Speaking of punkin' chunkin', TLC, The Learning (About Completely
Useless) Stuff channel has a fantastic "documentary" on the activity.
These people build air canons, trebuchets and radial arm throwers that
blast these things close to a mile.  It's unreal.

Now if you combine that concept with a Punkin' Chunkin' Westy on Monster
Garage, you'd have me glued to the set.  Not that I'm not already glued
to it.  Damn you TiVo!  Damn you straight to hell!!!
