I dont know what a "diorama" is. Meh, i'll google it at work tomorrow.

I cant believe people are stereotyping the VC as having over loaded bicycles. They operated in the jungle for peats sake. :-)

I say use "encumbered children". Come to think of it, that might be closer to the truth, and in any case it may add to the problem you face in this encounter ...

Bottom line, i often play out small little scenarios on my own like the one you describe, and i'm happy to have found a thread to contribute to. Its been a while.
