So I had an urge to hit Mardens today (local discount / damaged goods sort of place).  I don't usually go since my Ex lives on that side of the river.  But I wanted a couple tools anyway that I figured they would have (needle pliers are ever so useful things) so I've been gearing up for a trip anyway.

They had biking stuff!!

Got me a helmet and some shorts for less than a 'new' pair of shorts at one of the local shops.  Yay!!!

I've never been a fan of bike helmets... but with some of the idiots I've run into, and since I'll likely be out 3 times a week, I figured it'd be a worthy investment.

You're finally decided to pay a visit to your eccentric Uncle Elroy, who lives in a remote cabin in marshy backwater far off the main road.  While hiking out to the cabin, you pick up a long, straight branch to use as a walking stick.  A few minutes later, suddenly and without warning, you feel yourself sinking into the damp ground.  Struggling to pull your feet free, you find to your dismay that the more you pull, the harder it is to escape.  You're stuck in quicksand.  Do you:

(A)  Yell for help, even though there is little chance anyone will hear your cries

(B)  Move your legs in a running motion in attempt to escape

(C)  Place your walking stick under your hips, lie on your back, and float out of the quicksand

(D)  Place your stick vertically in the quicksand until you feel solid ground below, then attempt to hike out.
