1. Yes, I actually have one that's about a 100 years old out in the shed.
Can make a torch fairly quickly out of materials at hand.

15. I did that once-make a torch
inspired by a 'Land Of The Lost' episode when I was about 8 or 9. We (a childhood friend and I) tied a bunch of old newspapers to big sticks and lit em up. Big mistake. Mine didn't take, but hers freaked her out when the flame traveled up the stick. She dropped it into a pile of dry leaves and had my older sister not seen and stomped it out, we would've been toast!

:yoiks:

5. I have a pitchpipe...

...so I could most certainly non-violently
and (ahem) monotonously ANNOY him in a very
passive-aggressive fashion.
.
Tell him if he keeps it up, his fate has
been forewarned.

10. I have a pitchfork that is over a 100 years old and still in good working shape.
It belonged to my Grandfather.

I know how to use it, the ends are very sharp.

11. What makes the pitchfork-bringers so special? I don't have a pitchfork,
but I'll be bringing a torch, and you can't have a proper mob without torches. Honestly, I think your OP is very disrespectful to us torch-carriers... :)

(And no, I haven't a clue who/what you're talking about.)
