Walking Sticks Canes
None of the following is to be taken seriously.
There are many canes that have existed in the world for centuries; that's one hell of a long ass time. Traditionally used for hitting children, the cane remains a favorite among old people and drunk weirdos stuck in the Victorian era.
The original cane was made out of wood. It was good for walking across rooms. But in the end, it was too prone to warping from water and late night HBO.
Later bamboo would come on the scene, this made a particularly good snapping sound and bent when it hit the skulls of young people, causing less damage. The lightweight components and minimized lethality made it an ideal choice over wooden canes.
Cane you dig it!?!?
Upon the arrival of metal canes, many felt that they were not metal enough.. and so sword and gun canes came upon the scene.
With news of this, many children ran to the circus.. unknowing of the harsh conditions that came from chemically-unlabeled, mid-50's employees with translucent-rimmed visors and nicotine-stained eyelids. This is where Bloodrayne came from.
History.. its what's for dinner.
