There was lots of crying but no permanent damage – unlike the effects of riding this mean-looking rusty bug trike into groups of neighborhood kids, which at the very least is guaranteed to cause a few cases of tetanus. :)

This was one of the fantastic finds at the Art in the Park festival in the Glebe a few weekends ago, but I’ve sadly misplaced the artist’s name. He had a whole corner of the park full of sharp pointy rusted metal things for evil step-parents to give their kids. :)

“Hi, I’m Gary, a dung beetle. What are you?”
“Chaaaaaaaaaaaan’s MEGA-STIIIICK!”

And every time he says it, I bet the screen fills with a flashing scrolling anime background, and he transforms into a fierce robotic stickbug warrior.


MEGA-STIIIIIIIIICK!!!!
