Is that a Mini-based Sabot?

[Quiller]

Yes it is! Sabot is the model name - can you add the make too?

[Otto Puzzell]

'Status', was it not?

[@re]

It had to be Mini based - but considering how bad it looks compared to the original, it should be called the SabotAge, if you ask me.

[Otto Puzzell]

nyuck nyuck nyuck - a wise guy! 

[Quiller]

You are wise indeed, for verily 'tis a Status Sabot

Well, as far as I can remember, "sabot" is french for "shoe" and as striking workers at the beginning of the european industrialization stopped their machines by throwing their wooden shoes (sabots) into the mechanisms, the word "sabotage" was born.

And I think this really looks like a shoe...

You're right, "sabot" is the french word for "wooden shoes" (chaussure being the word for shoe, we don't wear "sabots" anymore, thank God). But I didn't know the origins of "sabotage" and you teach me something. Thanks.
