I think it would be cool to have some people "flying" around the Renaissance Festivals (or other Renaissance, Dark Ages, etc -era festivals) via either a harness attached to a high branch in a tree, or else a zip-line set-up. The people in these devices would be dressed in flying-humaniod-style garb (which, besides wings, is pretty open to one's own imagination) and drop "presents" on people below, such as candies or small toys.

Looks like Dr. Bob was right. [nick_n_uit, Oct 06 2004]

3/15 changed spelling from Fairy to clarify (see PeterSealy's annotation)

Do it the old fashioned way. With Catapults!

thumbwax: yes, except we would like to be able to reuse our faerie-folk.

Eeeewww! That's not very PC. Siege engines (in keeping with the mediaeval theme) loaded with cheerful wee folk for a practical joke. Peter Pan and Tinkerbell will emasculate you for this Nick.

I think I like thumbwax's way better. I can imagine that the delicate, gossamer-winged faerie folk would make a very satisfying splat!

UnaBubba: mayhaps I need to clarify. In my original idea it was the Fae Folk themselves DOING the bombing, as opposed to BEING the bombs.

faeries with candy on a rope...sounds like the recipe for a human pinata.
