The word caulk is funnier when said out loud.
This day in History:
 Today was busier than the average Saturday. Woke up around nine and went to Home Depot to get stuff for the rocket project, they didn't have the Styrofoam I was looking for so we went to JoAnne's they had a bunch of blocks that I figured I would just glue together. We went back home and Mitch and Steve came over. We realized that the blocks glued together wouldn't work for making a nose cone so we went back to Home Depot and got bigger blocks to glue together and really strong glue. Went back home and made fins for the rocket, while the glue was drying we went inside from the garage to play some Clone Wars multiplayer on Game Cube. That was pretty fun, Clone Wars has a decent multiplayer, even if the graphics look like shit. And I don't mean "the shit" more like literal shit, except on your TV screen. So we went back to the garage and I started trying to get a rough shape for the nose cone out of the 2ft by 6 in by 6 in piece that we had made. After a little lathing using a power drill I go a pretty nice curve on the tip of it. Then Steve started a conversation that went a little like this:Steve: wow, your neighbors must be pretty freaked out. Me: Why? Steve: Well, you're holding the world's largest dildo. Me (looking down at the 2ft long nose cone): Shit, you're right. Nor did the day's innuendos stop there. I had earlier purchased some silicone based sealant (caulk) to use in the project. The lathing process left a hole in the tip of the nose cone that we decided to fill with said caulk (it had the added benefit of increasing the nose cone weight and balance. So we stuck the caulk in the hole and waited for it to harden. I'll leave the conversations we had up to your imagination. After all of that we started to paint the rocket and make an egg container. Of course it starts to rain, making the garage very humid and less than ideal for drying paint and glue. The rain was nice in itself though. We finished up the project at about seven, though I still have a little bit to do, in addition to all the other homework I neglected. | Random Picture: We really saw this in Tokyo, I have some more crazy sign pictures to post in a bit.
