The Australians are a damned fat, round shouldered, useless crowd of wasters . . . Many attendees were members of the Money Wasters club and their friends. Historically, students and soldiers used wasters as inexpensive and expendable training tools. Fireplaces are one of the biggest energy wasters when the flue is not used properly. These wasters also commonly feature defined edges, pommels, and other typical sword elements. Ed Frazier of the Money Wasters also died in the fire. Money Wasters member Ed Frazier ran the club on the night of the fire. The fenestration in an external wall assembly are the biggest wasters of energy. The form of modern wasters follows from their use as replica training swords. Wasters do not cut flesh, but provide a decidedly blunt impact. Wasters are mentioned in period works, including The Book of the Courtier. Wasters provide a safer training experience than steel weapons at the cost of authenticity. The all wooden construction usually makes wasters somewhat lighter and differently balanced than steel weapons. In Winter 2009 - 2010, the band toured their "Running with the Wasters" album. He argued that the cartoon's target was the "wasters of oil".
