Somebody get alsmith on the horn. I wonder if the poor guy is still trying to dig out them varmints? I read this article today and thought of him immediately:

I did a search and unearthed (chuckle) the old thread, but it was massive and had been shut down so as not to implode the board the next time it was brought up. I wonder if anyone has alsmith’s email so we can let him know?
alsmith has since become the redoubtable Scylla. I’m sure he’ll be along shortly.
Somehow the phrase “propane ignites the oxygen” fills me with misgivings, though.
By George this does seem promising, doesn’t it!

I’m currently downloading a clip of this bad boy in action.
Why spend $1,400? I have propane. I have oxygen. I have a match.
Oh, no. Scylla’s gonna blow himself up. DON’T DO IT SCYLLA!! Don’t kill yourself trying to take down the Groundhogs! LET IT GO, MAN!
if it involves pyrotechnics it’s fine by me-- do what you need to do, Scylla!!!
P.S.----- That thread is the thread that made me join the boards, and kept me laughing for weeks.
Scylla, old sport, you are going to burn down your happy home and cancel out you fire insurance, all at the same time. Mark my words; this will end in tears.
Looks like fun, though. Do it at night.
Scylla, do you have a video camera?
You have got to tape this for us, for…uhh…scientific study. Yeah, that’s it.
If I lived close enough, I’d come help. 
And this is the humane way to kill them.
Scylla you shouldn’t try that yourself. Hire a local teenager to blow himself up.
What about going in on it with a couple other farmers, Scylla? It would alievate the entire cost off of you, and that way the entire town can live in fear, instead of just your immediate neighbors.
Looks great, but what language does the instructions writer speak?
Here’s to many a dead gopher.
Ad Noctum – yeah, when I resurrected the old thread, I had to reread it and laugh all over again. That old thread had me in stitches again - har!
Hey, Scylla, I checked out the Rodex link you provided, and clicked on their “testimonials” link looking for some gruesome stories, but there were none there. Dead men tell no tales?
I think you should hire the teenager as suggested, call the producers of “Jackass,” and have them pony up the $1,400 and pay you a filming fee as part of the bargain. Might as well make some money out of the spectacle, and then we can all watch it on MTV.
