The Sisterhood is as strong as ever!

Tsu's just been busy burning all those trees down. We do need to spruce up the Supersonic RV and go for another ride. We need Recon though. That girl needs to get her nose out of those books for awhile.

I remember this trip... Knock, knock, knock

Gokul -:smile: :smile:

Oooh, MIH, I vote for that one. :smile:

Bite my shorts, Wooly. As Evo says we're as strong as ever and I've recently gained MUCH experience with my chain saw and bonfire materials - so unless you want REAL trouble, you'll back off of this Sisterhood is Weakening thingy you've got goin' on here. OK??

You're right, Sis. That WAS a great trip! :smile: We got to plan another one soon. Who lives where we might want to go next? :biggrin:

Hey! Maybe we should go see Recon! I've always wanted to see Brunei! :biggrin: I haven't heard from her in AGES! What's she up to these days?

I think this is clearly a desperate play for power. As woolie said, the sisterhood is weak. Time for the rest of PF to rise up in rebelion! Carpe Diem!

Excellent! :devil:

ROAD TRIP! (Well, we'll sometimes touch down on road to refuel.)

Don't know where she's been, but Brunei sounds like a good RV trip location! :biggrin:

I'm thinking we need to bring both larkspur and TheSwerve along...that six pack would go really well with the see-saw as in-flight entertainment. :biggrin: :devil: :blushing:

Absolutely! The more the merrier! :biggrin: Long as no one tries to take over the drivers seat... That's MINE! And remember - it's ALWAYS good to agree with the driver... :biggrin: and I'll agree with the six-pack thingy as long as it's a six-pack of Green Apple Martinis! :smile:

I have actually saved all the avatars from when we all dressed as nuns for a few weeks. I will dig them up.

Anything you say, Tsu. I'll ride shotgun and hold the Pecan Sandies for ya.

I can't wait to try Swerve's catapult! *rubs hands* *plots* *schemes* :devil:

Me, too!1!1! That looked like FUN! Let's try it out on Ivan first. He's light enough to get a real gauge on how far that thing will 'pult'. :biggrin:

If it doesn't work with him, we can always use frozen broccoli as projectiles on it. :biggrin:

Yeah, but they wouldn't look as funny flying through the air as Ivan would... :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

Ya know... that big grey head spinning, and those long, skinny grey arms and legs flailing about... :smile: :smile: :smile:

We got to find something soft to launch him into, though. He's kinda brittle, IIRC.

Well, we could over-cook the broccoli... That's nice and soft... :biggrin:

That's a great idea. We can strap him up with bags of over-cooked broccoli. We'll make him a little broccoli bag suit. :approve:

It's comforting to know you are so easily bought. Here, have some sake with that.

OK, sushi and sake all around. We'll toast the maiden voyage.

*Loads up Ivan-O-Pult* Quit squirming, Ivan!

Now what should we drop for a weight on the other end?:confused:
 
  • #59
Hmmmm... I've still got a few good sized tree trunks on the hill behind the house. One of them should be a pretty good weight for the Ivan-O-Pult. :biggrin:
