Throw bolas at the ankles of someone fleeing from me, instantly tying their feet together and causing them to fall on the ground face-first?
I’m just taking the temperature of this—-seems like a great bar concept, like the axe throwing places.

(that's nunchucks for the uncultured cucks who don't know the ways of the warrior), and have mastered the blade through hours of dedicated kata work and YouTube videos. My skill with the katana is vastly outpacing my proficiency with the ninjat?, but I'm getting there.

guess what kind of bush a woman passerbyer has to wondering how scrambled her tulips are. I've seen too much lasagna on reddit pr0n lately and it's making me wonder if there are more roast beefs out there than I realize. I've never seen a pair of flaps but maybe it's just because of my prowess and charmingly good looks that I only attract the creme de la creme.

It sounds like part of a Jay Peterman/early 90's Banana Republic ad for the perfect natural linen, water proof Safari jacket

done on a regular basis. Because of the existence of a popular child's toy called "clackers". They were supposed to be used as a game of skill clacking the two balls together, but after 15 minutes of that, the mind got bored, and then turned to mischief and harm to others. The industrious among us would use them in the very manner you state, and the most athletic of us could take down a kid at 20 paces.
Of course, they were banned without recourse after a wildly successful 2 or 3 years.

Safety hazard
Clackers were taken off the market in the United States and Canada when reports came out of children becoming injured while playing with them. Fairly heavy and fast-moving, and made of hard acrylic plastic, the balls would occasionally shatter upon striking each other but not as easily as the 1960s glass models.[3] In the United States, they were classed as a "mechanical hazard" in United States v. Article Consisting of 50,000 Cardboard Boxes More or Less, Each Containing One Pair of Clacker Balls.

I still use Clackers® to bring down my human prey and Jarts® to make the kill. I'm old school that way.

Commission, whatever was the judging standards of the day.
Heck, we had a set, more than one. And we had Olympic-style competitions with them. Accuracy, length, destructive power to bottles, cans, basketballs, you name it. All with mom and dad's loving approval. They were just glad we were outside entertaining ourselves.
