• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Recurve bows - are they the ones with a double curve that are very difficult to draw? You could probably transfix two publishers at once with one of those...hmmmm...
Yeah, it had a 55-pound draw at 28 inches. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it was. I did put a couple arrows straight through the bales of hay, and was all like, "THE CARNAGE!!"

We had to build a solid fence as a backstop to our archery range. Lost too many arrows in the neighbor's barley field! I used to teach archery...but I'm not very good at it. I can hit the target about half the time...
I set up against a tree in front of a dirt hill, and it was still hard to find them once in a while. But if I was way high and got over the hill, beyond was nothing but forest and underbrush, and I was like, "well, now I have seven arrows..."
And as far as archery goes, unless you're like ranked competitively, hitting the target half the time is pretty darn good! That's why they lined up a hundred archers and shot in the general direction of an army, and then said hell with it switched over to arbalests!
 
A number of Google employees would have to collaborate to break the encryption and discover your search history, and such a thing would be noticed.

And would also make one hell of a story plot. Like, say, to catch an international band of terrorists, starring Antonio Banderas as quiet but brave Google middle-manager Esteves.

Nicole GO!!

*scribbles notes furiously* Danny Trejo needs to work his way in here as well. Which naturally also means Michelle Rodriguez. A+ cast so far.
