The mildly deranged penguin points out that kit is no good at all for hunting MUSHROOMS! (MUSHROOMS! season is approaching). First off, she says, there’s lots of glowing illuminated blinky clicky thingies, which are simply useless and will slow one down when chasing — or trying to escape from — a MUSHROOMS! herd. Second, there’s some geezer blocking one’s path, and whom underneath the MUSHROOMS! herd could hide. Third, there’s no obvious instrument for catching even a single MUSHROOMS!, much less a herd. (The precise instrument needed depends on the MUSHROOMS! and may be as simple as a navel bombardment or as complex as a net. Bare flippers rarely work, and are liable to be nibbled on by the MUSHROOMS!) The one sensible precaution is an Emergency Exit for when the MUSHROOMS! chase goes awry.
Also, as far as she is aware, MUSHROOMS! generally don’t bother eating spiders, except as seasoning. Apparently, creepy-crawling spiders bring out the taste in Orcs (both raw (tartare) and lightly toasted (bleu)).

Collect spiders like nobody’s watching?

Is that a…tactical spider hunting vest? Why isn’t it black? It should be black.

Acrobatics, equilibristics, and object manipulation… I’ve always suspected that photography is a circus art! Great shot of you!

I get the feeling this is something we would see when PZ is a speaker at Skepticon or something similar.
