I've been thinking of using stuffed animals as a white weapon. The weapon would be the equivalent of the French throwing poodle. The throwing poodle, while mostly forgotten by history, is the breed of dog that gave rise to the miniature poodle we know today. They were bred for small size, viciousness, and short, curly hair that made them easy to grab onto for throwing. Earlier, long-haired breeds tended to get caught on the fingers. When throwing poodles were used in the battle of Agincourt in 1415, terrified Englishmen were heard screaming, "By dose! Hit's got by dose!"
Regrettably, the English still managed to win that battle and slaughtered the entire corps of poodleslingers. Since history is written by the victors, the dogs' military history remained unrecorded and has since been largely forgotten.
Am I making all this up? Perhaps. But researching it will take a lot of work. Allowing me to use stuffed poodles will only take a single word.

This idea wasn't meant to be taken seriously. It was just a joke that I thought was pretty funny.

In cyberspace, no one can hear you scream.
But if you type in all caps you can get a similar effect. (insert reference to Monty Python and that section where the inscription reads "AAAARG" here)
