Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Ungh...another downside to working Presidents Day: most of the other groups in the building are out, and somebody is taking advantage of the closure to have some renovation done. We have a jackhammer being used somewhere nearby.

I still have a headache.

*sigh*

For you kids at heart, plans on how to build a 2400 rbpm (rubber band per minute) minigun. It's powered by cheap cordless screwdrivers. Plans and photos here.

Most excellent... dang, and I thought ~I~ had some pretty cool rubber band guns as a kid.

[RosieCotton]

Dang, that’s cool. We had a few double-barrel shotguns in our rubber band gun arsenals, but nothing like that!

[RosieCotton]

Heh...I liked the part of the video where they mowed down an army of 3.5” floppy disks and then showed close-ups of the carnage...

[RosieCotton]

Where *is* everybody today?

Most excellent... dang, and I thought ~I~ had some pretty cool rubber band guns as a kid.

I knew that would appeal to the juvenile delinquents among us. Now I just need the ambition to build one.

Corin was mean to me so I left ;-p

this is my older brother’s 5th.

WooHoo! Mazel Tov!

[RosieCotton]

The lack of water thing is getting seriesly old.

This time, I was doin’ dishes and up to my arms in suds.

I guess I’m jinxed.

[Corin Stormhands]

Corin was mean to me so I left ;-p

Obviously not mean enough if you came back.

ooops...did I say that outloud?

[HairOfTheDog]

So it was your fault again? :~)

[RosieCotton]

Apparently. ;-)

[RosieCotton]

Oh dear...

That is scary!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Isn't it though! hehehehe...

NaNo07: first draft finished. 77,854.

Actually, I think that one would be better with a caption like this one:

[RosieCotton]

I are a slacker.

But I’m actually close enough to finishing that I’m feeling a little sentimental about the whole affair. Which is farther than I generally get.

I should get in twenty minutes or so of writing tonight, though, even if I gotta force myself. I have to start a new section, so I need some prodding. Thanks for the reminder!
