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?

INSTANT HARDENING PORCH COATING MARBLE MIX - The new owner was renovating the badly run down house, and had booked a load of instant hardening porch coating marble mix to be slathered on to his front porch that very day, which instantly set over the top of the welcome mat of foot-trapping horror, thus escaping a very unpleasant fate.
UNESCAPABLE DELUXE MASSAGE CHAIR - The young maid was sick of her elderly employer's constant requests for massages at all times of day and night, so used his platinum plus credit card to order a massage chair from one of those home shopping networks, which she then modified so that when he reclined he would be completely trapped - thus inventing the unescapable deluxe massage chair - which enabled her to continue with her daily routine in a blissfully uninterrupted manner.
reading that back, I seem to have caught the "wordies" from countess 😄

OFF-YOU-GO MASSAGE CHAIR - Sensing that something was wrong with his maid and the chair she had bought, he equipped the chair with a pocket knife that would cut all the straps designed to trap him by just pushing a tiny button.
PRURIGINOUS SWIMWEAR - Jealous of her sister's swimming skills and the awards she had won, she opened her drawer and put some pruriginous powder all over her swimwear, chuckling at the thought of her embarrassment at the upcoming swimming competition.
on 20-05-2022 03:06 PM
ANTI-ITCH WATERPROOF SUNSCREEN - Knowing the evil nature of her sister, she made sure to apply anti-itch waterproof sunscreen before her swimming competition, so the pruriginous powder on her swimwear had no effect.
HORN HONKING SHOCKING OVERLAY - Sick of his neighbours honking their car horn every Sunday morning when he was trying to sleep in, he attached a horn honking shocking overlay to their steering wheel, which gave them a terrible electric shock whenever they honked their horn.
on 20-05-2022 05:48 PM
HOON SHOCK-SHORTER DICE - The teenage son spotted his neighbour attaching the overlay in the dead of night, and he immediately logged on to eBay and ordered a pair of hoon shock-shorter die (available for immediate midnight pickup from a seller just 15 minutes away by bike), and after collecting them the teenager gleefully hung each dice from the rear view mirror, thus shorting the horn honking shocking overlay.
EMERALD EARRING BRAIN-EATING EARWORM - Tom Bochum, maddened by his wife’s spendthrift ways and impulse buying of expensive jewellery, gifted his wife with a pair of beautiful emerald earrings that secretly housed a brain-eating earworm which would creep via the ear into her brain.
on 21-05-2022 07:24 AM
EARWORM-REPELLING EARPLUGS - The spendthrift wife, suspecting her husband wanted to kill her, secretly met with an eccentric inventor who made some special earplugs just for her. The earplugs would adapt to the ear channel perfectly without causing any discomfort and at the same time they would repel brain-eating earworms and other evil critters.
BLACK-HOLE TV - Inspired by Poltergeist and annoyed with his wife who sat in front of the TV day and night totally neglecting him, he modified the TV so that when his wife turned it on, she would be sucked in and disappear for good.
on 22-05-2022 09:44 AM
CONFUSION DUST - The wife suspected something was wrong when her husband kept encouraging her to turn on the TV, so sprinkled him with a few grains of confusion dust, then convinced him to turn the TV on for her so he was the one sucked in to the black-hole TV, leaving her alone to watch it to her heart's content.
NEVER-ENDING REVOLVING DOOR - The elderly woman was frustrated with the lack of gentlemen who would stand aside to let her go through the door before them, so had the original entrance temporarily replaced with a never-ending revolving door, thus trapping all of those oafs in an eternal loop.
on 22-05-2022 10:22 PM
PITBULL JAW DOOR-STOPPER - The grizzle-bearded man, wearing a beer-stained T-shirt and creased camouflage pants with surplus store boots, observed the elderly woman's installation efforts, and - narrowing his red-shot eyes - hauled out a spare pitbull jaw door-stopper, and placed the lower jaw under the door, thus stopping the revolving door in place.
BRIEFCASE-SHREDDING HALL TABLE - The hen-pecked husband could not bear his wife's arrogant demeanour any more with her constant reminders of how her salary was three times what he earned, so he obtained a briefcase-shredding hall table from a friend, and set it in the entrance hall where his wife usually flung her briefcase after returning home from work; it would swallow up her briefcase and shred it, and he was sure she would dive in after it to try to save her precious meeting notes and flow charts and white papers.

VACUUM-CLEANER HAT - Suspicious of her husband's intentions, she invented a hat equipped with a tiny suction motor that would rescue anything just about to be swallowed by evil devices.
LETHAL NIGHT LIGHT - As his wife kept complaining about the darkness at night and insisted on having a night light that disturbed his eyes, he equipped the night light with killer wires that would slowly strangle her after she switched it on.
on 26-05-2022 05:51 AM
STRANGLING WIRE SNIP-SNIPS - She found herself being strangled by a tangle of wires after she had switched on the nightlight and, with great ingenuity, she scrambled in her bag for the components to make a strangling wire snip-snips – nail clips, rubber bands, and a packet of menthols; the snip-snips effectively released her from the night light trap.
HOSTILE HAIR TREATMENT - Jealous of his brother’s thick hair, balding chemist Dave Smetton added a follicle-killing ingredient to the shampoo used by his brother, turning it into a hostile hair treatment; he chuckled with anticipation at the thought of his charming successful raven-haired brother becoming completely hairless within days.
on 26-05-2022 02:58 PM
FOLLICLE RESTORING CONDITIONER - The brother always made sure to condition his highly prized mane of hair, and had just that day started using a new follicle restoring conditioner which immediately reversed the effect of the hostile hair treatment.
MINX REPELLANT - Her obsessive worry about a local beauty stealing her man (who talked about her in his sleep) was taking over her life (to the extent she broke out in song every time she saw her), so she added some minx repellant to her boyfriend's after shave, which caused him to have a non-stop sneezing fit every time he saw the auburn haired beauty, which would ensure that that emerald-eyed minx Jolene would have no interest at all in her now repellantly snotty nosed man.
