The practical applications for this device...

[phreak404]

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?

When Will We Learn

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.

Eh?

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?

"Other soft items besides your rolled up T-Shirts are Nerf Balls, Puff Balls, confetti, streamers, advertising leaflets, hot dogs, feathers..."

HOT DOGS?

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

Sling shot was better.

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. ;-)

Excellent Uses Not Intended In The Original Design

[Cylix]

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

I doubt it, but if you pointed it at the ground and jumped you could do a Shirt-Propelled Jump.
