How politically incorrect would it be for me to say that my daughter came home, and brought an obnoxious cat, which I renamed "Mu Shu" in honor of its ......um, future.

Somebody once gave me a cat named "Bitch". I renamed her Irene. It was back to the original name within a week, and I love cats. This one was just made of mean, though.

JesBelle, I once inherited a cat named Asshole. Took some explaining when talking about it to my fourth grade teacher.

Don't be silly. Cats are for stir-fry. Mu-Shu is squirrel.

Speaking of which, where's my squirrel gun?

I have a spud gun. With a few alterations, it might launch squirrels.

I suspect that as with punkin chunkin, points would only be scored when the squirrel flies intact until landing...

Punkin chunkers call the alternative a "pie."

Ok Pete...need an engineers mind here...been trapping a lot of racoons on the lease this year, what diameter of pipe should I use for a "coon launcher" Will PVC schedule 40 work or should I consider Scedule 80 or possibly GRC? Any ideas on muzzle velocity, fps, or breach pressures? :roll: Will a wadding be required?

Could it be also used a cat launcher? :twisted:

Also...I now claim even newer heights (or is it lows) for an off topic thread... :mrgreen:

The adaptation of a raccoon capable flight stimulator to cats is an interesting innovation. Preliminary evaluation suggests that the "coon launcher" is most adaptable to some what obese subjects, known as "fat cats". Considering the lean times currently being experienced, the number of available "fat cats" should be greatly diminished, but in fact, they seem to be as prevalent as ever and sourcing the requisite number of test subjects appears quite feasible. Project Fur Fly is a go!
