<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>In case any of you have questions about the pandybat
competition at the<font color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>upcoming
Bjornsborg Festival of Fools, here's<font color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>some
info:<br>
<br>
The pandybat is a weapon whose wielding is as likely as not to result in the<font
color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>demise of the wielder rather
than the opponent. Weapons must meet safety<font color=blue><span
style='color:blue'> </span></font>standards, i.e. striking and thrusting and
thrusting surfaces must be safe<font color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>according
to the normal marshallate rules. Other than that, the sillier the<font
color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>better. (This is a Fools
event, after all.)<font color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>Since
really good pandybats never actually hit anything, safety is not<font
color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>usually a big concern.<br>
<br>
The tournament will be a challenge format; prizes will be awarded to the<font
color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>victor as well as the
wielder of the finest pandybat (who will, by<font color=blue><span
style='color:blue'> </span></font>definition, be unlikely to win the tourney).
Group entries are allowed; if<font color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>your
pandybat is of sufficient quality (sic), it should be possible for a<font
color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>four-man team to lose to a
single opponent. <br>
<br>
Here are a few general classes of pandybats...<br>
<br>
Thrusting pandybats: have included the thrusting crutch, thrusting<font
color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>breastplate, thrusting helm,
and thrusting codpiece. Where can you put a<font color=blue><span
style='color:blue'> </span></font>thrusting tip to make it most comical and
least effective?<br>
<br>
Modified weapons you may already have: like the "turnpike", two
normal pikes<font color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>(with butt
spikes) lashed together and wielded by a four-man team like a<font color=blue><span
style='color:blue'> </span></font>revolving door; or the "repeating
spear" wielded slingshot-like through a<font color=blue><span
style='color:blue'> </span></font>tube tethered onto the wielder's hand. How
about Florentine shields?<br>
<br>
Culture-specific: the "whirling dervish blade", a modified hula hoop<font
color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>(surprisingly effective),
the "pandy bolo" made from duct-tape covered<font color=blue><span
style='color:blue'> </span></font>tennis balls, or the "French
tickler", which I am going to leave to your<font color=blue><span
style='color:blue'> </span></font>imagination.<wbr>..<br>
<br>
Pun-ishing weaponry: "turnpike", "shield hook", "(can
of) mace", "butt<font color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>spike",
"broadsword"<wbr>, etc. Don't ignore siege weapons like
"battering ram"<font color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>and
"catapult" (not to be confused with the hand-held weapons, the
kat-ana<font color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>and the
moggy-nada).<br>
<br>
Implements of war: there is a long and honorable (sic) tradition of turning<font
color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>almost anything into a pandybat
by adding the word "war" in front of it,<font color=blue><span
style='color:blue'> </span></font>like the "war spoon" and the
"war sofa" (honest, three guys pushing an old<font color=blue><span
style='color:blue'> </span></font>sofa, one of whose arms was duct taped red
and turned into a giant thrusting<font color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>tip).<br>
<br>
Most fighters have had an idea for a weapon that they knew the marshals<font
color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>would never go for. Here's<font
color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>your chance! <br>
<br>
You should be prepared to present your weapon and explain its function to<font
color=blue><span style='color:blue'> </span></font>your potential opponents. A
herald will be on hand to assist you in<font color=blue><span style='color:
blue'> </span></font>introducing your weapon to the populace at large.<br>
<br>
Some of the rich history of the form can be learned here:<font color=blue><span
