Wait... is this a real physical book? I've had this picture for awhile but I thought it was one of those "your childhood ruined" type deals:

The cover art is real, but the words have been changed. The real book is The Sword of Bheleu.

tips cap Much obliged!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's definitely not a real physical book. The author's name is not real and I'm pretty sure it's an anagram of something involving 'penis,' just looking at it, but I don't feel like figuring that out. Someone else is welcome to.

Halt! Mr Penis, sir.

That’s the best I’ve got.

I guess Mr Lit Penis Rash works too but it’s a bit more nonsensical.

You know what they say, everything is a p- I mean, an anagram if you're brave enough

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 days ago

Challenge accepted.

Wait, is sword a euphemism for penis in this book?

[-] oeverbloem@feddit.nl 33 points 3 days ago

A lot of people keep asking me questions that are answered by the cover of my book…

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 days ago

It says right there. Like three times. Which isn't suspicious at all.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

No! Absolutely not! Down boy! Bad doggy!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I'm not seeing it.

[-] Mickey7@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Have you never heard of a "sword fight" ?

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

I loved those great illustrated classics.

Still tricking me into believing I read stuff like black beauty or count of Monte cristo

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 2 days ago

How the hell do you sheathe and unsheathe a sword from your back? 🤔

[-] ArgentRaven@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Shad from the YouTube channel Shadiversity made a back scabbard that actually works, but it's not historical. Historically, people didn't really do it.

He also made a bow carrier on his back, to mimic a lot of movies and games.

[-] AEsheron@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

To be a bit more precise, people did sometimes carry swords on their back, but generally not into battle. It was more comfortable for travel, but impossible to draw, so when they were expecting trouble they would move it to the hip.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

You don't. If you carry your sword sheathed on your back, you first take the whole thing off, like a backpack.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Ask the people who made the Highlander TV series. They apparently unsheathed them out of their ass.

[-] HowAbt2morrow@futurology.today 6 points 3 days ago

Unsheathing that bad mamajamma requires at least two hands. Small hands, though. For the picture.
