PVC with WD-40 (or hairspray) in the L-joint at the bottom as a propellent? Nope, I have no idea about those things or how they work. 😃 ---

I’m taking advantage as my position as Eastmost Mumper, to say HAPPY \*\*NAVA \*\*DAY!!! (yes, I know it’s not March 13 even in Spain yet. It’s March 13 **here** , and I need some sleep! Deal.) ---

Yes **Spidey** a variation of that would be what I am referring to. At one time I had a goal of sending a 1lb projectile 1 mile, fortunately I remembered the BATF before I built it. **Jim** ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > I can’t find pics of how to shoot barbie dolls with a potato cannon. > _Dammit._ A potato cannon isn’t going to be accurate enough; you’ll go through a lot of potatoes. You’d probably want to use a wrist rocket instead. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > I can’t find pics of how to shoot barbie dolls with a potato cannon. > _Dammit._ Load, Aim, Ignite; whaddya need pics of??? **Cap’n** , a truly wonderful guvmint beuracracy the BATF is. Some guvmint agencies can be permanantly sequestered but not the BATF as they answer important pairing questions like, “I’m smoking \_\_\_\_\_ & shooting \_\_\_\_\_\_, can you recommend some booze to go with them?” 😃 Stoopit Verizon update - they replaced the speech-to-text button with one that let’s me use my finger like a crayon to ‘draw’ letters. :mad: I think it’s time to root my phone. ---

No, no, you put Barbie \*in \*the potato cannon and propel her _out_ of it. Sometimes she’s on fire, which is really, really cool! Not that I’ve done that. Just heard about it. ---

The soup was _gooooooooooood!_ And there’s plenty left over, so I have lunch for tomorrow. Yay! 😃 I just got back from a run to CVS to pick up my drugs. Back when I started taking Lipitor, it was $90+, then over $100 for a 90-day supply (my copay.) Today, it was just under $21 - yay for generics! 😃 I also stopped at Food Lion to get some more cottage cheese, since my last batch went funky on me. I grabbed some nanners for my sweetie, too. After my purchases were rung up, as I stood there with cash money in my hands, the clerk asked (twice!) “Debit or credit?” I’m pretty sure I just stared at him for a few seconds before saying “I think I’ll pay cash.” Yeah, dude, that’s what this paper in my hands is… :rolleyes: Time to assume the position. Hope I can sleep thru tonight. Three bad nights in a row is not fun. ---

The cats have stolen my E-cig goop bottle (under the couch) the quart size dog treat jar (Ginny was caught pushing it across the floor with her nose) and one of my black tennis shoes, which is still MIA. ---

Careful where you leave the car keys. Looks like they’re getting ready for a road trip. ---

Oh why dinja say you wanted to do THAT. The problem is that a lot of the propellant will go around Barbie, causing her to not be propelled too far. Two options: either put a disk under her feet (human-cannonball style) or shove her in a spud! 😃 ---

If the cats escaped with the potato gun then we have the makin’s of a national crisis! :eek: I used to have a potato gun. I also had one that shot rolled bandages up to 50 feet away. Fun! I have it on good authority that a Ken doll will blow up real good if you shove a firecracker in him. [sup]He had it comin’. He was a Commie spy so GI Joe had no other recourse, not that my sister believed that.[/sup] I think it’s time to go lie upon the bed and watch teevee until sleepy time. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

I have a swab that I use to clean my clarinets. It’s a piece of cloth on a long string with a small metal weight at the other end of the string. Before I got a proper bedroom door, I had a door that didn’t close properly, and one of my cats would sometimes go into my room, steal my swab, and bring it upstairs. :rolleyes: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-really-bad-cookies-and-other-stuff-mmp/652625.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-really-bad-cookies-and-other-stuff-mmp/652625.md?page=8)
