Damn I'm so old school... My t-shirt cannon doesn't have a quick reloader. :(
Well that'll certainly improve the rate at which I can get dressed of a morninng....

are endless!
"This unit includes everything you need to launch soft items further and faster. The 2? X 23? PVC holds big surprises for your audience and creates lots of attention. Other soft items besides your rolled up T-Shirts are Nerf Balls, Puff Balls, confetti, streamers, advertising leaflets, hot dogs, feathers, SnoBiz® or other snow flake products, rose pedals, balloons (uninflated), etc."
I was just thinking to myself the other day... wouldn't it be nice if I could pull these hot dogs and brats off of the grill and launch them onto a plate in the house?
Didn't Maud Flanders teach us that shooting T-Shirts can be deadly?
When I die I hope FANdumanium will do a 21 T-Shirt Salute.
News for nerds, stuff that matters! Stuff like 64-bit cpus and the matrix and.... t-shirt.. launching?
At just $1,400 this thing is a steal. Now I can launch all of those t-shirts I've wanted to hurl...wait a second..WTF do I need this for again.
I'll just stick to my good old spudlauncher (http://www.idahospudfire.com/main.htm)

HOT DOGS?
Is that really how you want your hot dog served to you?

They use these things all the time a kings games. Though personally I prefer the old method where they'd have to scantly clad girls hold one of those slingshot gizmos while the mascot loaded a t-shirt and shot it into the crowd. It didn't have the range but damn-it looks are important. ;-)
I know I'm going to hell, I'm just trying to get good seats.
This will simplify doing my laundry. Instead of washing my shirts, I can blow them over the fence into my neighbor's yard. Or across the street. At 160' range, I can probably fling them over the freeway. How wide is a freeway?
I wonder if I can use this for my old socks as well? That would be handy.
What if life is just a side effect of some other process and God has no idea we exist?

Dear Dr. Zaius,
Regarding the new devices we uncovered... I see these as the perfect tool in which to launch nets to catch those pesky humans. While the original design was not intended for this we believe it will be trivial to adjust the units.
Current technologies are begining to waiver in effectiveness and just last week we had one rude human scream out some babble along the lines of "You damned dirty apes".
Thanks,
Dr. Itchy

put me in the shirt when I'm shot with it(like the Jetsons) then you would have something. Nothing like getting dressed in .5 seconds.

Good lord, they've come up with something worst than browser pop-ups...
(yeah the hot dogs would hurt too).
But it IS new!
And improved!
Says so right there!

It occurred to me that the launching tube is made out of PVC. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't PVC pipe usually used for drainage applications, and thus not suited for high-pressures? And thus, couldn't the pipe (theoretically) shatter and explode? I certainly wouldnt want to be holding that thing anywhere near my crotch when it fires...

Oh, how I wish I had Maude points right now... ;)

So let me get this straight... a frog (a soft, squishy animal) was shot out of a potato gun, and broke a kid's face (a hard, bony face).
Here's what I want to know: what did the frog look like?
