Hoisted with/by one's own petard means that one is destroyed by the very device with which one meant to destroy others.

Do it Roddy, do it!

I see it now, how to use 'find' function. Good illustrations -- both of them (petard and sword)

Now the question is... Just how will Josh campaign ( cause we know he's gonna do it) and more importantly just who is he going to try and play? Can we say.... DANIELLE!! He's already told her that she doesn't have a chance in hell in this game and that bothered her. He saw that weakness in her. He will go to her for sympathy and then spin his web. She's too paranoid in this game as far as I'm concerned. She may take his bait. This time around though she's gonna have a little trouble trying to control the vote her way. Marcellus HATES Josh but can be pursuaded. Jason has already VOWED to Roddy he won't vote him out this time and Lisa wants Josh gone and she doesn't need to decieve Lisa at this point. She's got her on her side when it comes time to get rid of both Roddy and Chiara. Gerry is real iffy and will go where the wind blows as long as it blows in his directioin. She may need to accept that this time she isn't gonna get Roddy out.

From dictionary.com

pe·tard Pronunciation Key (p-tärd)
n.
A small bell-shaped bomb used to breach a gate or wall.
A loud firecracker.

------------------------------------------------
[French pétard, from Old French, from peter, to break wind, from pet, a breaking of wind, from Latin pditum, from neuter past participle of pdere, to break wind. See pezd- in Indo-European Roots.]
Word History: The French used pétard, “a loud discharge of intestinal gas,” for a kind of infernal engine for blasting through the gates of a city. “To be hoist by one's own petard,” a now proverbial phrase apparently originating with Shakespeare's Hamlet (around 1604) not long after the word entered English (around 1598), means “to blow oneself up with one's own bomb, be undone by one's own devices.” The French noun pet, “fart,” developed regularly from the Latin noun pditum, from the Indo-European root *pezd-, “fart.”

If Gerry wants to be safe, he better get that Veto. Roddy better get himself or Chiara to get Veto if he wants to make sure that Josh stays in the hotseat. If the other HG's want to break their word in a smart way, they'd better get the Veto and use it.

Tomorrow will be a verrry interesting day.

Feeds just went to FOTH. But right b4, Roddy said to Josh, "You're talking about it!" in a nice way, then he says, "You know what I'm thinking..." FOTH.

You know, what if Roddy gets the veto and decides to save Josh? WOW, that would be such a great twist. Then, Chi puts in one of the other four, Ja, Mar, Li, or Ger. They decide, let's pool our votes and evict Roddy 'cause, this sux. Hmmm..

Roddy, always the gameplayer. I don't believe for a MINUTE that the wheels in his mind aren't spinning.

AHEM: Listen up. A "petard" is a "metal cone filled with explosives, fastened in ancient warfare to walls and gates and exloded to force an opening." Websters. Sounds like Josh' early plan of action this evening. However, "hoist on one's own petard" means destroyed boy the very devices with which one meant to destroy others. Hamlet. Roddy? You listening?

ROTFLMAO!!!! Oh shoot! I was just reading Amac's description of petard (which I actually knew what it sorta). I'm dying here... And how freakin' appropriate is that!

Roddy is blowing himself up with his own hot gas!!!

Dusting off my BoS and altar box...

Thanks Amac!

Roddy destroyed by a fart? Well...I've called Josh a lot of things but to call him a fart is kinda mean. Oh wait. By his OWN fart. That makes more sense.

If Roddy actually saved Josh, not only would he be arrogant, he'd be insane. No, he needs to make sure it stays the way it is...or he's probably going to be a dead man.

You know what really sucks? I decided to forgo working out right after work, so that I could be home at 5pm to see who got nom'd! And then, with the little ole explosion afterwards, and all this scintillating conversation, now it'll be too late (the place where I work out closes at 7pm).

So I can't suck mud, Goddess! Too many calories for a nonworkout day!

P.S. Laughed out loud so hard at Amac's def and Wcv's same thought as mine, that I scared the kitty on my lap; she got up, turned around and gave me one heckuva dirty look, and walked outta the room.

Someone mentioned that Lisa and Dani have agreed to vote out rod. Thats not true. They were looking at the bigger picture if they kept Roddy. Lisa is hella pissed at Josh so I'm leaning towards a Josh boot at this point. Dani NEEDS lisa's trust in the future and she may not want to cancel Lisa's vote out by voting the oposite of her. I know Dani would prefer to see Roddy go but I think she is sitting back seeing where the trend is headed first before she says anything. To me the trend seems to suggest get rid of Josh. We shall see. Personally, I'd have to get rid of the better mind player and that is Roddy. Then his house lover and then go after Josh. Sorry but I think for half a million I could handle him.

Feed 3: Chi and Lisa talking. Chi is talking about how she voted for her eviction, why she voted, etc. Certainly sounds like back peddling. LOL!
