Yeah, that's why I *always* went up there with a fresh pistol whose barrel
hadn't yet been played out. I remember I once nailed Debbie from at least
25 yards with a new piece...

Personally, I always thought there was something lamely passive-aggressive
and "dig-me-I'm-a-Peaceful-Warrior"-esque about that technique.

Indeed. I once broke my tailbone there, landing ass-first on a big rock I
didn't expect to roll under my feet. It seemed that we averaged one fairly
serious injury per "war."

Yeah, Versailles rocked. Great black-bean chicken!

Joel missed a calling as a Marine sniper. Some of those guys will wait
three DAYS in near-complete stillness for a shot at a biggie.

This is called "Kentucky windage," and is an ancient technique with any sort
of projectile weapon. Gotta compensate for gravity!

Has anyone ever considered doing this on the high desert? Much more space,
far less likelihood of police sweeps, and John will stick out for MILES if
he tries to wear that silly uniform on the open outback.
