Potato

Though I am no engineer, I feel a special connection and creative spirit after sending a potato hurtling through the air at 200 mph.

In years past, I have kept such a device in the trunk of my car at all times. My trusty potato cannon has proved useful on numerous occasions to kill boring Friday nights, and attract women by the herds. After an unfortunate incident in March of 2012, when old faithful met its demise by blowing out its back in the face of girl I had never met, I had to put her down.  Although the worst injury suffered that night was a few signed eyebrows, I knew that particular gun was no longer safe.

And so, after more than 18 months, Saturday night I went to work with my homies imagining, drafting, and building what would be our most effective and powerful model yet.

I just can’t wait to test it.
