If only you'd been wearing your petard. Definition: 1. A small bell-shaped bomb used to breach a gate or wall. 2. A loud firecracker. 3. [French pétard, from Old French, from peter, to break wind, from pet, ... I would hazard a guess you only get to wear your petard once, unless you are using old French...

Fred, Peter was using his usual quick and agile mind to suggest a whimsical solution to Andrew's problem. In the good old days(Middle Ages)the guy affixing the petard to the besieged castle, etc. would sometimes have it go off as he was doing so and the defenders would note with amusement as his body(or pieces thereof)flew through the air that he was "hoist by his own petard". Since Axiom wouldn't hoist Andrew up the tower, a petard might have been strong enough to do the trick.

Peter's wit intimidates me almost as much as Bob's. For instance, I didn't get the above reference till JohnK explained it (thanks John!). Of course then I remembered that it wasn't necessary for me to get references to the Middle Ages because WE'RE NOT LIVING IN THE FU**IN' MIDDLE AGES, ARE WE?

Yeah, but some of us remember our past life experiences better than others.
It just so happens, one of us HAD to be the "petard" guy.

I guess archaic and moribund references REALLY piss him off. Great! Another place I have to walk on eggshells.
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

You know whose wit I miss? Bren's. He introduced me to the phrase back in 2004. (Damn, that was a long time ago...)

At least Bren drops in from time to time, but not frequently enough, been a long time since his last post.
Speaking of lost Axiom souls, Mojo says hello to everyone.

Yeah, Peter; I remembered some of that old "petard" thread. I enjoyed discussing the damping factor question there. The little quip I made about "dynamitophiles" is something I haven't been able to use again in the last seven years, but for some reason the topic just doesn't seem to come up.

Jason, tell Mojo to visit us. I've been keeping his "Stunning Recordings" thread warm for him.
