I hope this might prove to be another enjoyable word game on this board.
The idea is this: the starting poster posts a word that represents a weapon (funny, serious, bizarre, whatever the case may be), and uses that word in a sentence that describes the attack. It can be as simple as "Aimed gun."
(If the weapon uses more than one word, it can be hyphenated but needn't be; it should be treated as one word. Ditto for the defence/armour.)
The second poster posts a word that represents a defence/armour to that weapon (again, it can be funny, serious, bizarre, or whatever), and uses that word in a sentence that describes the defence.
The second poster must then also post a weapon that starts with any of the letters in the preceding weapon word EXCEPT for either first or last letter, and use the word in a sentence describing the attack.
The responding poster posts in the same way as the second poster, and so on.
It can be written in the first person ("I raised my sword") or second person ("He/she raised his/her word").
For example:
POSTER 1: JELLY-SWORD: I draw my wobbly jelly-sword from its scabbard and with a "ha!", I lunge forward.
POSTER 2: ELECTION POSTER: I raise my election poster and it deflects the attack.
LICORICE TANK: I get into my licorice tank and drive it forward menacingly.
POSTER 3: etc.
Would anyone like to start?

METAL-SOLE SOCKS - Almost amused, the man sitting in front of Sylvia quietly took off his shoes and put on his metal-sole socks, happily tapping on his own shoes.
THOU SHALT NOT SING - Exasperated with his wife's atrocious singing in the shower at a quarter to five in the morning, the pragmatic husband hid rats in the bathroom that would jump on his wife every time she sang or even whispered a song.

ACME SINGING RAT TRAP - His wife was wise to his effort to stop her singing, and so purchased the famous Acme Singing Rat Trap, which lured the rats with it's melody, so that they were all secured within the trap before she enjoyed her shower, all the while singing as loudly as she could.
HAPPY SMILE REMOVING CREAM - Miserable Marty hated the fact that his sister Happy Harriet was always smiling, so he replaced her moisturiser with his patented Happy Smile Removing Cream, so that she would look as miserable as he felt.

HAPPYALAURONIC ACID EXFOLIANT - Harriet grew suspicious when she saw Marty sneaking into her bathroom, and a quick test of her “moisturiser” on her cat proved that it was that pesky smile-removing cream again, so she added a few drops of Happyalauronic Acid Exfoliant to the mixture, which immediately counteracted the effect of Marty’s creamy sabotage; she also tipped a good 10 ml into Marty’s shaving cream so that his miserable face would be forced to grin cheerfully.
MOSES TRANSFORMING DRUMSTICKS - Sydney Bartholomew Tripthwickle was incandescent with fury as Seth the heavy-metal-loving teenager next door practiced his drumming from 5 AM every Sunday, so he purchased some Moses Transforming Drumsticks to substitute for the teenager’s identical-looking drumsticks… looking forward with dark satisfaction to Seth’s reaction when these drumsticks would turn into venomous snakes if used during the hours which Sydney deemed unsuitable for drumming.
