Laurel v. Pelicans...
So, according to the website, the braining mace will be an extra $100. So for $25 more, I can hit people with the braining mace you all want.
Toki WILL be beating people with Grendel's Arm. Not only that but...
In a couple of sagas, characters are killed by having their intestines
pulled out. (I know. Ewww.) One of those characters recites poetry while
this is happening. So...
If total donations in the name of "Bloodbeard the Beowulf Battler" reach
$200, I will disembowel myself (using boffer intestines...don't get your
hopes up) and recite poetry, while trying to thwack people with
Grendel's arm.
If total donations in the name of "Bloodbeard the Beowulf Battler" reach
$300, I will disemboffer-bowel myself and NOT recite poetry, while
trying to thwack people with Grendel's arm. That's right, I'll keep my
mouth shut!
I am not to be out-done. ;)
I have been told that I cannot have a chariot for safety reasons. (More's the pity. The scythe-chariot would have been EPIC.) So... other ideas:
- At $225, I will perform a new epic death poem on the field as I die. I might even get approval for blood packs to get the right look.
- Cuchulain has the "gae bolga" -- a spear that disembowels his enemies. We could upgrade the mace to the spear at the $250 mark. (With approval from the coordinator and if you all like the idea.)
- At the $300 mark, I will write a satire to CRIPPLE MY ENEMIES. Satires in Irish myth/history ranged from monikers that would plague you to the end of your days, to being curses that could kill. I've been a little wary of writing satires, because I'm always afraid people will take me seriously. WELL, I don't think ANYONE could pretend this was SERIOUS. So...
