    Going great guns so far!

    I can get the NZ Artillery to come along with blank rounds if the fireworks don't do the job.

    They're not allowed to fire their heavy guns in the normal course of armying, and the only time they get to pull the lever is at events, so they're always available.

    Okay, I have to ask since I am hearing so much about heavy artillery...you boys aren't buying these from terrorists are you? If that is the case, I don't think I should be hanging out with you.

    Besides, I was too heavily influenced by the school assemblies (that was the word I was looking for earlier!) about how little kids blew off their appendages or their dog's mouth by playing with explosives.
    I don't care if the glass is half full or half empty, I'm just glad to have a glass.

    Now that's more like it. You'll get bonus points if you launch them from the organ pipes.

    Only the stupid ones. It's just Darwinian natural selection in progress. Actually I'd be happy just to watch a meteor shower, but it's always so cloudy down my way that I never get to see them. Now with half a dozen of ^those things I wouldn't have to worry about the weather.

    Any idiot can record heavy artillery if they have a mike and some heavy artillery.

    It takes real genius to record heavy artillery if you have a mike and no heavy artillery.

    So then, day-1 of the 1st Annual Barn Dance, Barbecue, and Book Club SheBang-a-Bang went off without a hitch. What a gas! What a hoot!

    Well okay, it was a little rainy. Oh yes, and in retrospect, it may have been a poor idea to set up the barbecue pit right next to the fireworks cache. But hey, now we have a mosh pit.

    Woo-hoo, strike up the band!
    Uhhhh...

    Yes, but when you have a stockpile of munitions left over from a world war, and a whole battery of 25 pounder field guns at your disposal, electing to use a .303 rifle and a dustbin is definitely cheap and nasty!

    Sancho: well done comrade, a grand hootenanny enjoyed by one and all. I hope there'll be time tomorrow for some mock, or even real executions. Is there any chance you can lay on some gladiators? We could revive celebrity death match with real celebrities. I quite fancy seeing Jennifer Anniston taking on Mike Tyson

    No, no, no.

    We only source weaponry from 100% reputable arms salespeople - like the US Army!

    We had the best meteor shower of all times during the summer. None quite the size of the Russian one recently, but a genuine shower of amazingly bright, long-lasting meteors. Thanks to the direction they were coming from, they appeared to be moving in slow motion.

    This is why we're having a hangi tomorrow. A hangi is a Maori earth oven, pretty much the same as a luau.

    I've had a couple of mates get a couple of wild pigs for us to cook. Takes all day to prepare and cook.

    Got any decent river stones around your way? It's going to be hell to pay excess baggage on 500 lb of rocks!

    Never quite get the Cirque De Sole...well, whatever they are called; I guess it's a bit too sophisticated for me. I took Silent to the Circus when she was a child, I found myself noticing the flies around the elephants and wondering when the costumes had last been laundered...oh, and the sexy horse riding lady had a thick bit of hair under her arm...

    On a different note:
    Paul, did you do the job interview yet?

    Silent: I was thinking of putting a nice red bird on Selenas hood...
