[QUOTE=Dantai;33606947]They blow out peoples windows with an explosion now they're putting cannonballs through walls, wonder what's next[/QUOTE] Don't know, but my best guess is to look for the mushroom cloud on the horizont :v:

I can't stand Kari. She's just an annoying bitch most of the time. But Grant and Tori are awesome.

[QUOTE=Chaotic Lord;33619032]I hated that other girl they had for a while. Can't remember her name.[/QUOTE] Scottie? Yeah, she was definitely a self-righteous bitch. She treated Tori like shit honestly, so fuck her. The girl they had fill in for Kari when she was on maternity leave though, Jessie I think was her name, I thought she was awesome. She was funny, intelligent, and pretty nice with the others. I had really hoped she would stay.
We should come up with a myth to ask them to try and test...
Shit happens.
I'm so glad my house is made out of brick.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;33607122]I'm wondering why they were firing a cannon on a bomb range instead of some place actually designed for shooting long range projectiles Seems negligent[/QUOTE] They really needed a good soft dirt backstop to shoot into. Quite frankly the cannoneer should have known better. Even though they've had a BP cannon on the show before, I doubt Adam and Jamie truly understand the kind of power they're dealing with. I've seen cannonballs rip right through a thick dirt berm covered in grass at the edge of an irrigation canal and then continue on through to the opposite side and STILL be buried so deep into the hillside that shovels were needed to retrieve the cannonball.
[QUOTE=luck_or_loss;33619868]I'm so glad my house is made out of brick.[/QUOTE] See this? [QUOTE=Zero-Point;33606951]Civil war cannon ball eh? So something like this then: [img]http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/3672/20111206204729.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Send that at your brick wall at even 100MPH and tell me how it works out for you.
[QUOTE=Zero-Point;33622283]See this? Send that at your brick wall at even 100MPH and tell me how it works out for you.[/QUOTE] You'd also have time to hear it coming toward you and go "What the fuck is that sound?" before it sails through your house.
[QUOTE=RR_Raptor65;33623134]You'd also have time to hear it coming toward you and go "What the fuck is that sound?" before it sails through your house.[/QUOTE] My point is that at nearly any speed (hell, I bet just shot-putting the thing at a brick wall will put a hole in it), that little iron ball with fuck your shit up.
