Summer also experienced an encounter with [Regigigas], but upon reading the notes of Dawn and Kellyn, began a rant that was at once enraged and horrified, and somehow involved a lumberjack. When she had calmed down, I elected not to press further.
Sabrina thought the hero looked a little shellshocked. His partner didn't seem to notice as she began pointing to the akuma, a nearby fire hydrant, and of all things, a red and black inner tube.
Far be it from her to question a superhero.

There was magic in the mundane. Hector had once told him that a practitioner with three yards of duct tape, a PEZ dispenser, a CD player, and a pair of oversized clown shoes was responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire. Duke never really understood how that worked, considering the Roman Empire had already fallen long before any of those items were available. But magic was never bothered by paradoxes like that.
"Wow, with a goose? I didn't even know that was possible..."
The pool attendant, the gardener, her tennis instructor, two butlers, four chauffeurs, seven delivery boys... a seemingly endless stream had flowed through the courtroom and testified to their indiscretions with his wife. Worst of all had been the exhibits: Exhibit A - large carton of whipped cream. Exhibit B - a skin-diving suit with the bottom cut out. Exhibit C - a bucketful of soapy frogs. Soapy frogs? On and on it went, until, by Exhibit Q - an inflatable dolphin with battery-operated fins - Rimmer could stand the humiliation no longer and he'd agreed to settle out of court.

Certain Tzimisce actually eschew supernatural means of torture, considering such practices effete; the Sabbat priest Stefan Kostas still speaks with great pride of how he extracted vital military information from a Gangrel Archon, using nothing but a 50c disposable razor blade, three needles, a pack of Holiday Inn matches, a rubber tube, and a gallon of Clorox.
