Very strange man.

DES MOINES, Iowa – A Kansas man asked an Iowa court to grant his motion for trial by combat, so he can meet his ex-wife and her attorney "on the field of battle where (he) will rend their souls from their corporal bodies."

David Ostrom, 40, of Paola, Kansas, claims in court documents that his ex-wife, Bridgette Ostrom, 38, "destroyed (him) legally."

He asked the Iowa District Court in Shelby County to give him 12 weeks' "lead time" to source or forge katana and wakizashi swords, according to the Carroll Times Herald.

I mentioned this on the prior thread on this topic, but the "as recently as 1818" line just killed me.

Someone took GoT way to seriously

And this is coming from a guy with a GoT quote tattooed on his arm

My guess is “all men must die.” But I’d die a happy man if it was a reference to a “Myrish swamp” or a “fat pink mast” (some book readers may remember those).

"Not today."

I don't have "Not today" yet.

So the "There is only one god, and His name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death" is on the inside of my bicep and I kind of want to get catspaw dagger on my tricep with "Not Today" written in the blade.
