well you don't need too much equipment to harm a fellow, i mean, broad band.... rubber band....

Confession time.....
When I was a kid, a friend had a play cabin/ shed in the back garden. Fruit trees, ripe rotten fruit on the ground. We generally also always had a flat on our bikes, so we changed the rubberhose on the tyres, ok rubber band, you get the meaning? This cabin had a door, well not a door, but a framework where it once had been a door. Sooohh:
We fastened the rubber hose on each side of thet door-opening, and there we suddenly had, well you know, "the mother of all rubber band guns". We had ammo (the fruit mentioned above). We had ambitions. I mean the Americans had landed on the moon attitude...So we tried to shoot above the houses, or the roofs or at least the walls. I'd say that in 80% of the launches we were pretty successful, probably better than the Germans managed with the V2's... This launch site was not located in a safe area in the countryside... To launch, we loaded and ran into the cabin, holding down with teeths and legs, spinning at a high rev on the sandy boards, releasing, both at the same time. When we were not coordinated; the one too slow to release smacked spinning into the framework, so we didn't do that too many times. Well, as mentioned above we were at a rate of success of 80%, that leaves 20% unaccounted for, Some of these hit a wall, that wall was on a house. Behind that wall, in that house was a person, with a pretty short tempered mood. We did not know of this person when we loaded up.... We were right in the most critical phase of a launch process, when sombody yelled "WHAT THE FbiiiP HEbiiiP ARE YOU BASbiiiP DOOING!!!". We did not weigh too much in that period of our lives, neither me, nor my friend, the launch process were in that stage where the friction to the ground was critical, We were also not prepared for that screamlike yelling, like a siren of some sort. We both jumped straight up, buth loosing all friction, both suddenly remembering that the last one to let go would hit the framework, it was a perfect launch.... The only thing that made orbiting impossible was this person...in the doorway... I remember that his feets were higher than the rest of his body, there for a second... But at least he wasn't yelling anymore, not for 15-20 minutes at least, until he were collected. He got back some of the money spent on superb health care here in this Land, came back the next day (or the day after or something) no real harm to him (lucky us), the father of my friend rearranged that shed to a place he put garden tools he never used, added a door and a lock.... 4 years later the fruit spots on the surrounding bright painted wooden houses were painted over, and this episode was mostly forgotten.

Our defence; we were not old, it was fun, very fun, most of it...

i would have moved my "forces" to the nearest tree that had a Y in it,,,,,,and continued to have fun,,,,thats how we learn,,,trial and error,,,,see maybe if they figured,,,damned kids,,,and like most said,,,well,,,they'll learn,,,either stop doing it,,,or the next time,,the punishment will include "not listening to your parents when they say DONT DO THAT" punishment,,which is way more severe then clocking someone under the chin and watchin them fly like the cartoons on the t.v.,,,,,,,,,,,,,wowz,,,i think i had fun just reading it,,,,hehe

We did that... Later in that same backyard, we got some 2 stroke engines, 12 years old we did not know what we were doing... tried to make a helicopter thing.... Nearly chopped off our heads when we tried to stop the damn thing.... I blame the telly on that one...(Skippy, skippy, the bush cangaroooo, the guard had a copter..)

This was of course in the preCEmachinedirective period....

Mas
things are actually "better" in South Africa

we have all woken up to the fact that we are in the middle of the greatest circus on the planet

what is alarming is that the entire planet is competing for this title of lets see "who can be the biggest dumbass around"

this country is running around killing fires, left right and centre, with egg on their faces every day.

I as a normal family man, 2 kids (20 & 17)
my own small business (3 staff)
I stand amazed
the WORLD is a fu3ked place

my internet account has been running at 5 gig per month now for this year
i have read more than what most families would read in a life time
"the farther i travel - the less i know"
all i can say that sitting in the middle of the ocean on a small boat becomes more attractive day by day

maybe i should have stayed a hippie
who knows
living the "American dream" - house - mortgage - kids college - 2+2 cars - 3 TV sets and and and
could just be a load propaganda

so yes confused as ever

Hi Manie, I am looking in the same direction, even reading (and posting) some of the publications of the "biblical profits of the end time" - - I think they are getting advice from financial analysts and putting it in a form and language, that those with "Religious fervour", would believe and calling themselves a profit as identified in the Bible....

The1 is a hippy (still has his long hair, I claim to be a partial hippy - getting around in "skirts" at home (attire used by men in India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Melanesia etc..) - - bloody comfortable, and ones balls can swing free and cool....

I am what is referred to as a moderate user at 15-20Gig/month and know less than you... but just get more frustrated, pissed off and disappointed that the world is really close to joining Mars as a desolate emptiness....

My wife is still driven by that objective - - McMansion, cars, projection TV to watch what?, and all that waste and ..... arrr **** - - all for what?

[Landlubber]

All for what Mas?

It is the one with the most toys when they die, that is what it is all for!

Personally, I could live in a tent quite comfortably. All we really need for a comfortable existance is a nice dry bed, a hot shower in winter, fresh vegies and meat and a gun to protect it all. (That was for you Much)!

[safewalrus]

Don't forget the copious amounts of alcohol 'lubber to forget it all! 'specially when the rain pisses into the tent, it's blowing a bloody hoolie and its supposedly the Summer Solstice - you know long hot summers sitting on the grass outa your tree!..................nice dream!

[masalai]

No wonder you are miserable safie, Who told you to "sit on the grass?" - yo s'posed to SMOKE it hehehe

[Landlubber]

I think poor old wally is drydocked....at least my name says it all....I am boatless (by choice) right now too, so suffer delusions of living in a tent to "get away" from it all..........

[the1much]

my tent,,,and ANY gun,,,is all i ask fer,,hehe

[masalai]

Check out his image in the coming out thread - ageing processes - I cannot recall what it was called .... Don't looked very dry to me with "drips" set up & handy to his adjacent, favourite chair.... I was just looking for that thread now and went back to about 15 may on my CP - may be further back than that ???

I seem to be changing my desires on an almost daily basis as I am fed up with land based existence... current idea is 36 x 20 ft or more???, narrow displacement power type hulls, and with 2 genoas as per John Hitch rig as many solar panels as is possible to fit aft of the mast and electric legs as per "retractable (swing up) drives as used by African Cats" and a couple of small electric generators (I like things in pairs - testicles, spectacles, tits and hulls etc...)

[masalai]

You got a tent (the fat woman) and you got a gun (- between your legs), so that is you sorted....

Mornin the1, mornin/evenin/nite all
