Anything can be used as a weapon...

So what we're going to do is display the weapons from CLUE...

And you can pick any weapon, and give a use for it (doesn't have to be as a weapon, itself)...

You pick ONE weapon and say what it can be used for

Just have fun describing creative ways to use said items...


I will begin as an example...

Candlestick... for romantic dinners.

Wrench... for fixing a busted pipe.

Rope... can be used for... certain... games. If you are into that sort of thing.

A gun is useful for scaring birds away from your roof.

The lead pipe can be bent and used in a strong man costume.

A knife can be used to cut the cheese. =P

The candlestick can be part of a costume. Now we just need someone to play a butcher and a baker.

A wrench can be used to fix the toilet!

The revolver (which is really a pistol) would make a good prop for a Burr-Hamilton duel re-enactment.

The candlestick can be used to hold a candle and light your way to bed.

And a knife could be used to chop of your head!

(I love lullabies with creepy lyrics.)

A revolver could also be used to blow off people's heads, but we won't go into that.

(Oranges and Lemons is now a nursery rhyme, but it wasn't always so. The first published record of Oranges and Lemons dates back to 1744 in "Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book", although it's fair to assume it was in circulation for some time before then. There is a reference to a square dance with the same name in a 1665 publication, but it's not clear if that relates to the rhyme or not.

Neither oranges nor lemons were known in the West before the First Crusade arrived in the Holy Land in 1099, and it's fair to say that neither were common in England outside noble circles until the early Renaissance (roughly 1500). Here is a BBC feature that asks "What's it all about?") <s>

In a pinch, a wrench is a perfectly fine hammer.

In a pinch, a wrench can also pinch. <s>

It's been a long time since I've used a rope to jump rope.
