DUDE! Everybody should have one of these.



This guy
built his own flamethrower, then went out in the street to test it! I'm sure the folks in my neighborhood would just love it if I did that. But then again, what do you say to a guy holding a fucking flamethrower?? I know I could build it, I doubt I could ever use it. Its basically the same thing as a confetti cannon I once constructed for a certain stage act, but instead of shooting out paper, it shoots denatured alcohol. Yummy. I think I would have added a thickening agent to make the alcohol a little more viscous and clingy. Someone please stop me before I do something bad.

In other constructive/destructive news, I found two really cool and over the top websites all about spudguns, or as I always knew them, "potato cannons". These guys have taken it way beyond my length of PVC and can of Aqua Net. Of course these are intended for safe and responsible use in an area away from people and animals. And you should NEVER use a spudgun to launch a projectile intended as a weapon. Now why would I want to do that???
Give www.spudtech.com and www.advancedspuds.com a look-see for all the fantastic details.

I think once I'm done with the camera housing project I will use some of my accumulated PVC pipe and glue to make one or both of these devices.

Also check out onlineconversion.com for any kind of unit conversions you may find necessary in completing a project.

As a side note, as much as I love wrong tshirts, if I find the person responsible for this shirt design I intend to punch him/her squarely in the mouth.
