Aha.

Some of these stories are so funny.

My story, well my real life one is pretty sad, not anything to do with games, just things which have happened 🙁

But i’ll at least tell yall how I got my Username.

In Year 6 (5th Grade if your a yank), we were soon to be moving to our secondary school, a teacher of a name of the most incredible name you could think of (Andrews) came & talked to us about SCIENCE!

This was my forte & interest since I first started school probably & I’ve always liked Science (probs why i’m taking it for GCSEs, and predicted good grades) & he was teaching us about rockets.

He showed us a video of the SSC Bloodhound (before it did it’s record breaking drive last year, I am now in Year 10, this was like 3 years ago perhaps this story when it happened) & made hydrogen gas under a test tube by splitting water with electrodes & then did a ‘pop’ test by igniting the hydrogen.

He then gave us the task to make a paper/card rocket & that a competition would arise from it that the rocket which stayed in the air long enough would win.

We all got set to work, yet remember how I told you my life is a bit sad (well more so back then) I did this on my own, probably because I wanted all the credit.

With an irrational sense of optimism as we walked out onto the fields with our little paper rockets, I was thinking up a good name for my rocket, I had recently watch the film Armageddon (not something a 11 year old boy should have been watching at that age xD) & I thought of calling my rocket that, until it hit me… Palmerageddon.

We all stood in a circle as this epic man from the ‘big school’ with his trusty pump on the ground, lowered the first rocket onto it, a build up of air pressure soon was created and POOF! up it went into the sky.

He timed it from when it was launched to when it hit the ground.

Slowly, more and more people’s rockets were launched, some successful & some not so.

I was last, the two girls before me had gotten the best time out of anyone else that day!

I stepped slowly up to the pump, handed the shiny bald man my Palmerageddon, & watched as it was pumped full of air.

POOF! Up it went, and a good height too, but now listen closely, this is the best part.

My rocket had 4 ‘wings’ on the side, 2 at the top, 2 at the bottom.

Each was opposite each other & where attached to the rocket in such a way, that the configuration was never quite the same, yet it was what you could call ‘symetrical’.

But as the rocket reached it’s highest point, it began to turn onto it’s sides, and the ‘wings’ began to work, those wings worked like parachutes for the thing, & put it at an angle so that it even ‘glided’ in away!

Unfortunately for someone in my class, straight into their face xD

Yet despite this slight time penalty, I WON!!!!!!

Andrews was very proud & intrigued by my small rocket & asked to take it back to the ‘big school’ to show around there, yet promised to bring it back.

Another good part was, my rocket held the record for all the schools he visited!

This was the rocket which created & forever will hold & treasure the name, Palmerageddon.

Infact, I’ve still go the rocket some where xD

If I can find it, I’ll take a picture & post it, mind you it is a bit old & so is a bit floppy, but it still brings back those fond memories.

@palmerageddon

you logic on this being unfair is far fetched. We have ample opportunity for him to prove himself. They admitted later about having a hacked client which is against the rules. This is the second time he was caught. No more bloody chances :-).

@_lego_

Don’t let me near your bat xD

I might let it loose again xD

Then I remember you guys would look over and wander “What is Palmerageddon up to next door?” as I jumped around the room trying to herd the bat back into it’s box for half an hour xD

@palmerageddon this senate chamber is gonna be more symbolic to the FNAs cooperation more than anything

@palmerageddon can you just get off from your profile you clearly seem like you are 10 years old. When we made this crew we never heard of the 13 colonies and are not ripping them off. Stonemedow was the decided name of our town. Decky town is the name of the town we let our deckhands live in until they can rank up.

@Palmerageddon nobody takes the copyright group seriously.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DARKLIGHT I’LL MISS YOU!!

I was looking forward to the banter we were going to have this Christmas!!
Good Luck.
