You might be a spudgunner if you walk into Home Depot, spot some kids in the plumbing section obviously building a spud cannon, and wonder if you walked up and introduced yourself as PCGUY if they would know who you were... :lol:

you might be a spudder if

-you have actually mounted a gun in the back of your truck/car.
-everyone in your neighborhood knows better than to approach your house on the weekend
-when the Mythbusters say "Dont try this at home!" you take it as a personal insult and vow to actually try it some day.
-the Mythbusters chicken gun is your hero.
-several of the smaller trees in your yard have been clipped down to waist height.
-your dad still cant find the the golf ball he always uses to practice with. :roll:
No matter how rich you become, how famous or powerful, when you die the size of your funeral will still pretty much depend on the weather.

Yea, this might be just the case if this place keeps growing the way it is. I'm pretty excited to see new faces every day. I'm lookin forward to see'ing what kind of cannons they bring to the table.

p.s. that topic was pretty funny 10 months ago! :-p

YMBASI you carry the business card of the best plumbing supply place in your wallet.
Yes, I am guilty.
YMBASI when the people you are close to add a "don't blow your self up" to the end of their goodbyes.
YMBASI you got a 105% on your end of the year science project, with next to no preparation, as all you had to do was summarize the last year of your life.
YMBASI you want to go to a college in the middle of forking nowhere, just to have more open space.

I know its old, but
Likes mythbusters
Now I just find them insulting to science... I do not want to start a debate here, but there is nothing worthwhile about them (other than explosions.)

It's a Wiki, you don't need to ask me... but I've added it a link to the topic in anyway. If you want, you can post it directly into the wiki, but I didn't feel it quite as necessary as with the other two (multi-poster) jokes.

I (and I imagine many others) would be only too happy to see people to take the initiative to add to the wiki (assuming it's done sensibly), even if it's just for minor edits to less important pages, because that might lead to bigger improvements to the larger pages.

You might be a spudder if the former halloween pumpkin now looks like someone on speed got a 12 guage and loaded it with assorted sizes of buckshot.

OR

Whenever anyone goes into your backyard, they find peices of plywood and cans riddles with holes, and then AA batteries torn open, dented, smashed, and otherwise screwed up.

You might be a spudder if all the deodorant and hairspray cans in your house disappear for odd reasons .

@nsane-spuds: Kind of dull. Saying "You might be a spudgunner if you post on spudgun forums" or "YMBASI you build spudguns" kind of goes without saying.

My friends aren't that nice. Their goodbyes end with "Don't blow anyone else up".

I'm not sure if that's because they think it's a given, that they think I'm unimportant, or that I'll simply survive it. Anyone is a possibility.

I've had a friend, who when I asked "Oh my god! Are you ok?", replied rather calmly for the given situation, "Am I on fire?"
Luckily the answer was no, but he did burn all of the hair off of his forearm. Thats what happens when you fill a balloon with hairspray, and then don't wear protective gear on your hands/arms when you light it off...

I bet you already told em that there is a chance that you are immortal.

Once did the same thing, but then with a condom instead of a balloon.
One time I was not careful enough; the pillar of fire was too close to my head, burning some hair off and scorching one eyebrow.
If I just had that roll of visco fuse back then...
