The dimples are there to reduce lift, reduces the amount curvature in the path due to the ball spinning. You're just using this as an excuse to hear franz scream as you pull off the wax strips.
Drat! I knew I'd get that backward. :frown: Then it's for better distance, right? That works too. :devil:

Well, golf balls get more lift with those dimples in them, so maybe we need to beat some dents into franz to get better lift? :devil:


Well, I guess we should wax them rather than shave, to be sure we don't nick or cut them. Good idea! :approve:

You're all evil. EVIL!

Look out Franz, taking off your clothes was a bad idea; they've got some really big garden shears and are planning to make you more "aerodynamic".

:smile: You have a very warped mind. I like that.:smile:

Catapults have fascinated me since my early years. My mother was very frustrated with me because of certain fork-a-pult activities I engaged in while in my high-chair.

Well, we saw what a nightmare Franzbear turned out to be, so we should be very certain to ensure franz doesn't have any more e-children (because of course Franzbear got all those bad traits from his e-father, not his e-mother :biggrin:).

I think there should be a law against Mentors taking advantage of said youngins, especially when they don't even remember it!

You've obviously never seen Brave New World, have you? Yeah, that's what I thought.

A person who can take advantage of a kiddie like fraz is able to sit all kids and crackpots on their place! That's part of mentors' job...:-p

Okay sisters, training is over! Your mission, if you choose to accept it:
https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=122900
We need to rescue Zz, and before the crackpots realize he's missing!

Tsu, have all the modifications been made to the RV? Are the engines all tuned to run with that new fuel mixture?

MIH, are all the weapons cleaned and ready? We're definitely going to need those catapults on this mission, so TheSwerve will have her first assignment with those.

Evo, do you have our course plotted? Bring the chainsaw in case we need to clear some trees for a landing zone.

Larkspur, we know our target can be lured out with gourmet food, so you're in charge of stocking the pantry (you did such a great job with that 6-pack...you might want to stock a couple of those too).

I've got Disney pins as bait too. Between the food and pins, he shouldn't be able to resist.

Lisa!, this is your first mission too. You're in charge of communications equipment.

Dang it! Where's recon to do the recon?! SimplySolitary, are you up for it? We'll need reports back on Zz's precise location, how many are guarding him, where all the entrances are, the thickness of the walls (we can blast our own entrance if we need to), all those details. We might need to commandeer Cyrus' spy plane too. See what you can do about sweet talking him into giving it up voluntarily.

Anyone left, report to MIH for weapons and provide cover as we go in!

Everyone ready?! BOOYAH!

Ooo. That's cryptic! :biggrin:

Would that be CHICKEN BOOYAH? I LOVE chicken booyah. Self Adjoint and Greg should know all about chicken booyah...

I had to look that up...sounds good! I think we should make sure we have plenty of that to feed us on this mission. :approve:

Mission Impossible IV ?
I have just about had it with the series .:bugeye:

I think we need to fit a giant pair of Golden Mouse ears on the Supersonic RV and play "It's a small world" over the PA system, that should help lure Zz, then we can set the trap with the Disney pins. Once he takes the bait, we'll drop the net on him.

Ooh, good plan! If the Disney pins don't work, we'll have to pull out all the stops and put a Dumbo Ride car under the net...he'll never be able to resist that! Actually, the trouble might be getting him back out of the trap once he's in it. :rolleyes: :biggrin:

Cool! This is like totally cR¥pTiC! :biggrin: I'm in.

OK, what size net do we need? Do you think Hypatia and Ivan are right and that Zapper has been shrunk down and hidden in the Bobby Sherman Disney village? Or do you think that was just a decoy?
