The link you gave, I think, is one of my favorite sifts of all time.

I don't wanna sound cruel, but I couldn't help laughing my ass off when they actually showed a clip of squirrel being shot at.

That's something what idiots like me woulda done with my farm friends from upstate New York with a BB gun.

Awesome link dude. Thank you SOOO MUCH. I'm still pissing my pants as we speak.

Funny this is in the first Fallout the most powerful gun for the first half the game was the Red Ryder BB Gun Special Edition that you could get through a random special encounter.

Never played Fallout, but Wasteland... oh my God I loved that game. Still remember getting a case of Space Herpes after visiting the three-legged prostitute at the local brothel. That, and "earning" the most powerful weapon in the game, the Red Ryder BB, gun by killing all the kids on the playground in the first town. Good times.

Never could finish it though. There was some puzzle at the end where you're supposed to input some sequence into a computer or something but I could never figure out what the proper sequence was. Whatever the clue was, it was too obscure for me to figure out at the time.

GO CHEERLEADERS!!

While it is true that tasers don't always kill people, we can always work to improve those stats.

We used to shoot each other with BB guns and usually laugh about it. So hey, SuPER SOUND LOGIC THERE pro-para militarization of our peace officers.

... you and your brothers huh? guns and samurai swords and kung fu?

Well they were BB guns, unsharpened display katanas, and I wouldn't call what we did kung fu, but yah: scars.

We weren't what you would call, "supervised."

That's like attaching a BB gun to an assault rifle.
But maybe this bear is interested in more than his combat prowess.

Was a kid when these toys were big, some of em, but always stuck with green army men, flammable liquids bb-guns, that sort of stuff....

You can always use this an excuse for shooting your eye out with a Red Ryder BB gun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Christmas_Story

And if I am not mistaken that will bring these festivities to a close, unless anyone else has something truly biting and horrible to say.

It was a really goot natured roast, and it was a pretty fun read. So let's recap:

Dag is a party pooper with "Raper" wit... I am not sure you should tell anyone about that.

Choggie still has the mutant power to make anyones eyes glaze over like yellow mustard gas with inane rambling about his latest fancy pants topic.

Karaidl... well you're just a big fat butterball.

Dotdude likes being fashionably late... as in 24 hours fashionably late. Must be hard to get re-invited to parties on New Years eh?

and last but not least MycroftHomlz... thanks for being a good sport, and thank you for your litte pathetic attempts at comebacks. It was like watching an 8 year-old with a bb-gun storming Normandy beach.

Now the question on everybody else's mind... is who's next?

The reason that the bb gun was enough to make it explode was that the compression from the sticky tape made it possible for a couple of them going off to detonate all of it. If you watch the slow motion portion you can see the top of the ball, and it was pretty clearly not destroyed. My guess would be that the top was not taped down well enough and was ejected by the chaos below.

Hmm. I'm not yelling "fake", but I don't think a BB gun could generate the force required.

When they said "BB gun" I had my doubts. But that was a hell of a bang!
Cheesy music, though.

Had that happen with a BB gun when I filled a one liter bottle with water and food coloring to make it "bleed"... dumb 10 year old. Nothing like watching an object coming dead center to your head back at you. Seemed like slo-motion as I recall.

Aww, Dustin... he was practically begging people to hold him back. You know what they say... shotgun mouth, bb-gun ass.

Screech would have dusted him.

"I can't see!"

Hey boys and girls, wanna have some real fun???? Cheap fun?? Explosive fun??

You will need:

1 can of starting fluid (ether)
1 newspaper
a lighter
some wire, any will do

wrap the can of ether with the news paper and the wire
light fuse (newspaper) from the bottom with the can poised someplace interesting, or in a wide open area, then, get futher away than these youngsters did with their toy.....a lot further

if you dont want to wait on the paper fuse, a candle and a bb gun, will make you look like ol' Morpheus, when he unloads into the bottom of the albino twins' Mercedes
