If you wave a Twinky close to someone's face and eyes in a threatening, aggressive manner, is that assault? Would the Twinky then be called an "Assault Twinky"? Of course, carrying it along a little further, if you actually blind someone with a Twinky, it would probably be "battery", so it could then be called a "Battery Twinky", or a shorter version....maybe a "Batter Twinky".

Just wanted to clear up this "assault" weapon thingy. I may be mistaken and way off base, of course, so please step up and educate me.

Okay, so after shooting from the hip, I've now gone back and read all the threads and thanks to WilliamTell I now have a definition of an "assault weapon".

So, to carry on with my analogy, if a Twinky was an approved piece of equipment for military maneuvers, or for use during the final phase of an attack, i.e., "the assault", then, with proper modification, it could become known as an "assault Twinky".

The modifications might possibly be a hardened, crush-proof case, waterproofed, snap-locked, improved grip, camo-wrapper, etc. However, it is still basically a Twinky, with its fluffy exterior and creamy center...Yum. So, the various modifications really haven't added or subtracted to its intrinsic "Twinkie-ness".

Guess I'm just never going to understand the vagaries of this issue.
