If they know what the words mean.
i'm going to make a seated pushcart and start a war. who's with me?
No, no, if you have a pushcart, you go to war with truckers. And you use blowguns to wage it. Have none of you read the book?
We shall fight the dreaded kiosks!
Can you even hit a kiosk with a pea-tack?
Dok, I might have read that book before you were born, so nyah!
Vena - I don't see why not. They're big and immobile, so it shouldn't be hard.
Yes. And provided pea-tacks are involved, that's good enough for me.
So let us all shoot pea-tacks at kiosks!
Great title. As far as I remember, we'll need some peas, some tacks, and some tubes.
edit: next time I'll refresh the page again before adding a comment...
Poor kiosks. Except the one with the big pretzels, that one had it coming.
I don't know Sean Mahan, I'm starting to rethink my choice of title.
So, let me make sure I'm getting this right.
The plan is that all this coming week, we will shoot pea-tacks at kiosks?
I don't know what a pea tack is. Is it a pea with a tack in it? Wouldn't that make it hard too shoot out of a straw?
I don't know. That would be hard though.
i really am going to do that for this task. sf should join me.
No. A pea tack is a pea with a pin in it. And you shoot it out of a rubber hose.
That isn't the plan. The plan is to- Oh, blast it. I might as well make a task to somehow take down kiosks.
Senator Unit, we might be thinking of the same book. Is there a scene where an Italian man describes what happens to a truck when hit with a pea tack by impersonating a deflating tire?
yes, I'm sure it is. with the wonderful ink drawings? The Pushcart King, General Anna, Frank the Flower, etc etc.
Oh yes. Yes. Man, that was forever ago though. Fourth grade at least.
In proper General Anna style, I'm thinking I might just do it by hand.
Why did I just look up the definition of pushcart.
What about people who don't know the defintion of Nature or *gasp* fun!!!!
I was planning to attack a kiosk with slices of bread from the lofty heights of an escalator before you even posted this, but I decided not to because the poor kiosk worker would probably have a heart attack. And it was a Help Kiosk after all. Not an annoying one.
Pea-tacks sound cool!
Ugh, I've been asking people and so far it's tied. Five people don't know both what a kiosk is and a pushcart. I cannot believe these people are the future.
i ended up peeing on a kiosk on sat. that was my contribuion to the struggle.
i failed at dismantling a regular cart in an attempt to make a super cart and that turned into a whole monster of another task.
I tacked a mall kiosk, General Anna style.
But I confess I only did one.
so wait: are we asking people whether they know the difference between the words?
or whether they think both of these words exist?
i'm confused.
