So I was reading a friend's online journal, and she was talking about having a "'tater launch". Apparently, quite the popular thing in the South so she says. And I thought, "Oh, now really. You just have to be kidding."
But no!
The Spudgun Technology Center - Your Source for Spudgun Parts, information, and more!
Or, if you prefer your spuds with a bit more geek chic and fewer broken images:
The SpudGun HomePage: Ever want to make potato salad from 150 yards away? A spudgun is the coolest way to send a potato flying over 150 yards at speeds up to 140 miles per hour. They're easy to make, fairly inexpensive, and easy to maintain. Also, they're not classified as a firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
Who knew that the lack of ATF classification could be a selling point? I'm so relieved!
That's the thing I love about the net. Those lovely, "I couldn't possibly make this stuff up," moments.

Spud guns are definitely real-- one of our senior majors is a spud gun fanatic, and is trying very hard to find a way to work a spud gun into his senior thesis research (his advisor remains skeptical...).
