Shop Class: [1/30]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

When the students arrive, they see the familiar backdrop of the scrap yard in place.

The only thing that would seem different about it would be the large pile of tennis balls sitting in middle of it.

"All right, kids. Today's assignment is to build a tennis ball cannon gun using items you might find here in the scrapyard."

ETA:

The following students will get detention if they do not supply an OOC or IC excuse for missing two classes in a row by next class period (Weds).

Xander completely handwaved this because my brain will not wrap around anything more complicated that what Nadia's already done, yet Xander ought to know how to do something like this, especially since he actually owns a marshmallow cannon ended up with a contraption involving plastic piping, glue, and, with a friendly sticking out of his tongue at Nadia, a roll and a half of duct tape - which launched his tennis ball an impressive 13 inches away, with a sickly popping sound that wasn't nearly as impressive as the one that came from his $24.99 mass-marketed marshmallow shooter.

He stared at it rather sadly. "I'd like to think that if I'd managed to sleep in my own bed for more than one night in the last three, I'd have enough functioning braincells to make this thing work. Please indulge me in this fantasy."

Nadia gave Xander a mock-innocent look. "Maybe it'll work better without the duct tape?"

Xander backed ostentatiously away from her, and looked mock-fearfully at the sky. "Hey Mac, what's the radius on lightning strikes? Or do you think God would go after me anyway for questioning his aim?"

Nadia stuck her tongue out at him.

"Nadia? Is there a problem?" Mac says in his best authoratative teaching voice.

Nadia swung around, looking innocent. She of course had no idea that she was now pointing her tennis ball gun back at Mac. I don't know what you're talking about.

"Now. Now. There's a line that one shouldn't cross with their teacher, Ms. Santos." Mac said, still with his authoratative tone.

Nadia hurriedly swung her gun around behind her back and lowered her eyes. "Sorry."

If he listened closely, he could hear her mutter something that sounded distinctly like "stupid duct tape,"

"I'd imagine that they are pretty accurate if it is a smiting," Mac said looking at Nadia with a concerned look. "He's forgiving about *some* things but not others."

Nadia scowled. "Yes, well, my last name means 'saint'. That's got to count for something."
