Whoops!
 
2011-12-06 10:37:30 PM
I'd have to call this one plausible.
 
2011-12-06 10:37:36 PM
All they have to do now is come up with a couple of myths that this would be a good test for, and they've got an episode!

Could they double-check whether it was really a cannonball? If it wasn't, it might have been me. Sorry. I was looking at these:

Do not try this in someone's home.

Sorry about that, Chief.

Clicked on comments to see what kind of valuable discussion was going on and..........................okay, just came for Kari pics, leaving satisfied.

Don't let the guys aim dangerous things when Kari is standing next to them.

Ahhhh yeah, esp. that tire autograph session? the second one.

So, more cannon/explosion myths next season. That isn't getting old at all. Used to really love that show, now it's one or two good shows a season.

Performing a test at an approved location with law enforcement presence and a safety plan. It'll be interesting to see how the lawsuit on this one turns out. Not too much negligence on the face of it.

Might be time to shut those boys down. Once you start committing acts of war on American homes you have crossed a line. Even if it is friendly fire and they are fun to watch.

I'm guessing lots of people come for Kari pics. I know I have lots of times.

oops, I actually read that as Horse... I really gotta get my eyes checked, but they do seem to be working ok on Keri's fine booty.

This is totally not a bookmark for Kari pics.
 
2011-12-06 10:58:42 PM
The smart thing to have done would have been to have Grant build a robot to shoot the cannonball. Then it would have worked. Having no idea of the circumstances involved, my first thoughts on the matter lead me to the impulsive wild guess that Tory's poor judgement is ultimately the source of the errant cannonball. In any case, the Alameda County Sheriff's Department holds the final liability legally speaking, I am sure.

Marine1: Performing a test at an approved location with law enforcement presence and a safety plan. It'll be interesting to see how the lawsuit on this one turns out. Not too much negligence on the face of it.

It was still directly caused by their actions. It seems pretty open and shut.

Better that they settle this out of court quickly, though. There's no sense in having a lawsuit like that hanging over their heads for months.
 
2011-12-06 11:00:40 PM
I just checked and all of the cannon pics (Tory and Kari both posted at least two each too) are gone, this one is sure looking plausible until confirmed!
 
2011-12-06 11:01:05 PM
I came here to see the "Busted" stamp logo.
/not disappointed; the Kari shots are nicer somehow.
 
2011-12-06 11:02:20 PM
I hope they include this in the final cut of the episode whenever it airs. The "oh shiat" reaction ought to be awesome.

Living next door to a firing range is not a sign of intelligence.

Insurance will probably cover a good chunk of this on the Mysthbusters side, as long as it's shown that they took all possible precautions not to have something like this happen (and they usually are very good about that entire safety thing), and the Mythbusters will pay for the rest out of their budget. And the firing range they were at might change a few rules as to what they allow to go on on their fields as well.

If they were trying to test the Worlds Largest Slincer, then the home owners never would have seen it coming.

I just found out that "Mythbusters Live" is coming to my town, but the tickets are $91 for balcony and $120 for floor. Unless that includes ______ from Kari, it's not worth the price. (Feel free to fill in the blank with your own preferences.

That's funny, I thought it looked like a Bob's Big Boy.

Kari, why is she really that hot?

She looks easy on the eyes, but not that she is any more attractive than the 'hot' girl in the office. Furthermore, she is intelligent, but is often mean. And she knows she is attractive and uses that to her advantage, but would deal very harshly with anything that dealt with the downside of that life strategy.

I don't get the worship?

Assuming it was them and let's be honest, it almost certainly was, the cannonball must have traveled some 500-600m (by my estimate). That's impressive, depending on how it was done.
