Sentinel's leg - Marvel Legends Action Figures - Series 10 - The Sentinel Series
Through the jungle mines of the trash and local tip, you cannot believe in some of the things people will throw away. Rat-infested couches, mould friendly fridges, rotting barrels of flesh... the list just keeps on going. And there are some less than desirable items as well.
All this junk, there the for taking, delousing and disinfecting for another round of life through the mill.
Take a leg for example. Fleshy or slightly robotic. One no longer attached to the torso of some unfortunate person or cyborg. There are things you can do with an extra leg:
Cruise control - Riding a long stretch of freeway or desolate desert road? Take a break from the strenuous exercise of putting your foot down and let that extra hoof take care of matters.
Press the flesh - A leg that abandoned might have some heft to it. So if the opportunity is there, pull a few curls.
Scaring the crows - What's scarier than a scarecrow in the backyard? How about a scarecrow in the backyard with only one leg? Sure they might not have legs to start with in the first place, but that doesn't mean legless can't mean less one leg.
The Natural - Figure out the reference.

Sentinel mini-bust from Bowen Designs - sculpted by Carl Surges
During these festive times and days away from the shackles of daily life -- unless you happen upon a year long vacation amongst twenty per cent of the population ignored at large by the Howard Government -- it can be quite easy to forget about basic safety and simple home vigilance. Car bodies, torched and trashed in creek beds, houses and buildings burnt to the ground, etc. And then there are the cases resulting from hoodlums and the criminal element.
In an effort to help with the artificially blind and legless, prop models made from the Sentinels range of deterrent models have started to appear on certain shelving units. "They [the Sentinels] are not expected to be guardians or watchdogs," warned Senior Constable Fraken, "so citizens should not take their presence for granted."
To that end, police are reminding people to keep in check their belongings and property as they head out on benders and trips across the town. Along with eyeballing material possessions, police are urging party-goers and revelers to watch their cups and glasses as the rate of drink spiking sees a spike itself following consumption of liquors and liquids.
