there is simply so much to work with here:

It's all part of a very intricate plan "my son". Style with substance. Little do you know that that collar has a anti-garrote protection metal band inside it. The rectangular metal collar adornment is to facilitate the trapping of the wire (professionals always use thin wire, not rope; it is less visible while being slipped over the victims head (less reaction time), has a degree of stiffness that allows a smooth movement to occur, cuts quickly and deeply into the neck, and does not allow for fingers to slip beneath it no matter the level of desperation) under that point so it does not slide up past the protection. This allows for roughly 1-2 seconds to allow me to administer a death blow to the would-be garroter who is concentrating soley on this one act and not on self-protection (which is completely natural, -thinking- he has the ultimate upper hand). Actually, he never even gets the chance to think "Big mistake".

Little slips, tiny errors, insignificant faux pas, like "abot" versus "about", are things that can not be tolerated in my world. The enemy is always to be considered deadly and the razors edge is always close. (Really; unseen by anyone in the photograph above, or in real life, my thumbs always remain exposed as they have very tiny Trac2 razor pieces super glued to the end of my thumbnails (which are always kept very short to increase the stiffness factor). If I tucked them in, or did not pay critical attention to their position at all times, many things would be sliced. The dominant pupose of this is to negate the movement of other martial arts assailants wishing to control my body (via sympathetic nerve response) through manipulation of my thumbs; what you can not touch (or hold on to), you can not control or substantially influence. This is even more valid when surprized and spurting blood from key points, as the assailants attention is then divided. Once again, the thought of "Big mistake" usually never gets to be formed.)

Take the sunglasses for example, they have tiny, tiny mirrors attached at the inside upper corners near the temple edges of the frame. This allows one to see behind themselves. Sneak up on me? ... let's say it altogether now: "Big mistake".

Knowledge is power. The proper utilization of power results in victory. Victory always results in life. Life is a state of mind. Too bad I have to get old.

how could we NOT do it?
