[TheForge] I know what _I_ want for Christmas, guys ;-)

[Jerry Frost]

I'm sitting here saturday morning, waiting for the guys 
to get here and cut up the horizontal assaultive spruce 
tree and I'm watching "Whacked Out Sports". They just 
showed a couple guys in England somewhere who built a 
car hurling trebouche. At a guess I'd say it chunked a 
mid sized compact a couple hundred yards.

It would've gone farther if they'd bend the sling 
finger thingy a bit farther forward. The barrel of 
burning gasoline went about 350 yds.

I love a trebouche, they're so powerful and graceful. 
They're just beautiful to watch.

Unless of course you're on the recieving end. <grin>
