Where the missile lands is someone else's problem. That is the whole point of trebuchets after all.
Have you actually been out of the US long enough to forget how litigious everything here is?

Um, probably, cause that didn't cross my mind.
Yeah, that could be an issue. Let me retract until I can find a viable alternative, if I can.

Surely if you built a very small, yet very powerful trebuchet, no one would know where the actual missile had come from. Isn't that part of the point? Either that, or you use something as a missile that could have come from anywhere.
Morning
My brain woke up extra early, kept me awake for ages and then when I decided to get up, it went back to sleep.
Would anyone like to swap brains for a day? I think mine needs freshening up.

Both of these just had me rolling. 
Love it! Cleaning out my desk.
*does a happy dance with you*
OMG. That is the cutest thing ever! I want one, now. Don't worry little critter, I won't let you become extinct!

Good morning, Cantinanites. It is Friday, which would usually be a cause for joy only I have work on both Saturday and Sunday. *sigh*

Yay to everyone and good evening to everyone else...wait, um, never mind.
Evening!
I am sleepy, it is 9:15 pm had my word count for the day is zero. Need to fix that before bed.
Glad to see you around Psycho. You haven't been around enough.
Following is for people with kids, so ignore as you will.
Little Debio's favorite new game.
Beeeeee beep.
Beeeeee beep.
beee beep. Beee beep beee beep.
beebeepbeebeepbeebeepbeebeepbeebeep
Beeeeeep!
(think Jaws and thumb/index finger combo to grab a nose)
At the first beeeee beep, even if on the far side of the room, both hands fly to his face to protect the nose.
Plus, I have a new super geek solution to the monster in the closet problem if anyone is interested.

In my neighborhood, I'm make the missle out of hickory nuts and sweet gum balls. Two trees of plenty around... hurts the feet to walk barefooted during the summer.
For pure evulz, I recommend the chestnut hull:
those little spines are sharp, and insidious; the tips break off and lodge under your skin.
In other news....
It's morning! I love the morning, especially when I'm about to finish a writing project! Not the space pirate thing, that's still in outlines.
come on, guys, dance! It's a lovely day!
Good Morning Friends!
So.... It's Friday the 13th and I'm exactly 7 days away from this due date. At this point, a Friday the 13th baby sounds great. I have this strange hope that I'll go to the doctor here in a bit and she'll say, "Well you're close enough why don't you go over to the hospital and well just get this done."
I love your Little Debio stories. I think it's cute to see a dad gush about his kids. Plus, I'm glad I'm not the only one. hehe.
This is cool and I want one. Although, it might eat my dog...

Oh and those look like little evil animals, what with a mouth like that and all. Creepy.
And yay for finishing projects! I can't dance too well in real life right now, but Snoopy will do it for me.
*le sigh*
Overly Helpful Co-Worked is wearing the hell out of the carpet by our cubicles. I've counted 10 trips to and fro in the past hour.
Eff dude, go home or get to work. Some of us don't need or want the distraction...

Langoliers, anyone?
Yes, I had to look that up and now I'm going to have nightmares. Thanks Bos.
Good morning, Cantinaroos!!
So, permanent position at company I temp for has come up (in another area). It's a part time type of gig. I was mildly interested in it, but surprisingly both of my parents have said it sounds like it might be a good opportunity for me and would allow me to pursue my writing and other interests.
It felt very odd for some of the things I want to do to be taken seriously. Especially since my dad was all Permanent Job!!! And Benefits!!! before. Of course, he did comment on how much happier I seemed after I knew I was leaving old job.

YAY!
Did you? And if not, do it!
I already done did it. Making notes for coworkers now on remaining projects. Then, my termination call. Then...FREEDOM (for a little while)
THANK YOU
Trip wire?
Yes, we prefer our distractions to be amusing. Or dirty. Or both.
Hi Snowball2695.
Good morning, all, and happy last day, Hillz!~
Right?!
Good luck with the doctor! And well...maybe your dog is tougher than he looks?
Errr sick? That sounds like no fun at all for anyone.
Oh that's great! Good luck!
