Title: What should I buy?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on January 16, 2004, 12:53:07 pm: They're both roughly evenly priced, and equally as entertaining.
They could both be equally deadly, in the right hands, so I ask you, Which Should I Buy?

Post by: mikhael on January 16, 2004, 12:57:46 pm: Crossbows are so pussy. Get a real bow or a banjo.

Post by: an0n on January 16, 2004, 12:58:00 pm: Banjo = Deliverance
Cross-Bow = Deadly weapon.

It's so hard to choose.

I'd say Banjo, for it's comedic value should you learn to play it.

I voted crossbow. Weapons are cool.

Post by: aldo_14 on January 16, 2004, 03:03:30 pm: Banjo!

Crossbow's pointless. If you want a weapon, get a longsword.

Post by: Dark_4ce on January 16, 2004, 03:18:01 pm: Weapons are neat. But really, what the hell are you going to do with a crossbow, except brake it in the end? Its not even cool on the wall. Its cool factor runs out in about 2 weeks, and like hell you'd keep it in the open fully loaded.

I'd go with the banjo, since I personally played one for a while, since you can still make some nifty tunes on one, and still have a laugh playing the deliverance song, if ya feel like scaring people. And trust me, doing that song is way more scarier than pointing a loaded crossbow at them.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on January 16, 2004, 03:19:57 pm: Well I'm convinced. Banjo it is.

Bollocks. Why did nobody tell me there were so many different types?

Anyhow, banjo is the one I'd tend to go for, you can still use it as a weapon if needs be. :D

Not to mention hiding in woods next to a golf course, and playing it whenever a golfer comes in to retrieve a ball.........

*mashes own face* :p :D

Anyway, I voted for banjo. What'd you decide?

Post by: Rictor on January 16, 2004, 08:15:42 pm: Let me ask you this?

How easily can you aquire a crossbow if you have a banjo? I guess you could play on the street to save up the money. Now, how easily can you aquire a banjo if you have a crossbow? Pretty damn easily I'de say. Most of the people liable to have a banjo lying around are too inbred to put up a decent fight anyways.

Crossbow.
