Ever get that sinking feeling? You know, where you missed something?
Not like when you guys point out my grammar and spelling mistakes, I mean when you’ve fallen victim to my favorite aphorism:
“It’s the assumptions you don’t know you’re making that do you the most harm.”
So it’s like when you show up at what was clearly meant to be a Halloween party by the calendar, except that you were assuming that your host didn’t have a birthday a few days before Halloween. You may also have assumed that a costume of an extremely elderly man in a grossly exaggerated adult diaper was going to be such fun that year, but it’s not a good look at a party where the guest of honor is trying desperately to remain young and hip while the age he’s required to admit to belies everything he’s fronting.
Or it’s like when Kara realizes that the rules don’t actually specify anything beyond “Unicycle” and “Bow”.
So, if Kara can talk Lowell into dressing Paste in an adult diaper (because of “the fame”), she doesn’t have to saw through his crossbow cables?
Cocking a crossbow while on the unicycle will take longer than a regular bow. Kara will somehow pull it off though.
What says you cannot have 5 loaded crossbows ready to be used? or however many targets they are.
The laws of physics. If you’re not carrying them all with you on the route, you can’t use them. And, have you ever tried carrying 5 loaded crossbows on a unicycle?
I’ve carried 1 bike and 3 backpacks riding a unicycle. Does that count? My thought was that I would need hands to break on the bike, but not on the unicycle, so I could carry more that way. How heavy is a crossbow anyways?
Between 7 and 15 pounds. But, the weight may not be the real issue. If you ride the unicycle with the crossbow hung over your shoulder, pre-cocked, the bolt falls off. If you pre-cock all five bows and they jiggle against each other, one may get triggered, and if you’re unlucky you’re looking at losing an ear or some flesh. If you wait on cocking the bow until you reach the target site, you’ll have to put your foot down to steady the front of the bow, and that will probably disqualify you.
“Is the weather fun where you’re at..?”
Well, I’m in California, so… yeah… beautiful today, actually…
…Mind you, it doesn’t come cheap… but yeah… Worth it!
be careful at what you will say Hubris…you might be the arrow’s TARGET!
