A bit late
Well, this didn't take too long at all. Is there any chance that I could have the last couple of days back?

It could shoot lots of dangerous things...
poison drawing pins.
angry wasps.
...
very hard peas.

small bits of glass.

blu tac, with staples in it.

Edit: see, I think we've all learned that the dangers of a crossbow are not directly related to the size of the crossbow.

( drbroon drbroon.co.uk, Wed 1 Oct 2008, 17:30, archived)

I think a pretty comprehensive test of effectiveness
would be to see if it's capable of stapling someone's genitals to a table.
Do that once or twice and no one would want to fuck with you
( Keyboard Weasel, Wed 1 Oct 2008, 17:32, archived)

No-one would be able to fuck with you!
Unless, of course, you're a table.

No matter how fuckable something is, table or nay,
having your cock stapled to it would not be conducive to fucking it.

It is possible to have too much of a good thing.
Can we not just go out on a high, and look back fondly on this week, rather than bitching about yet more retro sci-fi by the time next Wednesday finally grinds into view?
( The Hedgehog From Hell should be drowned like a superfluous kitten, Wed 1 Oct 2008, 17:45, archived)

Perhaps
The plan is to spin the compo out so long that by the time it ends, what was originally sci-fi will be retro automatically, by virtue of the long time that will have passed? Perhaps this is some kind of genius cyclic comment on the compo theme itself by the adjudicators?

Or not.

Probably not.
