Let it be publicly known, that on September 21, Year of Our Lord 2007, 12:53 PM, that klingonlandlady opined that it would be a good idea if we had a kitchen trebuchet, for launching compost into the compost pile in the back yard.

So if/when it gets built, she ASKED for it.

Please note also that it should be a (somewhat) convenient kitchen appliance, and it should be Steam Punk. Also the stripper pole is still a higher priority, thanks :)

[sensesurfer]

Ooooo and they have ones that rotate!

[rmd]

now i'm trying to imagine a steampunk stripper pole. what would jules verne's tawdry lady friends use?

[skreeky]

Can I watch you calibrate it?

[drwex]

Hey if she's calibrating the stripper pole *I* want to watch, too.

[istemi]

Will you post plans? I could use one.

Or how about a zipline, such that the payload would dump itself out when it reached the end of the line?

[istemi]

On second thought, the slope from pantry to compost heap isn't steep enough. How about a rail gun?

[klingonlandlady]

Hm, telescoping pole with payload at top, attached to zipline, big crank to raise the pole and lever to release payload... all done up steampunk, of course.

[istemi]

And spherical, for extra credit.

[clara_girl]

okay.

so there is a silks rig occasionally erected in your back yard.

the compost heap is BEHIND the rig

the kitchen window is in FRONT of the rig.

hee! we'll have to be able to set it for a tall enough trajectory to avoid the aerialists. Unless we want to put on our own version of The Gong Show :)

I would like to help build this.
I miss real engineering.
