      So I was sitting in a meeting when someone asked how we were going to educate the users to a potentially complex process, I suggest with a clue bat. Six guys looked at me strangely (not an unusual occurrence) but they had no idea what a clue bat is. Next I go on line and see if I can find a foam or rubber clue bat to buy, can't locate one in the usual suspects and google is not helping. Anyone know where I can get a range of clue bats?

      My grandkids managed not to wreck anything with a rigid foam toy cricket bat. I'm guessing you might find something suitable in a dollar shop. Cheers, Peter

        Not bad, but I find this one[^] scarier (esp. if you look at the "Frequently Bought Together" section).

          For a small fee, lets say some rare footage of a colleague going postal on his cow-orkers, I would be happy to turn a clue-bat for you made of wood. I'd recommend beech, or maple. :rolleyes: Cheers!

                Just buy a [Louisville Slugger](http://www.slugger.com/en-us/baseball/wood), and paint "Clue Bat" on it.

                That sounds too much like work, you only need to add a single letter: "CLouisville Slugger" :-\

                Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                    Yeah, after they stopped selling tuits, we must find something else. I was lucky and got hold of about a dozen of them, but they were of the square type, not the round ones, not suitable for everything. And I've only got a few left. Maybe clue bats can replace them, but I sure would like someone to start manufacturing tuits again.

                        Mycroft, I laughed when I read this. I called mine a "Feature Stick" while visiting Norway. Smacked the table pretty good. Warned people what happens when they start coming in asking for features! But it is soft, and we had a lot of fun. They promised to use it on me if we had bugs! [Feature Stick](https://www.amazon.com/Century-Single-Training-Blocker/dp/B000AM3AY6/ref=sr\_1\_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487858475&sr=8-1&keywords=blocker) Hope this is it!

                          Uh a "clue bat" ? You're kidding, aren't ye ? See, that stuff is totally off-standard and so has been for years now, if you need an educational helping device, you'd better pick something which is conform to RFC-2321, not only it will be useful to educate users, but it will also be of help with networking and computing issues https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2321 ;-)

                              My philosophy is "there's no such thing as overkill". If someone should be thumped, don't fool around; do it good and proper! (The result is that I thump very few people; zero, in fact. :sigh: )

                              As Churchill would say, "Thump them once. Then come back and thump them again. Then thump them a third time - a tremendous whack."

                                I personally use a stuffed vinyl hammer from Chuck-E-Cheese. Also acts well as a gavel during meetings. But is a bat is your thing there is a wide selection of inflatable ones here: [US Toy - Search Results for bat](http://products.ustoy.com/search?w=bat&asug=)

                                        So I was sitting in a meeting when someone asked how we were going to educate the users to a potentially complex process, I suggest with a clue bat. Six guys looked at me strangely (not an unusual occurrence) but they had no idea what a clue bat is. Next I go on line and see if I can find a foam or rubber clue bat to buy, can't locate one in the usual suspects and google is not helping. Anyone know where I can get a range of clue bats?

                                        I am guessing you must be from the UK. Try googling: soft plastic baseball bat for a child

                                          Ah, so that's who/what this "Lucille" is. Someone else referred to her/it, earlier, but I had no idea what he was talking about.

                                          I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
