I keep seeing TV shows about people who build contraptions to launch pumkins as far as possible. Why can't we have a cat launching contest using the same machines? Shove a cat into a tube and apply 3000 PSI air and see how far he goes! We could have a grand finale where we use an oversized launcher and see how far PETA people can travel. You know they would attend the event to protest, so why not launch a few to show that we are equal opportunity launchers!

The contestants had all kinds of names painted on their launchers. I would call mine the Ultimate Pussy
Pumper.

No need to !

Just get a pumpkin launcher , hollow out a pumpkin , insert cat , duct tape on top and launch .

Rummer has it that the blood red filled pumpkin will still fly over a 1000'.

I didn't see the launch , but the splattered pumpkin had a fur coat inside .

That might explain the permanent smile on the goat.....

Isn't the goat actually one of those Klipspronger antilopes?

In truth I should have said 'Do I have to wear anything under my kilt.', but having lept into the chasm as it were...

The Klipspronger Clan of the McGhoatish Tribe came to a position of influence on the Scottish Coast not too many years after the passing of the great William Wallace. They were noted for several things long lost to history in the broad sweep of pub-lick education. Masters of the Pan Flute, Cheese masters beyond compare, Oral surgery(they invented braces), and last but not least, debauchery on a level noted in the Palace Records of the Ming Dynasty(right after the chapter on crat recipies). One of the lessor know facts was their proclivity for spronging(hence the clan name) into bed without notice or social foreplay, to pounce upon unsuspecting pussies without regard to race, religion, sexual preference, color or political persuasion. Therein be tails too sinful to disclose...but if you have an active imagination and a healthy appetite... It can be noted that those descendants of the Clan ususally can be found with full bellies and happy wenches by their side.

And they say real men don't wear skirts errrr... kilts.

Digital Dan,

Some of that clan must have made it to Ireland
and taught my kin how to have fun. When in
Ireland don't kiss the Blarney Stone. The locals
think it makes a good urinal. I guess that's
where the "salt of the earth" comes from. It is
just filterd Guinness.

Horsie manure! The only Scots that kept goats were the ones who had been overrun by the Icelanders too many times. If my highland ancestors had been literate(history was written by the bloody lowlanders) then the true history of Scotland would be out there in all of it's real glory! It might not have been,uh, unembellished, but it would have been glorious!!! derfie

Derf is right, real highlanders dealt in cattle, and later sheep(see the highland clearances) Cattle raising, and err, rustling is a grand old tradition in the highlands, second only in popularity to bootlegging!

This has for the most part gone to the wayside since the the 45 uprising, and later the industrial revolution.

With regard to those devices using a barrel and compressd air, Some questions if you please.

When loading crats into the tube, I assume that from the muzzel they go in tail first. If true is it necessary to plug their....'aft vent' as it were, is it possible to get 'blow by' if you don't. Or do you count on a little blow by and the subsequent inflation of said crat to acheive a better gas seal? Is it a normal practice to duct tape the legs together so that upon exit of the tube they don't 'flail about' reducing BC? Do you need to add length to the tail for stability in flight, or is the standard issue crat tail sufficient? I'm sure there are other critical issues to tend to but these come to mind right off. Perhaps others will inquire............

Muffin

I stand by my story.

Muffin, the 'aft vent' remains open upon loading, most do it head first. In the event of aft loading the result is "Blow Thru", not blow by. Or is it Blow Bye? BC is of secondary concern, hangtime being the essential issue. That and the terminal phase, if you get my drift. Actually videos have much more impact(Gawd, I love that word!) when the crats flail about in flight, so we don't tape them up either. Welding gloves are recommended for loading, and a stout shove with the ramrod too.

Bye the Bye, did you see Special's target? Thought you might have an interest in that.

HTRN, our ancestors did not "rustle" cattle, that is an American tradition. Nope, our ancestors merely traded without permission! They traded cattle from one band and then that band traded with another. It all evened out in the end except for the big get togethers where the neighbours were fed their own beef, hence the term, "I got a beef with you"! derf
