I can still feel strong pulses of complaining and tremendous egos. The sisterhood is strong.

A little birdie told me that all the PF sisterhood members are secretly in love with wolfram, they're all after his body. Is this true?

And another question what actually is the PF sisterhood? To me (a newcomer) it appears that it is somekind of guerilla organisation or the military wing of the Women's Institute.:confused:

Sure. But the Ivan-O-Pult is going to be out of order for a little while - until the "Ivan" part is repaired anyway. (We did send him some flowers at the hospital, right?)

Of course, who's to say we can't experiment with the Yomamm-a-Pult or the Pengwuin-O-Pult in the meantime. :smile:

We sent them to Area 51; I hope they got to him okay.

Of course, who's to say we can't experiment with the Yomamm-a-Pult or the Pengwuin-O-Pult in the meantime. :smile:
I think side-by-side trials of both are in order to see which one sends the projectile furthest. :biggrin:

Good move Lisa! Now, just get him to take a few more steps toward the Franz-o-pult, and I think we can get started with the next round of testing. :devil: :biggrin:
