Okay, so Fantastic Contraption now rules my life. Feel free to post your triumphs, tribulations, and disasters here (I still can't make a suitable catapult, but my tanks kick ass).
Also, y'all are invited to my local pub for Halloween. Big costume contest and cash prizes if any of you are in the north end (also a chance to meet Thingray and Jeanuts). Details to follow if anyone is interested (I won't advertise for them unless someone is interested).
Please reference LL bowling night. I haven't read the post yet, but I'm already excited!
BTW, I didn't jump the gun this time, I was just the only one up late enough to post this thing this early in the morning! HA!!

Stuck on level 6 or so, how do you make a catapult?

Make a triangle with a moving wheel at the top
then put a wood rod out straight out from the side of the circle, then attache a blue rod to the end of the wood rod and to one of the hooks on the wheel. This is really basic but you’ll get more ideas from seeing this simple one in action.

One of the balls is inside the box

Having four in the back wasn’t a huge problem, though, I think it might’ve been possible

But, straight down Pine gets you to Von’s which is ok. Up the hill 2.5 blocks to Baltic Room. Six Arms is over on Pike, but meh. There is a bar in the convention center last time I was in there, also meh. You could hit the bar in Gameworks also.
All that said Nitelite may be the best choice.

No, which is why I'm going this year. Going to the parade first (my friend is rolling) and then heading across.
It’s just a big street party, isn’t it?
by NOLAmarinergirl on Oct 31, 2008 9:46 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, it's just people in the streets everywhere with really great costumes.
There’s bars and clubs playing live music, but I’d recommend bringing some booze along, because it takes forever to get a drink. I always end up running into just about everyone I know in town while I’m down there. I’ve never been to the Krewe of Boo before, but that should be fun. I’m going to a party before I head down there at my friends’ house.

Krewe of Boo is new this year, but the Mollie's parade that rolls after it is awesome.

Oh good, flasks are just so darn handy.
I’m building a costume right now, but I’m not sure if it will work. I’m planning on making a cylinder out of cardboard that I can wear, and painting it brown and sticking branches on it. Then I’ll but a big red letter B on it and go as a B-log.
If that doesnt work then I’ll go with my permanent stand-by: a baseball costume my mother made for me when I was eight. It’s “signed” by Ken Griffey Jr.

I dont think the show would be better without Pam and Jim, just the Pam-Jim relationship. Now that you mention it, all three of the main plot lines revolved around love interests. The Dwight and Andy interview was pretty great, though.

This is a great Japanese how-to manual.
I am going to translate it for you:
1. Upon approaching a covered plate of poop, scrutinize for a short while at a close distance.
2. Take poop plate home and proudly show your roommate. Say something witty that will make him feel jealous.
3. Remove lid. Prepare utensils, then savor it’s stunning bouquet.
4. Light the poo plate aflame, and if a swimsuit-clad female approaches and asks you to share, tell her she may not have any.
5. When the woman storms out of your house, she may leave the door open. A strong wind may blow. Yell at the wind to leave you alone.
6. Extinguish poo-poo platter. Place on head. Ponder how many fucking times poop has ruined potential relationships.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.

Some kids just knocked on my door. I don’t have my porch light on or anything, and am not participating in trick or treating. But they kept banging on the door and I did have some little bags of Skittles, so I gave them two each and they didn’t say anything, just walked away. So I yelled “YOU’RE WELCOME” after them and slammed the door.

Oi, I read Baker's blog for the first time in ages today.
It’ll probably be another month or three before I read his blog again. I swear all he’s doing these days is writing half-assed refutation pieces in response to whatever Dave Cameron has chosen to write about. I’m starting to think Pocket Lint was less annoying than Geoff is.

There was a point in time in which he had an amicable relationship with the USSM/LL.
Now it’s boiled down to a meta blog-war. Although I did get a laugh out of Dave saying something to the affect of “I was going to get mad at Geoff, then I remembered he’s wrong about everything.”

According to the NY Daily News,
Hank Steinbrenner adores Manny.
“Personally, I like Manny,” said Steinbrenner, the Yankees’ co-chairman. “He’s one of the greatest hitters in the history of the game. He’s a free spirit, for sure, but he knows how to win. We like some of the other guys, too. We just don’t know yet.”
I would have liked to see Manny hit .350 and break the single season HR record facing NL pitching for a whole season.

Why does Cashman even exist over there? From the slant the press puts on it, it makes any NY GM look like a puppet to me. Oh for the ability to be a fly on the wall for the closed door happenings on some of these FO staff. Manny and CC in pinstripes? yay.
