Burning off your eyebrows and half of the hair on your head isn't exactly something to be bragging about.
i think its plenty to be proud of. you haven't lived till you drink a pint of tequila then about blow yourself up. and believe me i've played with propane before. but i like the simplicity of a aerosol cannon. some one always has fuel for it somewhere.
My immaginary friend doesn't like you, and he controlls my trigger finger.

Indeed,
I actually find my more complex cannons not that fun to shoot, while my basic spray and pray cannons are a blast
