  <name> vibrates right through your slain foe, shaking loose some extra meat.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

[edit] References

• Both the Coffee Pixie and the Attention-Deficit Demon probably have the same inspiration from Tweek, a character in South Park. Tweek's parents run a coffee shop, and Tweak was mistakenly diagnosed with ADD. In one episode, Kyle asks why Tweek's parents give him so much coffee, and the parents respond that it helps calm his ADD. Kyle then says that all the caffeine in Tweek's body could be the cause of his ADD. The parents ignore him.
• The maypole message relates to the song "Burning Down The House" by Talking Heads, and the inimitable dancing style of their lead singer, David Byrne.
• The first line of the haiku may be a reference to the Discworld book Going Postal. Moist, the main character, has a golden "wingéd hat" as part of his postmaster suit.
• The second line of the haiku is probably a reference to the song "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zepplin: "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold."; which is itself a reference to the proverb "All that glitters is not gold."
• The Lucky Tam O'Shanter message might refer to "The Flash" or more specifically, Wally West's ability to "vibrate" through objects, shaking them apart.
