Well, since I'm obviously writing the Indirect Fire posts for myself...

...we'll just skip today's planned discussion:

M2 60mm Mortar in the holdings of the Arsenal of Argghhh!, sitting in the Inner Bailey of Castle Argghhh!

And move on to this.

All right, smarty-pants - you know who you are - what's this?

You won't get this one in a million years.

I think you guys need a hint. You can play, Master Pogue - as noted in the comments... who said this is an Indirect Fire artifact? Of course, who says it isn't..

butt end of a knee mortar for someone with extremely durable thighs.

Instead of waffling on like i usually do. It's a rusty bitometal. Probably heavily handled. I'll guess an archorage point for a dock. I suspect it's really something much smaller.

What a jip. Where's the lecture? YOu know, the best way to get gollum to stfu is to put something edumacational up. Slacker.

Heh. Izzat some ordure I see on the portcullis? I do believe it is. Musta caught a troll last night. That'll need cleaning.

Trias - your answer is correct, if incomplete. MajMike fails to rise to the bait he left yesterday...

i saw, i just didn't figure you could find a pic so quick!

I didn't *find* one, MajMike. I *took* one. As in pointed the electronic gizmo at the artifact and pushed a button and some photons excited some electrons, and it went south from there.

I've been enjoying your indirect fire posts and looking for more. I'm just sitting this round out as ordered, sir! :-)

Pogue - by all means, get in on this one! No one else is making any serious attempts. MajMike was too wiley for my trap.

Rusty lump o'metal related to indirect fire... Hmmm... Have you taken up anvil firing? What do the neighbors think of this?

I suspect my north and south neighbors would be amused. My east neighbors, I don't know. My west neighbors, the high school, aren't in session. I can't quite see anvil-firing as indirect fire... And who said this *was* related to indirect fire?

It's a cog in the wheel, like the rest of us poor rusty schmucks.

gotta have something really effective to "trap a tanker"...

Yep, like take down the road signs, given the mapreading skillz I encountered.

Actually, it looks like the end of a chair arm to me. Wouldn't put it past Big Tribble to just screwball us. "It's a cog in the wheel, like the rest of us poor rusty schmucks." And that gets an Andrew Dice Clay 'Oh!".
