I finished sending a text message and authorised the
Paypal transaction, then cracked open the office window
and sat back at my desk, leaving a small LASER
designator
on the window sill.
Far below, I heard a whooshing sound.
Moments later, with a couple of pigeon feathers clinging
to
the wrapper, a footlong sub came in through the window,
glancing off the window mullion and landing in front of
my
computer. Perfect! Pepperoni, artichokes, mozzarella,
tomatoes, kalamata olives and radicchio leaves. Yum!
Sure, it took a little to set up your exact location and to
get the trajectory perfect on windy days but it was a cool
way to collect your lunch.
Sometimes I liked to watch as the multiple orders were
launched from the street corner, in a rapid salvo, by the
lunch lady, Leeshya, who
learned her artillery skills as a trainer on BM-27 units in
Chechnya, for the Russian military.

...closing the window and settling back to enjoy his
sandwich, [Ubie] was blissfully unaware that one of
his many friends was ordering him a couple of rounds
of high-velocity Coke. |

This feels very familiar. |

I did something like it in about 2003 or 2004, I think,
[2 fries]. |

Catapults, no trebuchets... and a little oriental dude maybe? |

Sounds familiar. I think it was "Lunch Launch Site" or
something like that. Fruit stall, with an air cannon. |

If you took an existing cargo round design, and replaced the
grenades with small packages of high- energy food, and
launched from a high- end MLRS, then the cargo could just
about clear the 80-odd kilometres of contested airspace
which currently separate the hungry garrison of Mariupol
from the nearest friendly forces. |

Suggested payloads include Salo (Ukrainian pork-fat dish),
and Kendal Mint Cake, fluttering down on little parachutes. |
