Swords = Cool!
Gotta have 'em to complete the costume at the Renaissance Faire!
Anyway, I use them to decorate the walls - but then I am a big Fantasy/D&D fan - some friends of mine from our high school days (back in the 80's - we had a club that played every week) STILL to this day get together for role-playing. Even my wife like to play!
Give me a few good friends, some dice, and a good RPG - I'll take that ANY DAY over playing an RPG on the computer or console
P.S. - We are not mental cases - the swords stay on the wall
Now if I could only fing a good deal on some other medieval weapons for my home......mace, morning star, halberd, battle-axe.....etc.....
