I hope this isn't another of Jack Dalton's pipe-dreams! lol

[lolmac]

If it is, you know who'll end up paying the piper.

Actually, this is Mac's little-known attempt to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records with the Worlds Biggest and Most Difficult to Use Blowpipe.

Unfortunately, although Jack Dalton can blow a lot of hot air, he can't blow enough to get the dart all the way through a pipe that long and that wide, so the team was never able to claim the record.

Probably just as well. It's doubtful that even with the ostrich feather fletching, the tranquilizer dart would have hit with enough force to actually pierce the hide of the rogue elephant that they were aiming it towards, and they surely would have ended up running for their lives.

Mac sometimes still has nightmares about that feeling of easily outstripping Jack by a mile, knowing that the elephant was gaining on him. The guilt these dreams engender has driven him to swallow his objections and give in to a number of Jack's more hair-brained escapades in the intervening years.

There might also have been some question about the efficacy of the tranquilizer serum, as it had been brewed from native herbs by a mysterious and excessively ethnic guest cast member with an unpronounceable name.

And you have to admit it was kind of heartless of Mac to take the time to change his tennis shoes before he started running.

Well, he tried running in sand in those chukka boots (cf. The Gauntlet and The Map), and it just wasn't as fun, particularly after they filled with sand.

p.s. And would that be the redoubtable Blu Mankuma?

[lolmac]

I think it was the highly dubious Ali Ali Inkumfri.

[thothmes.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. The producers loved to use Inkumfri whenever they could because the fact that he worked under the table for less than scale helped to keep the per episode budget in line.

[lolmac]

He also made a very good production assistant -- he could always find the actors, no matter how hard they tried to hide.

Mr. Annnnnndersonnnnn!!!!!! Come out, come out wherever you are!!!

Gee, Mr. Anderson. That bush doesn't do a very good job of masking somebody of your size. You'll have to do better next time.

Nope. The Spider doesn't work well enough either.
