WHY WE NEED GUYS ON HALLOWEEN
Without guys, there would be nobody to develop a gun that shoots candy.

Hmmm... I wonder if firing Nerds candies in this manner would approximate buckshot... The kids in my neighborhood have a lot to answer for. It took me an hour to get all the taco sauce off my windows.

Happy Halloweenie!!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 31, 2006 at 09:45 AM
Aw, man, no WAY do I have time to build that in time for tonight's little terrors.
Posted by: Clean Hands | October 31, 2006 at 09:45 AM
The duct tape proves this is a guy invention.

What's next? Spring loaded candy mines?
Where are my Pop Rocks and Dr. Pepper? Or my Mentos and Diet Coke?

I didn't need the gun to scare the kids away last night...I had this

step 4 The most important part.
Once you have built a 4 inch barrel potato gun, you will probably realize that pototoes are too small to touch the sides and you can't build any compression. Rutabegas work, but firing off 2 dozen of those gets expensive.
The R&D on this is amazing.
Posted by: slyeyes | October 31, 2006 at 10:05 AM
Punkin, you are totally wearing my work clothes, how did you get them, and you are wearing my hair. There must be a picture of me somewhere that you used as a model. :)
Posted by: kittypaws | October 31, 2006 at 10:07 AM
Aww Punkin! LOVE the hair & makeup...I dunno why the kiddies would be scared either.
great pic!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 31, 2006 at 10:07 AM
make-up?
Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 31, 2006 at 10:08 AM
kittypaws - We need to get on "What Not To Wear" pretty fast!
(Or "What Not To Die In")
Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 31, 2006 at 10:13 AM
I'll defer to Wyo and blurk, our resident gun experts, but I'm thinkin' a Tootsie Roll (TM thingy) going 1200 feet per second could be classified as a "dangerous projectile."
Posted by: Layzeeboy | October 31, 2006 at 10:13 AM
oops...my bad
er..you look LOVELY, Punkin. Really.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 31, 2006 at 10:15 AM
Careful Punkin, or you will poke an eye out...
Posted by: Chaz | October 31, 2006 at 10:16 AM
I'd say so. Shoot, my wife can make a hotcake into a dangerous projectile given the proper motivation.
so I found out.
once.

OTA:
Just received this joke.....
Two nuns are riding their bikes down the back streets of Rome .
One leans over to the other and says, "You know, I've never come this way before!"
The other nun whispers, "It's the cobblestones...."
_______________
Sorry.....couldn't resist. I'm all hopped up on Special Dark.

COMPLETELY OFF-TOPIC:
Last night in bed, I read the last chapter in "Boogers Are My Beat" (sniff) and my wife was reading from "Homes and Other Black Holes" and couldn't stop giggling. Also, my DVD of the "Guide to Guys" movie arrived yesterday. Anyway, the thought occured to me as I elbowed my wife for the third time, that I should share this with the blog.
Posted by: mudstuffin | October 31, 2006 at 10:22 AM
mud, I am almost done with Mars & Venus and Boogers are my Beat. Next up...Money Secrets.
Major snorkaging throughout!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 31, 2006 at 10:27 AM
punkin, just lovely. next year i'll send you my ritual robes and you can scare the living bejesus out of the little whippersnappers.
Posted by: wickedwitch | October 31, 2006 at 10:28 AM
Punkin, don't listen to these critcs. The natural look is always the best.
Back on topic:
Wyo, if the confetti cannon poved to be ineffective as a TP shooter, can we adapt this??????
Posted by: eeeek centrale | October 31, 2006 at 10:29 AM
LOL punkin, must be the "fall" look. :P
Posted by: DavetheRed | October 31, 2006 at 10:30 AM
We're workin' on it, eeeek. just gotta figure out how much wadding to use.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 31, 2006 at 10:32 AM
WW - Thanks for the offer, but I have my own. (Having been born in Salem, Mass, they give them to you in the delivery room)
Too bad I don't have a video camera - there was cool thunder & lightning coming from inside the house, and the garage was set up as a torture chamber with all the sounds of drills and chainsaws and people screaming in agony.
Just another night at Mr & Mrs Poo's house.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 31, 2006 at 10:36 AM
Hmm...I'm dressed up for Halloweenie...where's all you'se's costumes?? HUH?? HUH???
(not you eeeek c)
Posted by: Scary Siouxie | October 31, 2006 at 10:36 AM
I don't think you'd get a proper spin on the roll that way, EC. At some point here, I'll draw up and post my concept of the perfect TPeashooter™ for comment.
Posted by: Bloody Hands | October 31, 2006 at 10:37 AM
*Thinking that if solving the problem of Global Warming involved TP shooters, boogers or bazoombage, this blog could save the world*
Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 31, 2006 at 10:41 AM
*again - taking my mouse & keyboard & hiding under the desk from the noise*
Sioux, I'm all tarted up for Halloween, not in costume, but have anough holiday related attire to be the "spirit of Halloween," including bat flats!

Scary Sioux, I have the candy covered. Now watch, I'll get all of 3 trick-or-treaters. Oh well, more for the office vultures tomorrow.

*slaps ec with the tampon shooter*
GET A GRIP WOMAN!!!
course, for all I know this post will be time-stamped at 12:38 and she won't feel the slap till then.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 31, 2006 at 11:37 AM
Why is the person with all these tampons a guy? Just askin'.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | October 31, 2006 at 11:43 AM
Ow, I felt that, SS. Not fair, i had my back turned!
And yeah, server is a tad bit sluggish this AM.
Layzee, gee, ya' thank????
Posted by: eeeek centrale | October 31, 2006 at 11:50 AM
Also, I assume that the model is the developer. if those hairy arms are a woman's, her costume is set as Chewbacca or a werewolf.
Posted by: eeeek centrale | October 31, 2006 at 11:53 AM
I'm not sure the model is the developer. The same site features tampon heart earrings (i'm not gonna post a link: for one thing it would be a cut and paste, and for another they're way too disurbing), and the model for those is definitely female.
Posted by: Beth | October 31, 2006 at 11:58 AM
Perhaps, but you'll notice that it's a girl shooting it.
Posted by: Dr. Doug | October 31, 2006 at 12:04 PM
Beth,
Can you imagine ANY scenario, where you would wear something like that, the earring, of course?!?
ec
Posted by: eeeek centrale | October 31, 2006 at 12:05 PM
I don't know. maybe if I was going icefishing or deer hunting or something similar I would wear them under a hat with earflaps to secretly counterract the testosterone.
Posted by: Beth | October 31, 2006 at 12:09 PM
Okay, I went back & looked again. Do NOT make me do this once more. The shooter is definitely a guy; look at those arms. And look closely at the earring photo, that skin has never been exfoliated; & you call that a haircut!?!
