Right in my backyard

[Anthony]

This is how my neighbors, well a few miles away anyway, "entertain" themselves. Gotta love weapons of mass destruction, especially historical ones.

AP A Pennsylvania history buff who recreates firearms from old wars accidentally fired a 2-pound cannonball through the wall of his neighbor's home in Uniontown, Pa.

William Maser, 54, fired a cannonball Wednesday evening outside his home in Georges Township that ricocheted and hit a house 400 yards away. The cannonball, about two inches in diameter, smashed through a window and a wall before landing in a closet. Authorities said nobody was hurt.

Quick! Ban cannons!

I saw that story and snickered. Wasn't he "just cleaning it" when it went off?

Quick! Ban cannons!

Then only criminals will have them.


I prefer one of those automatic 20MM's like the German's where using near the end of "Saving Private Ryan". Now that would be a nice conversation piece in the backyard. God help my neighbors.

Sorta the Wile E. Coyote thing.

Speaking of which, I recently received the funniest Wile E. Coyote/Roadrunner video ever. Not suitable for work (F-word, S-word, etc.), but funny as all getout.

I love BAR's, or anything else that goes BANG!

Except my engine going bang to loudly that is.

Hi Gary.
