The Eliminator.

Today was Sunday.  Yesterday I had a play-date with my friend.  In my dad's shop we made a completely homemade crossbow.  It fired at least forty feet.  When my friend was here it broke two times.  We also fixed it two times.  The first time we called it The Eliminator.  The second time we called it The Eliminator II.  Once my friend left it broke two more times.  The Eliminator III and The Eliminator IV came to town.   I broke The Eliminator IV I finally decided it was getting too boring to keep on fixing, gluing, nailing, and hammering The Eliminator, so I stopped doing it.

It was made completely out of: wood, duck tape, gorilla glue and spray paint.  The first time I showed my dad The Eliminator I said I came up with a new invention (the Arrow and Bow*).  My friend loved it until I broke it.

Just for the record, I would like to say that my little brother also made one.  The only thing that's different between my bow and my little brother's bow is that mine is in the trash.  His is in the mudroom for safe keeping.

Me and my broken Eliminator IV.
