It is a War Stick, obviously. If you ever have to share a room with someone, like a sibling, you place this on the dividing line between your two territories. Often when placed, one will state, "Cross this line, and it means War!". The adjustable bolts widen the stick to increase the area marked as "No-man's Land". Often, when War is eminent, the width of No-man's land is adjusted to create a greater buffer between the two parties.
Though the article specifically addresses that it is not a nusance move, but one of charity. Good for you Mr. Lucas. Though in the second version of the development plans, he is going to make some signifigant changes. Perhaps there is someone who could smuggle out a copy of those plans? Ok, enough. =)
Pretty cool. A google of him doing this trick and others is not as slick. It looks like he has a hose in his right hand and attaches it to the handle of the spigot. While he holds the spigot handle the beer flows through. Perhaps a foot trigger for the hose?
Lol, handmaid's tale. Good luck trying to legislate a biological imperative. Like a fence that will keep rabbits seperate by gender - hormones will find a way.
I am reminded of the version hoisted by Christoph Waltz in "the Green Hornet (2011)". A side-by-side Desert Eagle that had the option to "swivel them out" wider.
