I Found The Answer!
« on: October 13, 2006, 04:21:14 AM »
Hey Everyone,

 Last night, as I was surfing around the internet I found the perfect answer to the age old question.  ::)


What to do when the wife says "No more Cannons in the House"

(I know what the normal first answer is but, that may cost you the cannons) :'(

So, here it is.... ;)








Honey, it's not a Cannon.... It's a Coffee Table..... :D :D

I alternate my mortars with my wife's dolls around our coffee table.  Pictures follow.

Or bookends if small enough.

I build a pop can -- Beer can mortor.  set it in the kitchen,  "Honey, launch me a cold one".  Maby we should refigure the powder charge!  Another idea,  cannon barrells going vertical,  Bet no one else in the county have that kind of bed post.

Just thinking out loud.  Rick

Dang Cannonmaker you beat me to the punch line.It would be good for a superbowl party,maybe some potato chip confetti.Also it would be good for cleaning up the mess after the game just pack some powder then all the trash and shoot it to the curb.
