New Modroc term for EMRR.

If I am not mistaken, I believe there is no current term either slang or otherwise for this: To launch every rocket in your inventory i.e.: Kitchen Sink.

My kids and I are planning on launching this Sunday and they asked "What are we launching?"

Instead of replying with, "Everything" I just said "Kitchen Sink" as in "Everything BUT the kitchen sink."

Maybe this could be a new trend...Maybe this is an old tradition somewhere and has a name attached to it already. I do not know. We could start having "Kitchen Sink" launches. This could be tough for one of these folks I see in TRF that advertise having 20+ rockets.

If you look hard on Semroc's site, you can find the "Kitchen Sink" offered (tounge firmly in cheek) for $1000.

So I assume you submitted it

Well, erm...no. Not yet. I just thought I would put up this thread to see if there is already a term slang or not that was already out there.

Ok...Since you asked that question that way I submitted it. So here it is:

"To launch every flyable rocket in one's inventory at a single event or within the span of one day. Usually results in or is the result of launch happiness. "

Example of how to use term in conversation:

I used to be able to Kitchen Sink, but I have way too many rockets now....that would be a lot of motors for a single launch day!

I've been back into rocketry just over three years and the day that I had JUST 20 rockets, went by awhile ago.

OK...The term I whimsically made up a few days ago is now in the EMRR's glossary. You guys rock. Unfortunately I was not able to kitchen sink today due to the high winds and lack of B motor's for the Big Bertha and the Eagle boost glider.

I liked EMRR before but now I am a huge fan.

i have way to much rockets to kitchen sink it would take a day just putting the rockets on the launch pad.

I have way too many to launch in one day.

I got back into rocketry almost two years ago and I had 14 or 15 flyable rockets left over from the 60's & 70's. That's before I even started making new ones.

I don't know how many I've added since then but it's got to be at least 1 - 2 a month. Even with the occasional loss to the Rocket Eating Trees or the ones that just drift away, I must have close to 50, maybe more.

Now I'm going to have to count them. I should probably put them in a spreadsheet since I keep notes of all my launches. That way I can figure out which ones I launch the most and on what motors.

I most rockets I have ever launched in one day is 27 so that's only about half of them.

Hi Bob,

could you imagine the weeks it would take a guy like Bob Kaplow to kitchen sink ?



I myself have rockets from the 70s and 80s still skattered about, even back at the old family homestead I'd have to dig out from the archives. (old rooms upstairs)

OK, we need a term then to fly everything you have in inventory from the last (insert time period here)

In the fashion of the 21st century language butchers (i.e.: a noun: Google; converted to a verb: to google;
as in "I googled 'rocket' and I . . .) and you are discussing your launch prowess on a previous occasion, would you say,
"I kitchen sinked yesterday and only lost one!" or would it be, "I kitchen sunked yesterday and only lost one!"?

Such a conundrum.

What hath he created?

Take care,

If that little act did this to your attitude, just think what participating in the 2006 EMRR Challenge is going to do to ya...

... better yet, please don't participate. I can have your demise due to excitement overload on my conscious.
