Ok Gordon, I can hang with the knife show:

I was watching one of those shows about a month ago and there was 2 dudes selling a set of 275+ knives for $1.66 each!
Of course, you had to buy them all but you got a couple of big swords and some other stuff.

There was also a "sword show" (which sounds really gay but wasn't)where they had a "9/11 Memorial Sword" dedicated to "first responders".

It was your basic sword about 4 feet long and etched into the blade were the logos for the NYFD, NYPD and whatever the logo is for EMTs.
Anyway, in betweenline of logos it simply said "america's Heroes" "First Responders".

I immediately imagined someones poor grandma sitting in Kentucky or Idaho pulling out her Captial One ('what's in your wallet?')Card and committing herself to a budget breaking $35-for-3-months-flex-pay because her grandson once upon a time said he wanted to be a fireman.
Never mind that he's now 23 and lives with his girlfriend and sells meth. Nope, in Grandma's mind he's gonna be a fireman and, dammit, he'd like this sword.

take a look:
