Fighting staffs are pretty cool, I like Matt's use of one in Wheel of Time [if you read those books?] back when I was 4 or 5 or whatever though, things like which one was the coolest toy/ colour were most important, I confess: it was never a particularly informed decision.
Do you have any pictures of your pets? Are we allowed to post pictures here?
