Post from work? That would mean I would need to be doing non-company
activity on company time! Not good. Not that I ever have, of course. Oh
wait, there was that little thing called "Project X" :)
Actually, I really hate posting because of the SCE (Stupid Confirmation
Email). Well said Iain.
For the record, I was inspired by a show I saw on TV last week where these
guys chopped down a 50ft (oops, 15m) tree and build this monsterous
contraption THAT ACTUALLY ENDED UP WORKING. It was too cool. My original
idea was to knock down some monolithic castle walls, as opposed to getting
your tire to land inside a castle. But both are good.
There were two things that really made me like this challenge:
1. We could finally include Castle Freaks in an rtlToronto event.
2. The projectile would be some odd shaped non-predictable flying object,
to inject a certain amount of randomness into the game. That way, master
builders like Rob would be put at a disadvantage and regular Joes like me
could get a chance at actually winning for change!!

| (...) If you really want to make (some) Castle Freaks happy, your target maybe ought to be a "space base" instead of a castle. (well, probably not a good idea to reopen that particular line of thought). Iain: Golf Balls??? Ouch. (22 years ago, 25-Jul-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
