I have accepted an engineering challenge. Being a software geek, this may have been a bad idea.
There’s a strip club across the river. It’s an eyesore. Two stories tall, bright pink. Named “Cheaters.” I wish to strike at the heart of the evil…or at least at its most visible wart. We will attack with frozen chickens.
I will build a siege engine. A trebuchet. Said machine will be capable of flinging a seven pound payload the half mile required to strike from across the river. The light, flexible design will allow us to assemble, attack, strike, and flee before law enforcement arrives.
My karate instructor assures me that he can construct a potato gun which will outperform my chicken engine. The penalty for failure will be extreme. I will be shot with the potato gun. My reward for success will be the use of his minions in my attack. Our test will take place on a local football field. If I can’t outperform him there, I will never clear the river.
Into the breach.
