Because they are made of aluminum and will wear SO fast it will amaze you. Because unless they look like death on a stick (and quite likely even if they do), some little dipshit will steal them. Unless you tighten the screwgate so it can never be undone... and then you are back to square one.

>we blame the bumblies that could do with an extra bit of comfort/one less challenge.

Because, as a bumbly, you need to learn. You are demonstrating your ignorance.

I have no idea who the Sheriff is, but I agree that his approach, in this instance, was somewhat lacking.

Specifically, it was lacking a mallet. I would like to send him a mallet, for future use on his rounds. Perhaps you already have a significant head injury (there are certain indications this may be the case), but if not, I would hope he can inflict one on you. If we are lucky, it might even be severe enough to prevent you from posting. If he has to deal with people like you on a regular basis I am truly amazed he has not; a) killed someone, b) gone insane, c) given up all together.

Seriously though, you should get in touch with Adam. Bolting etc can be fun, and it sounds like you have a lot of passion and energy to give... ;)
