"Fuck trebuchets."

but... but... but... trebuchets are fun! You can make your very own, from materials available at your local home improvement store or lumber yard. You can't say the same thing about rocket launchers.

Yeah! Damn trebuchets!!

Whatever one's general stance on trebuchets, it's a decidedly better workplace than average that you have a coworker or coworkers that understand what trebuchets are, and have opinions on them.

Good for you! :)

Did you ask how and if you needed to buy them dinner first?

Yeah, when peak oil makes gunpowder siege weapons & rockets non-viable options, let's see how many people who need to sack a town start watching PBS.

And don't forget the threat of alien spaces-bats taking away our high-tech toys.

True! And to be truthful, I'm rather fond of them myself - I find the physics of them very fun. My coworker was just in a 'fuck everything' mode, and he was naming random stuff.

The fact that trebuchets were brought up at all is (I feel) a testament to his rockitude.

My thoughts exactly! Sometimes my workplace isn't all bad. It tries real hard, but it fails to be complete suck.

[lawbabeak.livejournal.com]

True dat. Points for knowing what a trubuchet is, more points for thinking of using the word at work.

Nice!

BTW - I love the added animation to your icon. That's great!

[mrlich.livejournal.com]

Yeah - good thing for me I've been watching PBS all along. ;)

Also - thanks for the heads up on the books. Once I'm done with the one I'm reading now, I think I just might have to check them out. Your review also makes me happy that I've a little of my own live steel in some day-dreaming kinda way...
