:<name> attempts to stab him/her/it/them, but misses.


*With [[lucky Tam O'Shanter]] equipped:<br>

*With [[miniature gravy-covered maypole]] equipped:<br>
:<name> does a very unsafe dance around the maypole. You can't dance if you want to.

*With [[wax lips]] equipped:<br>
:<name> grins a bloodthirsty, untrustworthy grin with his wax lips.

==Notes==
*In [[The Cake-Shaped Arena]] the Stab Bat never stabs you, so the [[shock collar]] may be useless here.

==Reference==
*The [[miniature gravy-covered maypole]]'s combat message refers to the 1982 song ''Safety Dance'', by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_Without_Hats Men Without Hats], with the recurring line "we can dance if we want to."
