The added bilge stew for a lil extra thrust at take off is a great idea.....good thinking men....that anchor chain is heavy as is...... 3 extra servings for Aktung for supper.....and i think some ritual in case this turns out to be a kamikaze mission...and once last visit aft is in order as well...

Tango,
Are you up to blessing this experiment?

I Think Aktung would be more accommodating if you shoved a rudder where the sun don't shine and you rig him with sails. :help::new:

OH good extra servings: enough left over for the return trip! http://www.swapmeetdave.com/Humor/Fireball.gifhttp://www.swapmeetdave.com/Humor/Fireball.gifhttp://www.swapmeetdave.com/Humor/Fireball.gifhttp://www.swapmeetdave.com/Humor/Fireball.gifhttp://www.swapmeetdave.com/Humor/Fireball.gifhttp://www.swapmeetdave.com/Humor/Fireball.gifhttps://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...674c0317c3.jpg

You are a genius! I get it, cover all our bases, if he can't fly all the way, he can sail and stir with just a butt wiggle........oh, which way does the old Miss flow...see we're pointed west, our aft is sort of east....and we're in a river bend here, confusing things...but it river flows north, can he sail against the flow......I think we need to use the TDC on this one and time when to shoot him......not sure we can determine his speed tho, not knowing if he's flying or sailing.

Someone get the camera ready too!

Hey wait a sec! don't we have a fire extinguisher? It would save tango time in the kitchen! https://media.giphy.com/media/CSW2ga9NTfcQw/giphy.gif

Another thought, why don't we carry out a shore raid, grab ourselves some old inner tubes, powerful length of knicker elastic, old rubber bands and anything else stretchy. Then we rig up a catapult and ping Aktung straight at the nearest passing ship with a suitable length of anchor chain and he can hook us up that way.

Blessings be upon you my son.

I prefer a trebuchet Just make sure U've done yer homework!http://virtualtrebuchet.com/Document...chetStages.png :O:An old Mongol TricK-biological warfare 101:

In 1345-6, while laying siege to the city of Kaffa, the Mongol army became infected with the Black Death. Gabriele de’ Mussi tells us what happened next:
“Whereupon the Tartars (Mongols), worn out by this pestilential disease, and falling on all sides as if thunderstruck, and seeing that they were perishing hopelessly, ordered the corpses to be placed upon their engines and thrown into the city of Kaffa. Accordingly were the bodies of the dead hurled over the walls, so that the Christians were not able to hide or protect themselves from this danger, although they carried away as many as possible and threw them into the sea.”

Because we are men and sailors in the navy and that would be illegal to raid our own nation....and boy, do you know what these country river people in Mississippi do to people that even walk on their property uninvited, much less steal from them...Now, I have no problem at all adding a catapult to the mix, just another thing to assure he makes it...but why not some of the bilge's spaghetti noodles.....same thing.. Still thinking somehow we can get the deck gun involved.

Wolferz 08-27-16 12:31 PM

Get down to the machine shop to fashion a harpoon for the deck gun and a good length of rope lashed upon it should be sufficient for achieving the velocity needed for flight....


He did well until gravity and inertia forced him into that sandbar:woot:

Captain Hindsight was looking at the butt of the problem and suggested one of Eich's monkies should have been used for the first test.

Armistead 08-28-16 04:43 PM

We made our first attempt last night, but something went wrong. It seems the fart and letting go of the prop must be better timed.... Aktung, after 3 extra servings farted before he let go of the prop. The sail doesn't work right with the wings, so somehow the sail must be deployed after flight has ended... Maybe instead of all this, why not just use the life raft and someone paddle to hook us up?

I'm cross about the lack of attendance in the Confessional. You all seem to be a Godless, heathen bunch whose souls are doomed to spend eternity in Damnation. Would a pint of Bilge Brew for each attendee entice anyone?

Bake us a nice cake and you're on :yeah:
