I need a water gun
on: April 18, 2013, 12:18:57 AM
I'm assigned a target and I have to assassinate her.  

Give me the most powerful water gun you know of.  Price isn't an issue.

I was thinking of using an industrial pressure washer, but it's loud and that would blow my cover and she would run away.  

Long range is preferred.  I wanna be able to hard scope her so I won't be vulnerable to whoever is targeting me.

Pressure washer also came to mind.  Maybe they make ones that you can wear like a backpack. 

Don't they make water cannons for controlling riot crowds?

What about a fire truck?  Those things can move water far.  Plus its great camouflage, and you'll look cool driving it.

If you need even more water, maybe a water bomber plane.  That puts some distance between you and your "fire".  Not to mention you get a beautiful view.

This is all sounding very Mythbusterish.  Brings to mind the chicken cannon.

Who's your target?  No, let me guess.  You caught valentina with jmenz playing scriabin's reverie and you want revenge?

In a solely orchestral work, I'm really only good on the bass triangle. Does Ms Lisitsa play anything besides piano?

You could probably manage 1 or 2 different crash cymbal parts..

Just bad aim (at least that's what my defence counsel told 'em)

I missed your point. I was talking about repertoire for piano and triangle.

Not sure about the Winkler/Scriabin other than that I bags Primo. The secondo would drive me batty.

When it gets warmer perhaps?



Okay so my assassinator tried to get me.  I saw him walking towards me with his super soaker, and I ran back towards the school because it's a safe zone.  The weight of my book bag was holding me down, but I had to run with it because he could've taken it and used it to lure me out.  So anyways, he was catching up!  So at this point, I'm like, 'oh sh*t I gotta get to school!  Just a little more!  Almost there!'. So I ended up tripping and face planting into the back of a car.  I broke the lights, destroyed my knees, and got a bump on my head, but that's okay because I was safe!!!

But he wasn't!  So when he realized that I beat him to the safe zone, he stop chasing me and began walking.

Don't let your guard down ***!!!  His assassinator got him in a freaking drive by!!!

So now he's feeling salty.  Since he's out of the game, he gave me his super soaker.  Then he said, 'watch out, she's coming for you next'.  He was right!!!  If you assassinate your target, then you get their target!  I gotta keep it real lowkey now.
