  • I'm not posting any recipes. It would just give you something else ot knock me about.
    You want recipes...google.

    I did just see something interesting on TV just now. Take a cakemix, add 1 can of pumpkin, bake and you can't tell that you didn't add the oil and egg..and it adds a lot of fiber. I'm going to have to try that.

  • Susy
    We may as well forget it, everything is a joke to Mr Ed and his talking horse, needless to say what you said is the truth , Who needs to know how far a pumpkin will shoot out of a cannon anyway !! not me not anyone !!!
    You know your a redneck when:
    You shoot pumpkins from a cannon!!!

  • Does anyone ever notice how cheerless liberals are - lacking a sense of humor and having no appreciation for good clean fun?!?

    For Pete's sake Suzy, lighten up and get a life!

    By the way, are you going to carve a pumpkin for Halloween? Instead, how about baking a pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread and giving it to the local food bank for some poor, starving people?

    You know.... put your money where you mouth is!

  • Mr. Edpost
    Sounds like your smoking more than pumpkins, i don't care for pumpkin/pie myself, but what about the frozen chickens, did they have the bird flu?
    Chicken n dumplings could feed a lot of hungy people
    on the streets, i don't know this pepper person I'm not from Victoria. But a fund raiser would help if you could get anyone to pay to see this cannon in action. I'm sure it cost a lot for a rig like that
    so let me know how much money you raise next week
    to help the needy. Peace out brother !!!!

  • Picture this in your mind, if that is possible. Do this stunt in Africa, and watch the starving kids chase that pumpkin, and when it hits the ground, they will eat it, with a smile. Let your little darlings watch that so that they know how lucky they are to live in a Country with plenty.
    Our kids are learning waste and how playing with food is a good thing.
    I'm sorry, I was taught food is for eating and it's not something to be taken lightly, because one day, it may be gone.

  • Pumpkin is very nutritious. With that said, letting kids watch adults destroy food for fun may not be a good thing. Something like that sticks in impressionable minds.

  • Sure, I would shoot all my rotten fruit and vegatables at the nosey people who drive by my house.

  • exresident

  • dumbblond , That sounds like a wounderful idea & it would work great maybe you can go to HEB & get one started I would try useing different fruit other than pumkins , I personally dont like the taste ... I did take my kids ther and thought it was pretty cool ,The phisics of how 90 psi of air can shoot a pumkin that far.

  • If they are that hungry invite, them to your house for dinner , or they can add more air pressure and shoot them some food .. I might be wrong but the stuff Jett was useing was stuff they wher going to throw away, no waste

  • That is so stupid, can't you find anything better to do, children are starving in our country, If you have that much money or food to waste use it wear it will be helpful, God will then watch over you!!!

  • Here's a good question for the Advocates next poll question, Do you think the Advocate has anybody with enough sense to come up with an important poll question?

  • Ignorant?- Maybe
    ROOFING NAILS AND SCRAP IRON?--THAT'S IGNORANT!(Unless Osama Bin Laden is THE TARGET!).
    Anvils?(Same as the above)
    Waste of food? One can use what's left to make pies.
    So, just think of it as a GIANT FOOD PROCESSOR.

    ---------Happy Halloween Everyone!-----------------

  • It's a waste of good food when so many are going hungry. Shoot something else besides food, and no problem.

    October 22, 2009 at 7:30 a.m.
  • Come on guys it's south Texas, pumpkins, watermelon, anything that is round and fits!!! We're not shooting it at anyone, it is just for fun. At least it's not the anvils like in Sweet Home Alabama :)
