The warmth and heart wrenching simplicity of Australian bush poetry can bring a tear to the eye.


We are blessed in Australia to have such an abundant wealth of talented story tellers through whom future generations can learn of our history and 21st century lifestyle.

Here is a classical example: A Poem About Tomatoes

I know a ANTIFA whose name is Jim,
I really love throwing tomatoes at him,
Tomatoes are soft & don't hurt the skin,
But these buggers do, 'cos they're still in the tin

HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE

Vince ,,,,, The tomatoes may be wrapped in lead ,,,,the way things are going after yesterdays election . Hope it doesn't come to that,,,,but

and the use of garlic instead of tomatoes would make it easier for the tracking-dogs...

it's not that good for the environment not to do the search and also: that's the only way to check the results...

Good idea mate...one must consider the environment, and of course the results on the target.

I'm gonna need a bigger cannon. The one I made will only hold a golf ball.

According to an old mate of mine, they make a right mess of an OPFOR tank when launched by a blank out of the 105mm gun on a Chieftain.

That would be funny to see mate, especially if you hit the turret just above the drivers head, or target the Comd’s cupola, hitting the open turret lid...SPLAAATTT

Got a good mental picture of that happening,,,,,,,

The ID of the barrel on my cannon is 1.69" and a golf ball has to have a wad to fit snug. I believe golf balls are 1.68" or 42.68mm. Some are bigger (tighter fitting) but I haven't found any smaller.

can is 53mm...so thats a nope.....pretty sure all the aloy cans will be generic size....might find something plastic that fits....or or or or you could find plastic one slightly too big,with same internal diameter and freeze it with somthing like glyphosphate in it and fire frozen payload into wild blue yonder to puzzle the begezus out of who evers land in arrives on....mini ice cubes of roundup work really well on rental properties where dogs arent allowed....tenants get blamed for having dogs n kicked out.....

That’s just mean and evil mate...I like it...what a perfect way to deal with that problem.

Official minimum in the UK is 1.62" - supposedly fly straighter on windy days.
