What's the fuck is wrong with you guys? (Sturgis rant inside)

a week ago we shot a potato cannon in my back yard

i think we're going to blow up a guitar later...

How'd you build the potato gun - was it PVC and a Grill igniter? I made one a while back like that - used Aqua Net as the fuel :lol: - that thing was so dangerous, but fucking A, it would have blown a potato clear through someone. We easily cleared 1500 feet with it (the whole assembly was about 7 feet long).
 
I completely agree with most of the points you made, but this post was not only about Joey Sturgis.

He is just the prime example that gets the most attention.
My OP was much more than a defensive statement about Joey Sturgis.

But as with most threads on this forum, if his name is mentioned.. Everything else is overlooked.

:kickass::kickass:

You also changed your original post and removed Joey's name. While he may have been just a "prime example" of your overall statement, it still was the focus of your post.... proved by the fact that Joey felt the need to jump in to the thread. And let's be honest ... what other person has been the focal point of the problems you've mentioned? I think its safe to say you intended this post to "mostly" be about Joey and considering the recent back and forth problems between him and several others. Besides, your title fucking says "Sturgis rant inside" ;)
 
Example:

Completely unhelpful posts to the OP.
I just think it's unnecessary.

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.
He basically asked
HOW DO I GET MY DRUMS TO SOUND LIKE THESE REALLY OBVIOUSLY 100% SAMPLE REPLACED DRUMS?

HURR DURR I FUCKING WONDER HOW THAT IS ACCOMPLISHED.
I'm more than prone to bouts of being an unhelpful, antisocial, unlikeable asshole, but ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer, it's that simple.
