"You Will Enjoy the Circus...."

Dear loyal and true members of the VR,

I said I wasn't going to do it, but you've pulled me in this discussion with all your talk 'bout 'quipment an' th'owin' 'psotrophe's aroun'.

Peetnis is correct. He did not mention the "for real penis" shape of the pink eraser, or that the traditional inscription is "Fuck You Bitch" written on the rubber band (whilst streched out). The two rubber balls are standard skittleboch balls.

Lapis lazuli balls are an extravagance some like to indulge, but are way totally unnecessary. Lignum vitae ones, while also unecessarily extravagant, are appreciated by those wanting a more sensual feel than the regulation rubber balls may impart to sensitive areas.

I want to point out an historical note while we're on the subject. Some more hedonistic players used enormous bladder stones, especially French players of the 17th and 18th centuries.

He also mentioned what I refer to as the "ganas", or as he puts it, "...the inclination to deliver". Since this is not equipment, but rather an essential attribute brought to the game by its players, I will point out that he forgot to mention the one other: nudeness.

"But what about gayness, Vance?"

Some of you more Astute Members of the VR must be wondering this. Gayness is not strictly necessary. It is welcome, as there is Nothing Wrong with It, but there are some dour players out there, I can tell you from experience.
