Derringer

After one panda decided to stick itself into the driftwood and die, another panda got fin rot. I bought some medicine that specifically treats fin rot, but after three days it (the fish) was gone. Its tail fin was completely missing. I’ve lost two fish, one to unfortunate circumstances, another to high stress and disease. It makes me sad.

I had just gotten through a super happy fun time, too, on inklink, where me and the staffers from CheesyMUD played pictionary. Pictionary online is uber fun, especially when we all play for sheer amusement. Kyrol managed to get a few answers correct on luck, because he was being sarcastic and it just so happened to be the word the game was looking for. I mean, how can you guess “derringer” when someone draws a walther-ppk? He even got “africa” because he was making fun of my crappy drawing of that continent. Too bad I can’t play when I’m at work; I’d laugh too loud.

    It was a derringer, dammit. I was about to draw a hand underneath it for scale.

    Right right. For one thing, most derringers have a rounded handle, no trigger guard, and what looks like two barrels. What you drew, my friend, was a walther-ppk, the kind James Bond uses.

    Blah.

    I realized the round handle later, and tried to round it out.

    The only derringer I’ve really seen is the one John Wilkes Booth used to kill President Lincoln.* And it hand a trigger guard. So ha. 🙂

    (Yes, I realize it looked dumb and wasn’t accurate. I saw the gun in 1992, so allow for a 13-year memory retrieval.)
