You Only Get Three Mains For Thanksgiving - Pick' em

[Easy 6]

Choose wisely...

Hmm. After a bit of thought, I'd go with the following three choices. Recognizing that weapon and venue are inextricably linked, I'll present my top three combinations.

1. Pistols with eight-shot clips inside my house with the power out on a moonless night. I know every nook and cranny of my house and routinely navigate it in the dark when I'm too lazy to turn on a light. An accurate weapon where I can fire off several shots quickly will give me a huge advantage if I have the jump on people. The cleanup afterwards would be annoying, but I'd deal with it if the stakes are high.

2. I'm built more for speed than power, so I would work better in space. However, my eyesight has declined over the years, so I'm not going to challenge anyone with sniper rifles at a distance. However, I had a lot of dynamics and physics courses back in the day, and that skill remains intact. So I would go with trebuchets at a distance of 500 yards on uneven terrain. I think I could adjust my fire faster than the average trebuchet user.

3. I got hearing aids recently, and I can turn them up to get super hearing. So I would go with shotguns in a maze that has very slightly squeaky floors. I walk somewhat lightly, so I could likely hear someone moving before they could hear me, and a shotgun is hard to miss with.

What do you think? Are my assumptions good, or am I missing something?

Does anyone here like cherry pie?

I find it scrumptious

I'm on a mostly seafood diet these days, so crab is something that's kind of a special dish. We don't make crab legs very often, so it's a good holiday splurge.

I don't dislike cherry pie, but it's not at the top of my list. I'm more of a citrus pie guy.

1. Lemon meringue
2. Key lime (1A and 1B with lemon meringue)
3. Banana cream
4. Rhubarb
5. Apple

Chocolate cream and coconut are also really close.

A) Watch your mercury levels
B) Consider the muzzle flash in scenario 1 below

Good points on both counts. I should look up mercury levels. I eat a lot of salmon and tuna and shrimp these days.

Squeaky floors were actually the first thing I thought about with choosing your own place... I was just in an older building with squeaky floors and knowing exactly where not to step would be a huge advantage.

I like the trebuchet idea, think those were in Empire Earth years ago and was one of my favorite weapons.

Shotguns in a maze would be tough though... easy to hit a dead end or have very close combat. Depending on the size of the maze, perhaps you could get some paths down and have an advantage there, but I'd be concerned about that one, TBH.

Pro tip: If your penis becomes as hard as a rectal thermometer for no apparent reason, see a doctor

The maze would definitely be lower on the list. I was just trying to think of a scenario where my cyborg hearing could be put to advantage.

On another note, getting my cyborg hearing has had an immense impact on the squeaky floors in my house. I used to hear squeaks, and now I hear amazing multi-octave squeak chords.

Sub Pumpkin for Pecan and I'm there. Occasionally we have Pecan but Pumpkin just fits right now and is delishy dishy

Maybe in the woods with a bow and arrow?

How are you with a bow and arrow, and possibly climbing trees?

You only get three weapons for the fight - pick 'em.
