That's interesting, LOL, now I wonder about the colours and design. Going to admit here, I avoid gloves unless it's a farming situation or I'm out foraging and have to wear them for something.

The baggy rubber things are horrible, Now that I recall, those are the kind I had to wear when doing landscaping for a couple seasons.

Sort:  

Wee get a lot of brambles growing here with their devilish wicked thorns. In fact, I have never seen so many in one area. They grow so fast and the only way of picking those bad boys up is with something rubbery. Otherwise, I can leave the gloves!

Sounds like wild rose bushes, albeit, less stabby thorns. It's murder trying to get those out and they spread like crazy. I imagine brambles must be similar. There's a shrub here, barberry, that has thorns an inch to two inches in length. The thorns do not break, I've tried. Been eyeballing them to see what I might make, lol.

Make some kind of horrifying mace-like stabby jabby weapon!

It is horrible dealing with those things. Especially when they manage to get you and get stuck and you cant get them out of you right away!

Make some kind of horrifying mace-like stabby jabby weapon!

Yes, that was in my mind. I've repeatedly tested trying to break them by hand (no go) and cut them off branches (no go unless I want to be a literal bloody hand thorn cushion), so it's the whole branch and mace it is!

They are horrible to deal with, itchy also. I'm thinking thorns might be wicked protection if one could sprout them at will.

Sprouting them at will would be a fine protection, no one could lay a hand on you and the very notion of a super thorny fist crashing into a face, yeek!

Apart from that, I say a big no to the thorns!

Ouch! What a visual, a thorny fist, lol. I'm always careful those barberry thorns don't end up in my line of sight impaling an eyeball in a fall or some other stupid thing.

So pair that with a giant bullfrog. Imagine the possibilities....

In the subject of numerous it hadn't been so exciting of late. The chap must find better enemies for Poco to vanquish
