Well... we can't shoot Mexicans as they come across the border, and you can't drag a black person behind your truck anymore without the media making a big freaking deal about it. So, we've gotta get our fun somewhere.
Earlier this summer, a buddy and I met some dudes he knew out on someone's property, far enough into the boonies that nobody would care about us testing some of the fireworks we were gonna use for a display on the 4th. One of these guys brought what he called a "cannon," which was really just a thick-walled steel cylinder, maybe 10" tall, which he would pack with gunpowder to shoot things into the air. First thing he tried to launch was a bowling ball, and he let my buddy light it. I was standing maybe 100 feet away, and I could still feel some of the pressure wave from the explosion. My friend didn't run quite fast enough, and got pelted in the ass with bowling ball shrapnel. Good times.
And thgat ^ is why the Wisconsin deer hunting regulations state that "It is illegal to hunt deer using poisoned or exploding arrows."
So.....you're saying we won't see you on MythBusters anytime soon? Come on...break that color barrier!
