Of Delight and Felicity.
There is a child in all of us and we need to recognise that very fact.
At times, we ought to indulge in childly yet astonishingly gratifying activities; simple and unadulterated fun.
Thence, upon this fruition, we embarked on a Mammoth Sand-Castle Building Adventure at East Coast and in addition to that was the Great Paper-Plane Experiment.
We started with scrawlings and digging random holes, but then later, we both concurred that what was required to beautify the beach was a sand-castle.
Firstly, we did some planning in the sand with twigs. What followed was an immense amount of excavating and sculpting. It was rather exhausting, but a whole lot of fun.
There, that is our castle.
The aforementioned edifice features a 300-feet deep moat that is domiciled by a thousand of the notoriously savage and ferocious African Black-Edged Monster-Madness Alligators.
Now, on to the Great Paper-Plane Experiment.
I wanted to know what kind of paper-planes fly best, with best constituting the capability of gliding the longest distance.
In order to ascertain the best paper-plane design, we were compelled to carry out an experiment.
We folded an array of different planes with all sorts of paper we could get our hands on, and that includes my A-Level M.T question booklet. Hah.
We singly tested the flying capabilities of each and and dutifully recorded all the damned results, for the good of all mankind.
Sharp heads, blunted heads, short wing-span, huge wing-span, number of folds, side-wings fold, back-wings fold, down-fold, double squared-folds, we thought of everything.
We went to the 14th storey and glided the planes from there.
Some designs were hopelessly unworthy of flight, however, amidst the ineffectual, there emerged a champion of a design
Bloody hell, a couple flew like a few hundred odd-feet, no shit!
It glided far, long and smooth, legato-like; akin to an eagle, riding the cold winds, swooping tenaciously and gracefully rounding beautiful arcs.
It was utterly mind-boggling, some flew so far that they went out of our sight, literally.
Considering the irrefutable fact that I am among their biggest fan, Slipknot decided, nemine contradicente, to rope me into the band.
I am the tenth member of Slipknot. I play the triangle and of course, it comes with effects and is amplified through a 400 watt Carvin cabinet.
