Yes.
EDIT: Btw I was thinking about doing a video similar with spud cannons and chicks. That would be cool IMO Because a big cannon might make her bounce more than that pea shooter in the video. :wink: 8)

That's a cool video MrC.
I was thinking of something similar only with a bigger cannon , and instead of shooting potatoes she could have larger melons (or some idea similar) :wink:

That one sure looks a little like an advertisement and it's interesting that if we had a large enough group that type of advertisement/ scene would inevitably be around. Btw That's a cool double barrel cannon in the vid. !

Point taken, but I felt that he didn't realize how grave the situation was and how bad it could have been. Which goes back to your statement about adults missing in their child's life.

Meh, It sure doesnt seem like that. I do go to a New england Prep school as well, and well, According to facebook junk im rated relatively high on the "desirability" scale so mabey im just missing the point of their visits..... thats my only explanation, but to be honest, I DO NOT agree with stupid facebook polls......

Mabey they actually do enjoy it. Wich would be kinda cool..........

(dreams of date)
me- "wanna go shoot spuds?"
girl "YEAH! Ill grab my new one!!!"

(thinks of what really would happen)
me- "Wanna go shoot spuds?"
Girl- "Lets go see Disney on Ice!"

Apart from the obvious exception, I too tend to find that the girls are a little bit worried about my cannons - actually, to be far, the guys usually are as well, although I have introduced a couple to the hobby - not that seriously though, they're mostly on spray'n'prays and BV pneus.

I suppose it might be a little unnerving to some people... I mean, nobody expects anything of a potato, and then it rearranges metal items.

@VH_Man: Apparently, I'm only 33% normal, according to one of those weird facebook things. What the other 67% of me is doing, I have no idea - being as zany as possible I hope.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

You do not learn that is is "fun to do bad things" That is a personal decision.
while I never had that attitude, IMO it is no different than my past personal decisions to disregard common sense hazmat and think about the safety of those around me, and that only by many 'acts of God' am I still here minus the small children. :twisted:
Not funny but that almost happened.

I wouldn't say he knew that he could kill someone, he said he did, but maybe he never saw a dead body before :shock:

Yeah but what does that have to do with Jessica here?

BTW I was thinking we could alter this video so it looks like an e-mail to yourself and if your girlfriend gets mad that you spend too much time on spud related activities you could say yeah but Jessica is interested in them and she's been e-mailing me a lot
(but I never respond of course)!!!

I don't see why not. Although, a twin barrel like that video is just two spray combustions put together, which isn't all that difficult to do.

I just hope this thread doesn't start on the same direction as the previous thread with that video. :roll:

Well the interesting thing to me (and for you statistics guys), That's the first female spudder I've heard of here.

Which would mean 100% of female spudders...

= If you see a female with a spud cannon LOOK OUT!!! :lol:
Your pretty new to the site then. We got our own female spudder Joannardway (I think thats it). She left the site to go travelling for a bit.
Raise your horns if you love metal.
spudgunning is like sex, once you've tasted, you can't wait til next time.
