Spears are, in fact, not useless because if you hit them they still take damage according to the rules (tag a limb it's out, tag the body they die). The foam on the spear is minimal as fuck (mostly just the padding on the tip) and already glued and taped together together over a PVC core. I'm lookin...

AND GUESS WHAT IT'S KIND OF A TERRIBLE WEAPON.

Of course. How could an orange-cat not?

Well, PLA, there's normally something called an "ethics committee," but...

Sometimes you get stranded in the mountains okay. It's a hard line of work.

No, sleeping upright. I wasn't driving, thank christ.
