Screw a potato gun, I want a pumpkin cannon. Click for full-res picture
I stopped by the grocery store yesterday to pick up a few things for dinner. I ended up running into an old friend that I haven’t seen in years. We were talking and he was telling me how he has been crossbreeding pumpkins for the past 7-8 years and they are finally starting to turn out. He mentioned he was on the cover of his local paper recently and I was hoping a google search would turn up the article. It didn’t, but it did turn up The World Champion Punkin Chunkin. You have to go to the gallery page and look at these contraptions. Nothing short of spectacular.

No, but I did watch the starwars holiday special once. (Basically after it aired, it was disowned by Lucas and never shown again) Its pretty fuckin lame nuts. It stars wookies, is set on the wookie home planet (Yes the majority of the time its just a bunch of wookies roaring back and forth) and revolves around han solo getting chewbacca back in time to celebrate lifeday with his family. And it also showcases a number of musical acts. I don’t suggest ever watching this TV special in a state that is even close to being sober. You need hard booze or hard drugs to make it endurable.

wow, that sounds like gouge-my-eyes-out theater. i downloaded the vegatable wars… not too exciting, but a lot of work on the creators behalf. To make a 9 minute stop-frame is a lot of work. i give him props for that. it’s cute.
