I want to throw something really expensive

[reprise]

A Faberge egg or a Ming vase or some other priceless and irreplaceable object would do just fine.

I'm supposed to be doing a lit review which is a rather important part of my thesis. I'm beginning to understand why people hire remote cabins in the woods and shoot those who come within 20 miles of the boundaries.

I have already drowned the landline phone. The mobiles are next. After that, rather than drowning the TVs and the kids, I'm running away from home.

I throw expensive things, but I try not to break them.

Last year I was on top of a small mountain in Wales, duct-taping a video camera onto the wing of a large model glider (3.2 metre wingspan). A passing walker took an interest, "Surely you're not going to throw that expensive video camera over the edge?" he asked.

I told him yes, but not to worry as the model glider was worth about three times as much as the video camera. He looked suitably stunned and went on his way muttering something I couldn't hear. :giggle:

Are you going to make the ultimate sacrifice, reprise, and do without your internet connection and forums? :eek:

Now, now... Let's not talk crazy. I say stick with the Faberge egg plan, reprise.

Us redneck hicks like to get an old teevee set and shoot it full of holes. There ain't nothin' quite as satisfyin' as blowin' that teevee toob up with the first shot.


Another suggestion, one which I actually do: Get some old boards and a good sized ballpeen or sledge hammer. Beat those boards into splinters. It really relieves that wanting to destroy something tension, plus makes kindling for your next BBQ. I strongly advise not doing this in front of children, it scares them.

Impressionist paintings get thrown before Faberge eggs - in my dreams where I can lay my hands on either/both. You will pry my books from my cold, dead, hands IRL. I can always replace a phone. I can never replace what books have brought to this poor little country girl's life - I only wish that a human lifetime was long enough to read them all.
