This has the same energy as the knife wielding tentacle. If anyone would like to come over and disable it, they’d be more than welcome.

As a local moron, it looks like something people like myself, or, myself, would think would be cool to try and catch.

When I was a child I thought the RC-XD was the most ridiculous contraption I had ever heard of. Tons of shit turned out to become real I thought was stupid
