Joyce,

TQ

Travis,

<b>Bring the heavy stuff next time! You know them fundamental Wo-himen extremists don’t play fair!</b>


<img src="http://www.backyardartillery.com/machin ... rkbg1b.jpg">

"This beauty is a fully funcitonal machine gun with TWELVE rotating barrels and a live action trigger. Loads 12 bands per barrel for a whopping 144 rubber bands that shoot off as fast as you can turn the handle! Great fun for kids of all ages. MORE than just an amazing machine, this is a true work of art.

Hand crafted in the USA, The rubber band machine gun uses a similar mechanism to the famous Gatlin Gun of the old west. It stands 40 inches tall and 44 inches from the handle to the tip of the barrels. The turret effortlessly spins a full 360 degrees and tilts from 45 degrees up to 22 degrees down so you can easily keep a moving target in your sights, no matter how they run.
We keep one loaded in the office at all times to defend against hostile takeover attempts and pushy vendors."

Sorry this is kinda OT.....

Travis,

RLMAO - Be glad the 9mm is in my car. You're quick buddy, an real moving target.

Java, I ADORE that. It is being added to my Christmas wish list.

Truthfully, Travis and I are just having fun. He enters my office and takes his skin into his own hands. In turn, his office is guarded by a six-foot knifeweilding cardboard robot that for some queer reason resembles him in an uncanny way.

Work here at the SpydieHouse is always fun, a barrel of laughs and never dull!

Forget the rubber-band gun, try my favorite weapon- a squirt gun version of the venerable Walther PPK.

Doesn't sound menacing, does it? Say that when I put out your cigarette at 30 feet! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Drives a smoker nuts, and can be used to add extra caffeine in solution to unaware coworker's drinks.

BTW- Didya see the Dilbert comic today, Java? I thought taking away everyone's caffeine was a little cruel.

By the time you read this, you'll have already read it.

I guess Sal's afraid we might get caught in the crossfire and that's really why no Spydie tours!

G'day Angela,

How's it going? Nice to see you lurking here, it's been a bit dull since you left town <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>.

Take care,
Clay

Wouldn't it be fun to hang out with Sal, Joyce & the others there at the office for a day! It looks like they know how to pass the time! RKBA!

Hi Clay..nice to be missed, I check in every once in a while, I thought it was high time I jumped back in.

How's things down under?

Nice to see that samo is still at it too.

Spyderella!!! We MISS you! Please say you're coming back to Colorado to work at Spyderco again? Truly, it is not the same without you.

Travis did you hear that?

Sword and Shield has a great suggestion....
"I put out your cigarette at 30 feet! Drives a smoker nuts, and can be used to add extra caffeine in solution to unaware coworker's drinks."

Sword and Shield if I squirt him full in the face will it stop his chew habit? Where can you get these?

<b>Travis

If you’re still amongst the living – It’s time to ratchet up the stakes in the old office arms race again! Enjoy, my Spydiebrother-in-Arms!! </b>

"The only watch that's also a weapon - it shoots BBs, dried peas, popcorn kernels, lentils, and more up to 8 feet across the room! This stainless steel watch will be the envy of the classroom or the meeting room. Use it to "wake-up" those sleepy headed co-workers and classmates. When they look around to see who's been pelting them with spitballs, you'll just be casually checking the time."

They're at any grocery store/carryout for around a buck, Joyce. A little practice can get some pretty incredible accuracy to 10-15 feet, while rebuilding the trigger can double that range.

For breaking a chew habit, I highly suggest Sprite or lemonade. Just enough sugar to be annoyingly sticky, in addition to causing a slight burning when caught in the eyes.

By the time you read this, you'll have already read it.

Angela,

Everything's pretty cool, although I can't believe how much busier the little blokes made our lives. I'm just glad he wasn't twins <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>. How are your little ones, they must be nearly 3 now, is that right? We're just starting to get excited about the ski season and it looks as though it might be a good one despite the drought (not as good as Colorado this year Joyce, from what I read on telemark tips.com). I'm taking 20 boys down to race in a couple of weeks and then again with the family in early spring, just wish I couls ski every weekend like those lucky <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> folks.

How's life in Florida?
