So "she-who-must-be-obeyed" comes home from the garden, and she has nearly the free world's yearly supply of onions with her. She announces that she wants to make dried minced onions with the food dehydrator, and "oh by the way" it's been dry, which makes onions more pungent. Therefore they need to go in the garage (where I have all my stationary power tools).
It's been 24 hours, and I still can't even go near the door. I like onions, but you can't imagine the nauseating, oppressive stench. I need my drill press - the remainder of the onions are going into dry storage or will be blanched and frozen. |

Ok here's an idea, I want you to get a BBQ ignitor, two dry wall screws, a 6"x1' peice of Pressurized PVC Pipe, 6" Screw on PVC End cap, 6" too 4" adapter, 5' of 4" pressurized PVC Pipe, then I want you too sand all the pipe, then primer the peices and glue them together using PVC Primer and glue, then I want you to put the two dry wall screws in the 1' peice of pvc until they almost touch, then set up the BBQ ignitor. Then put lots of hairspray into the chamber, then screw on the end cap, roll the onion down the barrel, then push the bbq igniter down. It will ignite the hairspray pushing the onion out of the barrel at a large velocity. It would be fun! Check this link out, and google Combustion spud gun for help should you wish to actually try this. http://www.geocities.com/unrealkrusty/basicgun.html sorry about the spelling error's im in a hurry, Enjoy! |

| I dunno Slavia ; you could be too egocentric. Not towards your wife, but towards those fresh onions--maybe they don't like the way YOU smell. |

How about a 10' barrel, and a plastic water cooler jug for the combustion chamber? Perhaps join the jug to the barrel with a hitch pin, so it can be breech loaded. Maybe use a stepladder for a bipod. Definitely use up all your dad's duct tape:
The son wanted to make his last high school science project memorable. The goal was to hit a cardboard box with a tennis ball across the width of a football practice field. This contraption cleared three practice fields, went through a grove of trees, and planted the tennis ball in a swamp on the other side. The teacher gave him an "A" on the condition that he not fire it again.
I could take the grate from my wife's (worthless) onion chopper and duct tape it to the muzzle. Then it would slice, dice, and make julienne fries. The kid goes to college in the fall to be an engineer; I'm sure he could figure it out:

They can complain al they want. I'll enjoy listening to their little oniony screams as I broil them in oil alongside their tomato cohorts. |
