Have heard humble plays possum or carries a possum with him. Can never figure out which one it is.
Gatorgrenades do more damage but they are harder to throw safely and are apt to snap at your elbow or knee when you swing them.
Best one is a raccoongrenade, the fur flies when they hit and teeth and claws strike everywhere all at once, but you cannot use these as easily when you are drunk because they can climb their own tails and turn your arm into hamburger.
