I discovered yesterday to my dismay that my home for three years, the U.S.S. Elliot, is scheduled to become a floating target at some point in her future. It’s sad that what was such a great ship in her time will meet such an undiginified fate. Then again, I’ve already said goodbye to Elliot at its decommissioning.
It used to be the other way around. I remember when Elliot conducted target practice exercises against the dreaded killer tomato, a wily and cunning opponent if ever there was one. I know for a fact that if the ship was ever attacked by a giant red floating balloon, we would’ve flat-out waxed that sucker.
The question now is, where and when will the Elliot SINKEX take place? And can I watch? Hell, can I take a few shots myself?! 🙂
