CONFRONTING THE LION
The Challenge: you will be placed in a locked iron cage with
a lion and kept there for two hours. Your goal in order to
win the game is to come out, alive and unharmed.
The Terms:
1) The lion will be from the jungle, wild and untrained.
2) While the lion is transported to the cage, you will be
allowed to pet the lion, talk to the lion, give things to
the lion, but may not attempt to harm the lion or give
tranquilizing drugs during the transport, or else you
will automatically forfeit.
3) You may take anything that you want into the cage, but
it cannot be larger than a hand-held hairdryer. No whips,
chairs, or defensive armor allowed.
The Contestants:
- The NRA member
- The Animal Rights Activist
- The Clown
- The Poet
The Outcomes:
* The NRA Member
Since a Glock 22 handgun is smaller than a hand-held
hair-dryer, the NRA member took a Glock 22 handgun.
He shot the lion and gravely injured it, but also
sent it into a wild rage. The lion still had enough
strength to chew off the NRA's member head, before
both died.
Grade/Verdict: F / pitiful but typical
* The Animal Rights Activist
The animal rights activist realized a loophole in the
instructions. The prohibition on tranquilizers
was only for the duration of the transport phase,
as stated. Not wanting to harm the lion, he brought
a tranquilizer gun into the cage. He hit the lion,
with about the same accuracy as the NRA member.
Again, this enraged the lion. But this time, the drug
immediately started making the lion drowsy. Before the lion
passed out, it was still able to swipe a sizeable chunk
from the seat of the pants of the anmimal rights activist.
Grade/Verdict: C for outcome / A for noble effort
* The Clown
Since the clown was told that he could bring nothing
larger than a hairdyer, he brought a hair dryer.
And attempted to dry the lion's mane. The lion was bewildered
but nonetheless annoyed. So the lion ate the clown, spitting
out only the red rubber nose.
Grade/Verdict : F for outcome / A for amusement
* The Poet
The poet did not imagine that the lion wanted to be petted
to have anyone talking to it, but would probably enjoy
being fed. So he brought a load a juicy steaks and tossed
them to the lion until the lion was so stuffed that it could
not possibly eat another bite, including the poet.
The poet took nothing into the cage expect for a book
to read. The lion, contented with a full belly, just wanted
to take a nap. So the poet quiety sat and read for two hours
until it was time to go.
Grade/Verdict : A / poetic justice for all, and a helpful tip
for leaders of nations, everywhere.

Not entirely surprising, then, is the issue Wounded Lion runs
into when they exit their comfort zone. That spirit of
experimentation, as nice as it is in theory, leads the group
down some questionable paths, like the approximation of Touch
and Go sludge that is "Going Into the Unknown" or the oddly
Mclusky-like "Wyld Parrots." There's also the matter of
"Raincheck Vibrations" and its nearly seven minute running time,
most of which comes before the song gets to the point and
Eberhard starts shouting about that time Robin totally
cockblocked Batman when he was alone in an alleyway with
Catwoman.
