This must have been creative writing night around the threads--wow! Great post! I hope everyone will forgive this case of incipient effusiveness afflicting me ...but GAUGUIN,when you get rolling, you are very good with a story! I usually get a little blurry-eyed over weapons discussions (unlike Alexa, who really does know guns, I think, despite her wide-eyed bimbo act), so it took me a minute to realize you meant real spuds and to reread the post.. Which then gave rise to some happy speculation over my first cup of coffee- Couldn't you shoot all sorts of things-? If you wanted to humiliate rather than kill, could you use rotten tomatoes? The modern day equivalent of tomato throwing at the stage..Or for a refreshingly aromatic battle, citrus fruits-an automatic air freshener to dispel the odor of carnage as it happens? On the opposite end of the fragrance spectrum is the durian--either expelled whole for total annihilation or with the innards wrapped in net for merely coating the victim in a thin patina of odoriferous durian guts. And if you're feeling creative, you could also fill cheesecloth with small items-grapes, cherries, strawberries, lichee-small bouquets garnis to add spice to your battle bouillon. AND(listen up, girls) think of the power a cucumber could have! Oh my. |
