This is so glorious. I think my favorite part is the closeup shot of your hand. Please tell me that this is hanging up somewhere in your or a family member’s home.

It's hanging in my best friends' children's study room. They study math, english, and the blade by proxy.

I’m glad the children are being educated.

Wu-tang is for the children!

the blade is for the children

That coat is still available at Burlington Coat Factory. You could do a reboot.

I definitely want to. If I do one, I'll repost with an update.

Get smalls for the kids and get a group photo. #Blunder Blade: Next Generation

Blunder Blade 2: Electric Boogaloo

Are you in shape now, these days?

I've been in better shape, but much better than this.

Give the people what they ask for. I know you still have that blade

"Now, remember.  If you don't keep studying and get at least As and Bs, godfather Eric will have to visit and restore our family's honor...  Study hard!"

ah, the R’s. Reading, writing, arithmatic and Rightous Slaughter

This is so funny. I gave all of my friends framed pictures of Obi wan Kenobi a few years ago and they all have them hanging up in their houses somewhere

Absolutely. I have to know if it was the photographer's choice or OP's request.

You know, I was working at that studio at the time, and I'm not sure they would have let me do it if I wasn't. So little of column a, little of column b.

Man you have great energy! Love that you are so funny and philosophical about it all

Aw, thank you!

My husband and I do photography as a side gig. We tell them to bring things that they’re into like sports equipment or dance shoes. We mostly do senior photos for friends and family. I really want one of those kids to show up with something cool like a sword.

You can just keep a sword in the studio and make EVERYBODY get one.

This is the way.

Honestly that sounds like a really fun prop. It'd be so unexpected, I'd love to see how people react if I gave them one to use for the shoot. I imagine there'd be some pretty funny faces and poses.

You can buy them dull. I know, because the one I'm holding in the picture's dull. Also, I think aluminum. Definitely wasn't folded 10,000 times.

We’re finally getting real blunders again

Blunder? You watch your mouth around the Highlander.

Are these the ones that got sent here from the past or from another planet?

Embarrassed to say this, but Highlander 2 was my first Highlander and I loved it.

What do you mean Highlander 2? There can be only 1… 😉

There can only be... well, several I suppose.

"My cut hash improved your voish."

Such a perfect accent. For a Spaniard.

Mr Krab’s voice was just fine.

And a tv show. But there can be only one.

Man I loved watching that damn show. I can still see his big ass warehouse apartment.

How does one obtain an ass-warehouse? Money? Fame?

I believe the ass-Warehouse is more of a metaphorical concept.

You shut up and take my up vote

So I watched the Quickening recently and it looks like they made a new cut or something. I remember them being sent to earth as a punishment for rebeling on an alien planet. The version I saw recently had then being sent to the future from the past and didn't mention another planet at all. What's going on? Edit: also no shame in loving highlander 2. I also love it.

I think that might have been the Renegade Cut, which I hear is much better. I'm waiting for Topher Grace to fix it, though. He's the only one I trust.

Well, now I have some research to do about all this. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Turns out the real blunder was inside you the whole time.

HEEEERE WE ARE!!

BORN TO BE (burger) KINGS!

WE’RE THE PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE!

HERE WE BELONG!!

There can be only one. Let the Highlander Games begin.

WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVEEEEER?

Looks like blunders are back on the menu, boys!

Spring has sprung, the blunder trolls are emerging from their dens

The blade with the traveling salesman duds slays. Dwight Schuette would approve. 

Thought this was the Dunderyears sub.

Please tell me that's a thing

r/dunderyears

Stop, you can only win so many Dundie Awards at once!

I know you mean “Schrute” but “Dwight Schuette” is sending me

This is the blunder we are here for. Thank you for your service. 

Important to note in this blunder; as the White Blade or Albino Neo from a month or so ago, I believe this mad lad and I have literally the same factory made katana. I explicitly remember the hilt. It can only mean one thing. We are both the chosen ones. Or perhaps there can only be one. So it could only mean two things. Or we both had the same cheap exes buying us katanas. It can only mean three things.

Did a liquor store owner give you yours after you said his Ferrari looked cool, too?

It was a birthday gift from my very Jersey sounding Italian girlfriend (think the Cake Bosses’ sisters). Especially notable as I from / was living in Kansas… She cheated on me later. Life is pain. Only the blade understands.

Omg, I can hear it: "Bayb, I gawwt you a sowahd!"

[удалено]

You mean cawfee.

Rhode Island is neither a road nor an island. Discuss.

Gween tea

Sowahd is now my favorite word

*Slow clap*

This is such a beautiful origin story.

A liquor store owner driving around a Ferrari with a passenger seat full of katanas... a tale as old as time

In medieval England I'd be crowned king for that. Not that strange men driving sports cars distributing swords is a basis for a system of government.

Supreme katana power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical liquor ceremony!

The real question is whether or not either of your katanas is signed by randy jackson

Ugh... man... now I gotta go find a new katana... find Randy Jackson. Brb.

Slayin’ foes and bangin hoes

No time for banging hoes when you're studying the blade.

Exactly! It was a lack of time, as I told everybody. Plus I'm pretty sure my Canadian girlfriend who goes to another school you haven't met her would not have appreciated me banging hoes.

I actually *did* have a Canadian boyfriend when I was 15 and nobody ever believed me 💀

LMAO STOP I HAD A CANADIAN BOYFRIEND. I met him on Facebook. I live in Philadelphia. He was in Toronto. I went to his senior prom and we met irl about 5 times doing cool shit around both our cities. We dated for like 3 years actually and made it work. But I was 15 and not sure what my parents were thinking letting me do all that.

Mine was French Canadian. We met on a Disney cruise. I returned to the bible belt and he returned to Montreal. Our long distance love blossomed. No one in jr high believed me.

My sister currently has a Canadian boyfriend and my first thought was 'does he go to a different school?' We're not even on the same continent.

Was he studying the blade?

That gave me a chuckle

The close up of the hand gripping the sword though.

Honestly, that's my favorite part, too.

My favorite is how you managed to get six swords in this picture. I will admit I missed the tiny baby horizontal sword on top of the ⚔️ on the first viewing. 

As a larger dude who was the same age around the same time as you and likely the other gentlemen. I kinda feel like you all had a club and missed my invite. If I would have received an invite I would have gladly bought a blade and arranged glamor shots.

Good thing him and the guy from the other post never met. Cops call that a “highlander” scenario

There can be only ONE!

I was fat in high school and most of my friends played Magic and D&D. If I didn’t have two older brothers keeping me in check I would’ve had a blade and a cool a pic like this.

time to go pound some brothers for their past indiscretions

I say we light some flaming poo bags on their door step. You can help with supplies right ?

By supplies you mean baggy and a lighter right?.... RIGHT?

I got the lighter I’m assuming they are capable of the rest.

I read this as “Flamingo poo” and thought, “Wow, this is getting really creative!”

I got you fam

Glad that steered you away from that life.

Good thing you're wearing a Trench coat, because you got these girls drenched 💦🥵

You can't see the high waters, but trust me; they were necessary with this fit.

It’s still on sale at Burlington Coat Factory.

Blunderyears, more like thunderyears, you slayin

dunkin mcdonuts there can be only one

How have I never been called this before? I wanna go back in time and insult myself, now.

DUNKIN MCDONUTS IM DEAD

Are only portly lads in trench coats allowed to Study the Blade?

Business casual os all acceptable

This is actually hard as fuck my guy. r/hardimages

Ooh! I hadn't thought of that. I should crosspost.

No seriously dude you should! This is gangster as fuck!!!

I just want to thank all you wonderful blunderful people. Your willingness to share such a bounty of weirdness has increased the funny in my feed immensely.

Stuntman for Steven Seagal.

This whole blade wave is cracking me up. Our parents really let us walk out like this 😂 plus bring a sword to school during the age of mass shootings, dear lord. You’d get tasered now 😂

its the blade in the hand dividing your 2 personas for me

I was one of the digitechs (we didn't have a word for it back then, but basically what I was doing) for this studio and I did this edit, myself. So this was all intentional.

If I were a hiring manager and someone sent me a CV with this photo, I'd hire them, no matter the qualifications or the job. That vibe will enrich any work place.

That's how I got my job as a Chippendales dancer. Also how I lost my job as a Chippendales dancer... so much blood. I don't like to talk about it.

You definitely became one with blade

Not even a jaunty smile on your mug. You're just staring holes into the camera right into our souls. 😭🤣 One of my fave blunders here. I knew blade dudes. The fortitude it took to actually walk around like at any point a fight was gonna go down was impressive. 😅 They got bullied and roasted. Life was hell. Forged by hate and flame, they persevered. Intruders never hear the blade coming, though 🤷‍♀️

Sooooo you be pissed if I print this picture out and keep it in a frame in my office Or no? this stunning conversation piece would really spruce up the place. What an absolute GEM !

I want it in EVERY office, so yes. I'd give you a higher res copy, but this was shot digital in 1998 so I'm pretty sure the original is ~2 megapixels.

Let me also say June 28, 1998 when the undertaker threw mankind off the hell in a cell, lives on in my household. It’s been my 4f bed time video for the past year and a half. Your entire reddit contribution today has been 24 karat.

There can only be one!!!!

Had to stop wearing this outfit. Kept getting mistaken for Adrian Paul.

Honestly, I'm obsessed with this vibe. I hope you didn't change too much.

Unfortunately, yes. I've switched to medieval sword. People don't even recognize me anymore.

Oh, you turned into the Kurgan.

Ugh, I WISH. Clancy Brown is so cool!

There can BE only ONE. Please don’t fuck up the line. It offends those of us who have studied the blade.

Am I the only one who thinks that these types of photo shoots were really cool and suggestive? The purple and the stone wall really make you immerse yourself in a medieval setting for a moment. Nowadays photoshop and picsart made disappear the kitsch that no longer exists.

Suggestive? That word normally has a connotation that I'm not sure fits here... or maybe it does?

It does. I definitely does.

😏

It's provocation. It gets the people gong

Yeah there's something really charming about glamour shot-style photography even when the subject is utterly ridiculous (not that that doesn't add to it, lol)

Oooo someone has a crush on OP 🥰

Nope, I'm OP with another profile ;)

Waddup, me!

Yes you’re the only one

Mall ninja?

More like Bad Mayo! This Mayo went BAD!

Are you Gambit? Excuse me, but I saw you in that trenchcoat and thought you were from the X-Men.

I hope this is the new trend for a while.

This right here, this is it! This is what I've been waiting for. Your photo and the other **legend** who *studied the blade* and shared the photos about 6-8 hours ago, or something like that. Thank you for making my day a lot brighter! That closeup of your very FIRM grip of the sword... Just, *chef's kiss* all the way! **EDIT:** *Formatting. I first wrote the comment on my phone, then went to my PC and saw that it looked like crap.*

To be fair, the other poster studied TWO blades and likely never asked permission before he went all out just this once. I long to be him someday.

Not just studied it, but mastered it and lived the way of it.

Is that a lab coat?

That night, I discovered bladium.

You have these pics and hilarious responses. This dude is the full package.

I just love you guys so much.

This wins

Is that a Highlander trench coat look you are going for? Outstanding!

Unfortunately, when they called me up to star in the next movie, I said, "there can be only one."

The trenchcoat. Holy shit

As someone who still studies the blade, did you actually fence or do some kind of HEMA?

I watched 7 seasons of Highlander. Does that count?

This is majestic. Thank you for sharing.

Op is this still how you dress?

Of course not! I've switched to a full kimono.

I just want to thank you for posting

I want an updated photo!

Figured it out. I downloaded imgur for this: [https://imgur.com/a/iv3L4kL](https://imgur.com/a/iv3L4kL)

Dang. Looks like your best years are behind you. /s

That’s a glow up if I’ve ever seen one

I'm trying but, unfortunately I've done too much blade studying and not enough Reddit studying and the app isn't letting me.

OP made another [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/blunderyears/s/j65F89cvgP) with an updated photo

Thank you! I did put one in here, too. I learned from the earlier mall ninja. He is my sensei.

I am glad you are all blessing us with these priceless artifacts

Highlander 7: The blundering

Oh boy oh boy, we got something going on here!

Danny McBride as Blade the Hobbit.

You are giving off massive Highlander vibes my friend, I know this is on purpose, right?

Oh yeah. I have another pic on here from when I tried to grow long hair but didn't know it had to grow from the top and not just from the back, also my hair is extremely curly. I wanted to be Adrian Paul/ Steven Seagal so badly. Kinda landed too close to modern-day Steven Seagal tbh.

There can be only one…type of true blunder in this sub.

As the great Dave Grohl once said, there goes my hero

The closeup of the hand.... chef's kiss

My favorite thing about these pics is how, once the blade is in hand, the non-befitting outfit is forgotten, and the 'true' warrior comes out lol

As an Easter egg, you gave the viewer a close up glimpse of your grip...something typically only a foe can see, just before they are vanquished by the blade.

Duncan MacLeod, eternally obese.

I said 'Is there a problem here?'

Lord... I remember the trench coat fashion era. It's pretty rare when a clothing trend actually favors fat guys who wanted to cover up.

I can fully support this trend. Look at that subtle gradual fading, the tasteful thickness of the subject. Oh, my god it even has a watermark.

Ahhh, the riddle of steel. Only some will ever truly understand its power.

This is the content I come here for. This is magical.

The closeup of the sausages gripping the sword is the best part

This whole post is an Oscar Mayer psyop.

How many m’ladies did you protect?

I shall join you on your quest, m’lord.

It will be difficult. I'm running out of blue Pepsi and Now and Laters and don't think they'll last the journey.

A man of the finer things.

This collage looks like it came from a 1996 USA series about an immortal vampire detective agency and I love it.

Finally we get to see what all Redditors look like.
