I got a question for Bella WTF is a Grapeshot?

Only Grapeshot I know about is lead balls about the size of grapes that were used to fill the bore of a cannon. Then they shoved some powder in and fired it off into the enemy and mowed them down in a most devastating manner. I think it was mostly ships that used it.

No no no no...................Bells Darling,  A grape shot is........................   uh, never mind.......

is ...what?!? My mind is furiously boggling here (you may even be able to hear it). Please explain before I burst something.

I dunno man...................I was trying to think of something............help me out here!

Phew!  The first thing that came to mind was that a 'grape shot' sounded like it might be the same sort of thing as a 'money shot' and an impressionable youngin' like myself should definitely not be having the sorts of thoughts that soon followed, especially not about grapes.

Huh? I don't even know what a money shot is....but it might be better if a sweet youngin' such as yourself didn't try to explain, Guido.

I would but I can't get those grapes out of my head. People are starting to wonder why I am blushing at work...

Grape Shot:


Ancient Egyptians believed the concord grape was the center of universal intelligence and emotion.

They also thought so little of the human brain that during mummification, they removed the brain entirely and filled it with grape jelly, aka 'grapeshot'.

He he he..............

[Bella]

Whats the point?

The point of getting up is that one never knows when something or someone unexpected is going to come along. Some sort of twist of fate that takes a totally crappy and useless day and turns it right around for you. A chance to spread chaos, a glimpse of something you want to turn into art, someone you wouldn't want to not see. If you don't get up you might miss it, dear.

You and my sister are terrible!
Making me cranky with your whispers.....and neither one of you will
tell me what you're talking about that's so damn secret.

Well, you did tell me not to try to explain to you what a money shot was. Anyway, I thought that was what sisters were supposed to be for.

P.S. we aren't whispering and it isn't secret. It also isn't very savoury.

Hmm......I assumed from the outset that it wasn't the least bit savory.

You believed me when I told you not to explain?  

PS: Sisters are for dropping on their heads.

No secrets here!  Move along now, nothing to see...............

Well... okaaay... here goes (in a hopefully child safe fashion): When a man and a woman who don't really love each other pretend to be very good friends because a man with too much jewellery is filming them and they get to that bit of the story just before the man falls into a magic deep sleep and then the man stands up in front of the woman and (can I use other euphemisms here?) tries to give her a pearl necklace (usually missing because he is so sleepy and so helping her to get pearly white teeth, nostrils, eyelids...) and the man with too much jewellery does a close up shot, that's called the money shot. Or so I've been told.

Now consider a grape shot.

Ohhhhhh!

I see.........................is it something like the story of Rumplestilsken?  He slept for 20 years you know.

P.S. You did a very good job of explaining....................you must have excellent parents!
