Drinkie :-p ?
 
Ooooh blood and sand, I see him now!
 
He's here!

I built a trebuchet while I was gone. It's about 3 feet tall and uses a 2 liter bottle of water as a counterweight. First time I tried it it swung around and clipped my nostril with the release pin and damn near ripped my nose off. Second shot worked pretty well.
 
Well done, we might get some interesting threads going again with you and brewnog being back.

Yes, he's back. :approve:

You'll have to fill us in on all of your adventures while you've been away. :biggrin:
 
I would have been back a lot sooner, but I wanted to read the thread killer champions thread first.

I hate to be labeled, but I'm sitting here on my couch, foot elevated above my heart, crutches leaning against the wall and I realize some things never change.

Understandable. :bugeye:

What happened, are you ok?

lol, of course I'm okay. just got in a fight with a gopher hole. I think it is just a sprain and to me sprains are like hang nails. My foot is a lovely shade of purple though.
 
I've got to run, okay hobble, and do some work. I'm supposed to be doing some research right now. I'll come back later

A worthy excuse. :approve:

*shakes head* Nope, some things never change. :smile: And here we thought you got blown up along with the mountain you were blasting last we heard from you, and to find out something as minor as a gopher hole has you laid up this time...well, I'm just disappointed that it's not more exciting.

Oh, but some things change.
<------Look what color I am! :biggrin: They won't let me sweep the guru awards this year. :frown: I guess they wanted to give someone else a chance. :-p

Holy crap! Make a video! How far can you launch things?
 
We've missed you![/size]

I'm not going to let it rip my nose off again so forget it.
the trebuchet I made out of popsicle sticks is only about 5 inches high and it will throw an asprin across the room. My big trebuchet was built without plans or planning or know how or the correct tools or material. I've thrown a grapefruit across the street, but it should go a lot further. I made the trebuchet collapsable, but not on purpose.
 
Impressive! I want one!

so I guess I'm the only cool one left who's not a mentor?
 
speaking of blasting a mountain, here's a little bit of useful information. If you work around explosives and then try to get on an airplane you WILL have to spend at least 3 hours explaining why their brand new machines are telling them to shoot you on the spot.
 
I'd forgotton how much more interesting GD was with all your unusual anecdotes.

Welcome back.

Ahem, last but one...

What's with posting in your own return-from-the-dead thread anyway? That's soooo passe.
 
posting in it? hell I started it
 
I thought of a brain teaser so I spent about an hour getting it correct I thought it would take days to figure it out, then some jerk figured it out in about 3 minutes. I figured that since I was here already in the brain teaser section I might as well swing by GD. I would have thought you all would have cleaned the place up a bit.

:smile: Yep, I'm sure that'll do it. :smile: Now that I live in mountains, I've also noticed nifty signs on the roads announcing blasting zones where you're supposed to turn off your cell phone, and I always wonder if anyone other than me actually bothers to follow that instruction?

that's when I start dialing.
you have moved? I take it Evo moved as well. and I'll bet neither of you moved closer to me did you?
 
No, Evo hasn't moved, just me. I got further from you when I heard they were letting you around blast zones. :biggrin:
