Most ridiculous objects to get peace-tied at a convention!

Let me go first!

To be fair to the NDK staff, I was the one who put them up to it, but since I was cosplaying as Ford Prefect from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, I had my towel peace-tied!

Dude, that's awesome!

I had my crutches peace tied (I was the one with the tie dye crutches,) I did ask for them to do that, as a cautionary deal, and cause the orange looks good.

I was the America on Saturday with the big inflatable bat and that got peacebonded as well.

To be honest, I can understand the bat and weapons in general being peacebonded, but towels, crutches, flag poles, (even the small flags) parasols and other not remotely harmful things that don't have a blade or a trigger got bonded. In my view, it went a bit overboard with the bonding.

Like I said, I asked them to peace-tie my towel.  After all, a towel is the most amazingly useful object in the universe, and among its other uses, you can wet it and use it in hand-to-hand combat!

My roommate, the Joker, had his foot-long, bright orange "Bang Gun" peace-tied. The handle is so tiny that the tie got in the way of the trigger.

you can still hurt someone with a flag pole and an inflatable bat as well. it's not just about blade or trigger objects

Indeed, I almost got beamed in the head with a flagpole myself.  It's more we're making sure that you guys are aware .

I got my spirt gun bounded (finger). I asked for it because I busted the band and needed to tie it on.

[Hellsing365]

my brother wanted his fists peace bonded...

[Skrae]

Funny, I remember someone wanting to check his fists at prop check!

But does peace bonding a bat actually prevent anyone from being hurt by it?

[Skrae]

No, peace bonding is more a record of a verbal contract that we've talked with you about being aware of your prop and made sure it's suitable for con.

[Hinote_Ichimaru]

My sister had to get her Pasta spoon peace bonded. Yeah...

[ToyKeeper]

While cosplaying as Yomiko Readman (from Read or Die), I was tempted to go get my sheets of paper peace-bonded.

Ah, that makes sense.  So, it's a figurative bond.

[shs]

Nobody said anything to me about peace bonding my 5 foot 2 inch big yellow sword. I wonder what the criteria is.

[daikarasu]

well, you are supposed to do it of your on volition, the peace ties can be pretty hard to see on some of the more intricate/bigger weapons

[nemisis47]

I guess in that case, peace bonding at NDK is a sign of your awesomeness lol

[Alitain]

I had my homemade Ninja Monkey peace bonded last year, and left the tie on so it was still bonded this year.  But I just carried him around sticking out of my messenger bag.  It was pretty funny though because last year when I got him bonded the guy said something to the effect of, "you never know when even a stuffed toy thrown around could hurt someone".  Like I would actually throw my ninja monkey around and get in trouble for throwing stuff?  haha, just odd but fun.

[~Irony~]

I had my White Rabbit Clock peace bound..... In all fairness I most definitely could have bludgeoned someone over the head with it as it was a real functioning Giant Clock....
