04 Feb 05 - 06:03 PM (#1399433) Subject: BS: Salad Shooter From: Bee-dubya-ell I remember seeing something called a Salad Shooter advertised on television back in the days when I had a television (10+ years ago) but I don't remember any of the details. Did anybody own one? (A Salad Shooter, that is. Not a television.) If so, whatever in the world for? Did it work? What was it about a salad that you found to be so dangerous that you would need to shoot it? |

04 Feb 05 - 06:13 PM (#1399443) Subject: RE: BS: Salad Shooter From: CarolC Someone gave me one that they didn't want. That should tell you something right there. I used it once or twice and found it utterly usless and a waste of time. Of course, I was only aiming into a bowl. Maybe if I had been aiming at rabbits or something it might have been amusing. I got rid of it, don't remember how though. |

05 Feb 05 - 12:50 PM (#1399929) Subject: RE: BS: Salad Shooter From: Bee-dubya-ell I suspect that the "FFF" Harpy referred to is the Florida Folk Festival. There seems to be dissension brewing over changes in the way musical participants are chosen. Fortunately for me, my official participation now is as a crafter so I don't have to worry about it. I still get to play as much music as I want, but I don't have to be at a certain place at a certain time to do it. Of course, that all has zilch to do with salad shooters. But I do have a serious salad shooter question: What size shot should I use for shooting endive with a 12 gauge shotgun? I've been using 7½ for iceberg lettuce and radichio. Do you think the 7½ would still be okay or should I move up to something a little huskier? I was even thinking about rifled slugs. It seems a bit like overkill, but it'd be a lot easier to dress. Picking birdshot out of lettuce ain't much fun and you can damned sure break a tooth on any that you miss. |

|
05 Feb 05 - 02:43 PM (#1399991) Subject: RE: BS: Salad Shooter From: Rapparee Bee-Dubya, it depends. If the endive is attacking or even threatening to attack AND it's either wild or exists in an untamed area of vegetation (like a garden area in early Spring), OR if you don't want to get real close to it, I'd sure consider 12 gauge slugs. Or some #4 buckshot. More of it in the air than double ought buck, but it's still big enough to clear out effectively. If you're going to use the 7 1/2 or any of that small stuff, make sure you use steel shot or even bismuth. No point in getting lead poisoning from the endive you harvest. One thing about rifled slugs, though. If you miss 'em when you clean the endive, they'll pass right through ya. A day or two later you'll have to buy a new toilet, though. |

05 Feb 05 - 03:47 PM (#1400046) Subject: RE: BS: Salad Shooter From: Stilly River Sage Isn't slime a problem if you're rifling slugs? Curious Northwesterners want to know. (And you want to be careful how big those slugs are.) SRS |

05 Feb 05 - 07:01 PM (#1400201) Subject: RE: BS: Salad Shooter From: Bee-dubya-ell Thanks, Brucie, but those sea slugs are a bit to big bore for a shotgun. You'd need a mortar to fire them and I don't have one. |

05 Feb 05 - 08:44 PM (#1400280) Subject: RE: BS: Salad Shooter From: Peace Likely get 'em through a 4-gauge. |

05 Feb 05 - 09:21 PM (#1400304) Subject: RE: BS: Salad Shooter From: Bee-dubya-ell I already have a mortar just like the first photo. And I think we've decided that a blunderbuss would just be the shits for shooting sea slugs. |

06 Feb 05 - 10:19 AM (#1400650) Subject: RE: BS: Salad Shooter From: Rapparee I play golf about as often as I hunt dinosaurs with a spatula. Yet I have a couple dozen golf balls (some that I'm told are quite expensive) in a container on my kitchen table. Starting about the end of March I'll start collecting more -- I think that they might be like mushrooms and pop up in my back yard when Spring comes. I was going to seed them around the golf course to confuse the golfers, but I now realize that golfers are already confused enough and if I did that they might not be able to find their way home. Then I'd have all these golfers wandering around at night, their plaintive cries of "Fore!" disturbing my sleep. Maybe I'll open a Used Golf Ball Stand instead. (Did anyone notice the subtle way I worked a spatula into this? Didja?) |
