Creativity Exercise
I had this idea last night, so please bear with me because I slept
on it and ended up forgetting some of what I wanted to write.
Before we start, as the name states above, this is a creativity exercise/experiment and I would like to see what comes out of it. First things first, the exercise.
I am going to ask a question, a very broad question, and the objective would be to come up with a solution to the question. However! I don't want you to think about it. Before this exercise starts, empty your mind of any preconceived notions and just prepare for the question that is about to be asked. And then, as soon as you read the question, any idea, literally, anything at all, write it down and post it. It doesn't have to be logical, it doesn't have to make sense, just write! If you have ideas to expand on, go ahead and add it on. Go ahead and add on to others if you want, this is basic creative freedom.
There are very few rules to this exercise (thank goodness). 1. Please stay on topic... I noticed that sometimes things go on a tangent =) 2. -Please- don't be vulgar, I have enough of that in college. 3. Have fun and forget about what's physically real.
Alright, I am going to ask the question now and give an example answer.
If you knew your home was to be attacked, how would you perpare?
Example of what popped into my head: I grab the nearest chickens I can find and train them to be super speedy ninjas and give them boxes of cheese-nips to watch as they hurl the small squares of cheesiness about like throwing stars.
Complete creative freedom!!!!

This does have the advantage of having less mess to claer up after the attackers have gone - no sharks and crocodiles to take back to Exotic Pets-R-Us, no sticky jelly to scrape off everything, and no exhorbitant electricity bill at the end of the quarter for powering all that rainbow light.
2 sharpen the maul (a heavy wood splitting axe/hammer) while sipping a Bruichladich with one ice cube.....
3 ..........and attack them first.

Depends what we were going to be attacked BY. and the time involved. Other options include Leaving, hiding (in the attic, with the crossbow, and food), setting home on fire or bobbytrapping it in some way. It would be good to have several layers of defences, and a way to "fall back" should things go badly. Distractions would also be useful- rigging up electronics so you can turn the T.V./radio on and off remotely, maybe even some sort of human sounding noises so that you can disorientate intruders.
Still- running away sounds like a good plan. I'd prefer to avoid conflict.
