My weapon of choice is the potato.

Oh yes, Old Bean, we all know about you and the "potato" of the fermented variety.



The "potato" fortifies the soul and the bottle is a nice bludgeoning instrument.

Do you think he fires entire potatoes.

Yes.

I first built a basic model out of off-the-shelf PVC plumbing, with a piezo-electric igniter, powered by AquaNet hairspray.

I bevel-cut the muzzle to auto-trim/form the potato.

It would shoot a spud 1500 feet easily, take out a car windshield at 75 feet (90 degree impact), and, if you shoot it after dusk, you could see two foot flame at the muzzle.

I still have it in the back of the closet.

Quite a bit of fun; moreso when combined with even minimal quantities of apple.

I smell a comeback:


If you've ever taken a beer to a job interview, you might be a redneck.

If your family tree does not branch, you might be a redneck

But most importantly, if you have ever constructed a weapon from off-the-shelf PVC plumbing, with a piezo-electric igniter and powered by AquaNet hairspray for the sole purpose of putting out car windows with a starchy tuber......You might be a redneck!

Yeah, but Jeff hires his done.

I can build them myself.

Oh no, no, no. With my Irish heritage the potato is for eating purposes only.

T&#39;Apple, that&#39;s the lad you want to ferment.

The Irish potato famine, probably a big reason I am an American, not an a citizen of the UK.

As for people coming to my front door, it simply explodes on contact.

This seems very reasonable to me although neighbours might complain about the body parts deposited on their lawns.

I assume it would be considered absolutely out of order to biff any one with a bald eagle.

How often do you see someone with a bald eagle.

Think it through man, don&#39;t just jump in.
