Larry,

I painted the test stand per your appropriate color scheme, with the
exception that I did the base in a charcoal pinhole texture.

The lighting belies the actual color. The blue part is a _DEEP_ cobalt
blue when viewed with eyes instead of an LCD pickup.

Gawdjus, LLoyd. Just gawdjus. The black trunk paint on the base
works, too.

I wonder what the stand is supposed to test, but the paint job does
look nice.

My main reason for replying, though, is: what is the "charcoal pinhole
texture"? I like the effect, but haven't heard of that before.

Larry called it "trunk paint", but it isn't.

That slab of aluminum was a drop of unknown alloy. Whatever it was,
it must've had a good bit of silicon in it, and I didn't have any
proper primer. When I went to paint it (with hammertone black), I
must've stripped and re-painted it about five times, trying to
eliminate the fish-eyes.

Well... I didn't have any fish-eye medicine, and it's kind of hard to
add to a spray can, anyway. So I took the bad case, and deliberately
made it worse.

I lay a sheet of 600-grit silicon carbide paper on the surface, and
"pounced" it with a rubber mallet -- all over twice.

Then I brushed the surface lightly with a foxtail, and painted as
before. Now, instead of five or six fish-eyes, I got thousands of
tiny ones -- "pinholes". It looked good, so I left it that way.

Larry called it "trunk paint", but it isn't.

I thought it might be the light gray undercoat with flecks of multi-

for eons.

Your darker gray is much more attractive, believe me.

Oh, what a difficult choice. I'd go for a "Report Shell" with a
tail, so you can follow it on the way up.

As for launching, are there any Battleships with main batteries that
are still in operable condition? You need at least a 16" barrel to do
a proper "Dr. Strangelove" with a shell like that...

And launch at an angle over the ocean, which might annoy the Coastal
Commission as a bonus. They can make the average land owner's life a
living hell, yet they can't force the celebs to open the beach access
paths in Malibu (even when they agreed to Open Access as a condition
of getting building permits) so a pox on all of them.

is that what a gerb is?

I always thought it was a gerbil strapped to a bottle rocket.


If Lloyod will make us a great big bottle rocket will you strap
hawkie or cliffie to it?

I would be so honored to do so.

The question though is..should it have a big bursting charge, or
should we let them do the 300lb watermelon from a High Place routine?



Since both of them are cartoon characters, I think it would be more
fitting to have it slam into the side of a mountain before exploding.
To be fair, they can have tiny umbrellas, in case of falling anvils.

And tiny little 4 shroud, square parachutes


Of course. We want to make sure they have a safe ride.

Be sure to rig a girdle to catch them when they finally touch
down. Don't want them to hurt their little tootsies.


Before, or after they slam into the side of the mountain?

OOOh, Both! Like a pinball, they can bang back and forth against
each wall, racking up them points in that great Bally Pinball Machine
in the Sky!
Unless they tilt the machine and go straight for the drain.


I don't envy the team of plumbers who'll have to clean out THAT
drain. :(.

No problem. Just replace the anvils with appropriately sized
bowling balls or boulders, and they'll roll right on out.

Or you can send off for the Express Automatic Drain Plunger. From
Acme, FOB Santa Fe, Taos and Albequrquie, ... Albaqueque ... Al Barby
Que ... just take a left turn at Coney Island and you cant miss it.
