And so once again misunderstandings across international waters that have the potential to turn man against man in the epic struggle to understand just what exactly nerf is. Isn't this how wars start? Someone making an innocent comment about using Nerf bats to whack some poor fellow, then snide jokes about how European's don't even know what Nerf bats are, next thing you know an innocent remark by one foreign diplomat remarking about how badly dressed the world leader and/or monarch of either country is and then blaming it on each other.
Tsk tsk...
One definition of Nerf:
Nerf is of course the subdivision of Larami, which in turn is a subdivision of Hasbro. It produces foam firing toy "blasters" and soft sports equipment. However, as long as there have been nerf guns there have been people taking them way too seriously. We take them apart, we modify them, and we shoot them at each other in large gatherings. In recent years these gatherings, thanks to increasing internet organization, have become larger and further reaching than ever before.
