For days when you can't get a kite aloft because the ground level wind isn't strong enough, or you just don't feel like running around trying to get it to take flight, the Crossbow Kite would make life easier. At rest it would be folded like an umbrella. When you shot it into the air it would stay
folded until the end of the line was reached, at which point the sudden stop would snap it open. Then you could hand it to your child and let them play with it while you just laid down in the grass and watched.

Windy here right now. Do you offer same day delivery? |
|
| |
Dang - even if it doesn't get the kite launched, I'd still be quite happy playing with it all afternoon! ("Oops - sorry, Vicar!") |
|
| |
I thought it was an extension of the kittoon. |
|
| |
Yes, the projectile kites should be left to professionals. |

<commercial plug> The R&D team here at CrossBow Industries have been busy developing exciting new uses for our entire CrossBow lineup. The CrossBow Kite is just one of our latest ideas to hit the market. We are at this very minute perfecting the CrossBow Mailbox Delivery System, whereby you won't have to leave your doorstep to place your outgoing letters into your nearest postal box. Simply attach your mail to one of our patented "carrier sticks", insert it into your CrossBow and let it fly. Watch out, Mr. Wilson! |

Coming soon to a CrossBow boutique near you, the CrossBow Lip Balm Applicator, available in wild cherry or refreshing mint, and the CrossBow Apple-Corer. Order yours today! They make great gifts. <end commercial plug> |

[longshot9999], I'm loading up a croissant into my CrossBow. Say Ahhh! |
|
| |
<grumpy old fart mode> [Canuck] if your next idea is "Pimp my Crossbow" I'm gonna trebuchet your ass out of here. </gofm> |
|
| |
<smart arse mode> What are you gonna do about "Trebuchet Kite"? CrossBow me to the moon?<samo>
Man, I love this place! I poke a little fun, give a tasty bun, and get threatened with launching my backside from here to Sunday. If I had fishboned the idea would I have to check my mail for exploding custard? <wonders to elf whether [ls9999} and [mtsnot] are one person using 2 identities...> |

Listen 'ere young fella: I'll let you off with a warning because you have obviously not been briefed about our 0.5Space Programme's launchin preferences: Around here we use a railgun! |
|
| |
Oh, and about exploding custard: You should be wearing your croissant-patterned knickers (linky) |
|
| |
<hangs head in shame> I tried to order some but I think the courier got the packages mixed up because all I got was a Thighmaster and a pair of fishnet knee socks. |
