My daughter expresses some interest in fishing.
I think she's just trying to please me.

catching a fish is like delving into the unknown. A whole other world. And what you catch is a surprise.

Not if you know what you're doing.
Occasionally, yes. Always, no.

Unless you're the unheard of fishing genius. The Mozart of fishermen.
You don't take me serious anyways, right BB?

First of all, this sword is not Excalibur.

There are two key reasons I say this. One, is that the legend of Arthur and his knights is just that, a legend, very possibly one which originates with Charlamagne, whose sword, which was named Joyeuse (roughly translates as Joyful), is almost certainly the basis for the notion of an Excalibur like object, and is the only absolutely real and not at all mythical blade which even comes close.

The other is that this sword is simply the wrong style of blade to be Excalibur or even anything related to it by period.

What does Excalibur mean?
Is it derived from excelsior?

No search that I have done over the years, has yeilded particularly specific meanings or firm details of that, and the best I have ever come up with was a Wikipedia page on the topic of the name, which goes into the forms and origins of the word somewhat. However, since we are talking about a mythic object, as opposed to a real thing, the entire idea of meaning flies out the window, since I have been known to call things in stories I have written over the years by entirely stupid names, which have precisely no meaning. Like "Twiddlybunks" or "Trampusglobs", for example.
