Some toy company used to make such a thing with a hand pump. Rocket
shaped plastic "bottles" with fins... probably 25 years ago, when my
boys were 8 & 11.

It'd do maybe 200' up into the air.

I think they may still make those. I saw one in some toy store
sometime in the last few years. Red, transparent plastic rocket that
fastens on to a white, foot long air pump with a blue handle.

I presently have working marshmallow gun: 1 inch bore, breach load,
electronic ignitor, shoots about 500 feet depending on how stale your
ammo is.

That sounds like the very thing we had.

Sno-o-o-o-ort !-)

When _I_ was a kid (like 1950 I had an air gun that shot ping-pong
balls. Under 20' they stung pretty seriously. My sister certainly
didn't like it ;-)

It's a burp gun. My wife recently bought me one. It's fun to shoot at
the cats when they try to scratch the upholstery. She won't let me
shoot it at the bird.

My sister went through a phase of complaining about me getting up for a shit
in the middle of the night. Apparently it had something to do with teachers
and biology lessons. I think it might have been puberty.

Who was I to argue, I had two of them and they were both bigger than me.

I've learnt my lesson.

These days I am very quiet when I take a shit. I'm also very tidy.....
wouldn't want to piss anyone off over breakfast.

Mind you..... it's almost June and that will make 5 months since I last
washed my body.

I get all my best ideas in the shower. Maybe I should write off the
soap and water as business expenses.

That's what you tell Mrs Larkin so she will pat your botty dry..... Like she
wouldn't want to be in there while you have a good idea.

Nice idea, install an executive one in the new building. Got to be tax
deductable.

Water cannon. When you tire of that, get them declawed and let 'em
have fun.

You want I should get you deknobbed so you won't shake your opinion in my
face. For sure this would be worth it.

Your wants don't interest me a bit, Robert.

For sure this would be worth it.

When I live in your hose and scratch at your fur nature, we'll
talk. Before that happens, you won't have any DNA capability
either.

Park Plastics made the original. Copies are made, but not as well.

I got right into water rocketry after finding others, as well
as me, had re-invented it, a few years ago. I even wrote the
canonical on-line simulator, and started the Yahoo WR mailing
list: <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/water-rockets/>. A 660ml
or 1.25L pop bottle with the right launcher, fins and nose will
approach 500'. The world record is about 3 times that, and
carried 2 altimeters and parachutes to prove it. Surprisingly
good fun also, though I've moved on now and only use the rockets
now to scare crows away .

I had one one of those when I was a boy, over 40 years ago. My dad
probably bought it some time in the late 50s or early 60s. Wish I
still had it.

I had a pile of comic books 3 feet high from the early 60s, including
the original X Men. My mother threw the lot out years ago. Would have
been worth a fortune now.

We had one of those - if you don't pull the trigger all the way, it just
loosens the seal and sprays horizontally, primarily on the operator. This
can be humorous. The other thing is you have to be very careful not
to break off that little nipple on the end of the pump (that pokes through
the nozzle while you're pumping) because then the whole thing is useless. )-;

Thanks!
