Recently, Ken asked me, “Where’s the trebuchet and when are we going to set it up again?” “I’ve been saving a [insert object name here] that I want to see fly through the air, it will create a great ‘blast zone’ on impact.” Turns out the [insert object name here] was given to him by an ex-girlfriend and he had been saving it for the appropriate ’send off’.
Good hurling objects don’t have to be round. Toasters are nice. There is something about seeing a toaster fly, cord dangling behind, through the air, that always makes me split a gut laughing.
Then there’s my attorney friend who tries each year to persuade me to “build a trebuchet float” for the local mardis-gras parade. He wants to “throw mullet to the crowds instead of beads”. The mullet is a kind of fish popular with the locals.
“They’ll love us Pete, we’ll be Kings!”, he exclaims, and while he might actually be correct on his prediction, my comment has always been “Yeah, sounds cool, hey, hand me another beer, will ya?
What’s your favorite projectile? |
