I had a little desktop trebuchet a while back. Had it set up to lob m&ms over the cube wall, and a guy on the other side of the row acting as a forward artillery controller for me. Lob one over, get an email back – 2 feet long, 1 foot left or whatever. Real quiet too, sounded like nothing more than a dropped pencil. We dial it in before work started and waited for the guy who sat there to get in while he cleared out the test ammo. Around 9.00, the “target” is there, I email my FAC “Fire Mission” and let one fly. Bounced it off his head, lands in his coffee cup. Hear “WTF?” from the other side of the cube wall. Email comes back. “Fire for effect.” Lob another one. doink Hit him in the ear. He gets up and hollers “Whose throwing m&ms at me?” Of course, none of the 20 or so other people in the room even know what’s going on. We repeat this two or three more times that day before he twigs that it’s us. He was a good sport about it once he did. Got back at us with a rubber band shotgun a while later.
To quote Yoda, “Size matters not.” Besides, if the KC135E in your handle means you are ex-Air Force, you should know that a F-16 is a LOT smaller than a KC135 but can still deal out a world of hurt.
Weird Al Yankovic’s “Polkarama” medley features a clip from Snoop’s ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ done with a banjo. I don’t think he has any accordion playing at the same time, but all of Al’s polka medleys have accordion in them. That might be as close as you’re going to get.
