if you don't have to be a potato clock...

...you should definitely get a potato gun.



much thanks to lee and luke for gettin' hitched with one of these to turn me on to them.

40 bucks and well under an hour later a new and dangerous toy was born.

this is exactly the reason mary is so unwilling to travel for work anymore.

some energy was spent fussing with the electronic ignition, which should be set into the chamber rather than along its side as near as I can figure.

christian and greg were instrumental in the destruction, today I will struggle with "what next?" and hopefully waste my friday night setting about to gettin' to it.

note to self: shooting a wad of toilet paper wrapped lightly/partially with electrical tape is ALMOST safe enough for shooting at each other.



one last thing I should add:

we fired this off for 45 minutes in front of our building with absolutely no problems from the cops, which is kind of amazing given the volume of the thing - of course the cops did only tell the kids beating the shit out of each other with baseball bats to stop fighting and leave the area so what should I expect?
