*passing the local tv station truck with its extendable dish raised high, and a wire wrapping around it, making it look... sproingy*

Lee: put a hamster up there and pull back, you could launch it into low earth orbit
Alice: but, you like hamsters. You want to get rid of raccoons
L: true. But they are larger and heavier - they wouldn't get into orbit, they'd be sub-orbital
A: and land, lightly scorched, in...?
L: Russia, depending on where we aim
A: so Russia is over-run with smoking raccoons? cool
L: Maybe, if we dipped them in barbeque sauce, the sauce would caramelize as they sizzled through the atmosphere, making a crunchy protective shell?
A: it would crack on impact though
L: releasing the overheated but now protected raccoons into Russia

*a moment of reverent silence*
*Lee, unable to keep from voicing her grudge*

L: with the credit cards from my wallet they stole, they could continue to order solid but cheap tools that are made in Korea but sold through Home Depot, and create a new kind of DIY havoc on the Russian populace. Think of the garbage bin openers, the barbecue grill food extractors, the other random things they could make!
A: *reminiscing snerk* sub-orbital raccoons!
