apartment.

Baby Driver would like a word: you probably don’t want to see what happens to Bats (bad guy) in the final heist!

Exactly why I never saw Baby Driver! I had heard about it ahead of time!

If you had a war spoon, or military ladle as they are also known, you would simply beat the meat thin
