Tips for throwing tomatoes ?

[kentauros]

I've only ever thrown water balloons.

1. Find a Tea Party.

2. Good idea!

I'll send Gov. Goodhair a Target-logo t-shirt :evilgrin:

[freshwest]

5. Yup, make it a bullseye. Ricky needs to pay attention.

3. Use canned tomatoes.

They leave an impression. ;)

4. Rotel tomatoes are memorable.

6. With or without Velveta?

Hmm, maybe we'll need a Rotel/Velveta Super Soaker now...

:P

7. I have a friend in Houston who does catering with cheese fountains (no kidding). It'll work!

[kentauros]

8. Okay, we'll just invite Goodhair to whatever is the latest

WalMart opening, and git him then! }(

17. Just leave them in the can

With a large slingshot, you could get some pretty good distance.

19. Some medical tubing, a large funnel, two to four buddies

to hold the tubing, and a gallon-sized restaurant-supply can of tomatoes! }(

10. Looks like a classic!

These days you have to send the topic to Mythbusters and then they invent some overblown method of delivering the organic-matter seed-carrier, and we find out in the end that throwing a tomato really can take down a small aircraft just like a minuscule bird-strike! :P

11. The rottener the better!

Bake

21. Or maybe use the ones the birds got to first

:hi:

12. Make sure they're over-ripe.

For a bigger splash. Much like water balloons.

Back in my farming days in the Negev desert, we always had tomato fights. Sometimes, dogfights on tractors.

13. "dogfights on tractors"?!

So, when the Amish do that for fun, it's with draft horses pulling plows? :P

15. The experts in this field are the Spanish

specifically the residents of the town of Bunol. There, tomatoes are thrown willy-nilly annually, sort of like the running of the bulls in Pamplona, only with tomatoes.

[kentauros]

18. And the streets ran red with

ketchup! :P

I remember Olbermann showing that on Oddball. Looks like great fun! :D

16. Side-arm, baby. (n/t)

[kentauros]

20. Left or right-handed?

Hey, lookit this! A tomato cannon!
Great way to save your arm :D
