I wish you had been my history teacher lol![/quote] The school was not going to allow the boys to fire their trebuchets (liability concerns), so I came up with the idea of having them shoot peeps. Little did I know that peeps fired from trebuchets become as hard as rocks after only a couple firings. Edited April 24, 2009 by Apotheoun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheoun Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) The biggest one was a little over 14 inches (with the arm down in firing position). The winning shot was 29 feet (forward). One boys trebuchet shot 8 feet (backwards), so I gave him a special -- traitors prize -- for killing his own men. Although I wasn't possible to measure accurately, one of the trebuchets first about 25 to 30 feet straight up in the air. The peep in that firing landed only about 3 feet from the trebuchet itself.

Now lets get right to the meat of things shall we? How would you say avatars have evolved in pahtmass for the last 3-4 years? And where or how would you place your own avatar in this history?[/quote] I'm not sure. I've noticed that they've become some sort of signature thing to a "whatever I feel like posting to one-up the other guy". Things have changed. Sometimes the Avs reflect the moods or desires of the PMers. Mine, it hasn't changed. Was considering doing so, but then I thought I'd confuse the heck out of some people... but I think mine just reflects where I stand . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never changed mine either; just doing so would be... I don't know. I came to phatmass shortly after John-Paul the Great passed away and I was overwhelmed at finally being able to exchange honest thoughts on Catholicism with fellow catholics (without fitlering through the liberal carp soooo common in my Canadien surroundings). I woudl almost feel as though I was seperating myself from taht a bit if i changed my avatar. Its were I've stood, its were I stand - in the shadow of papa the great. Thanks for your thoughts. Now lets take some calls or have people from the audience walk up to the mic and ask questions to our special guests of the hour; Bad Boy and SMM. Come on now don't be shy, we're listening. *sounds of crickets in the distance* Note: We'll be cleaning out the attic after the show, those crickets have been anoying since day 1.

Didacus Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Its been a while since we gathered together to discuss avatars... as a host, I would ask if anyone would like to discuss their avatars, here, on the phatmass' favorite talk show; AVATALK!
