Big Gun
When I am done in the PI biz(which is going to be soon) I am going to miss driving all over the place and seeing some cool shit. Today, on my way to a claiment's home I was driving along and saw this:
Mail Gun
Every so often I see something that just blows me away. No pun intended. I stopped, turned around and took a picture so that I could share this with everyone. I don't know if anyone will be nearly as impressed with it as I was, but, damn, someone is creative.

You know what would be even cooler? If instead of the mailbox, there was a big flag that said, "BANG!!"
Okay, maybe not...
Are you sure you weren't in Texas?
hehe, that is so much better than the world's largest ball of twine!!!!!
I love it! The mayor (and I use a lowercase "m" on purpose) of Toronto was just complaining that a lot of the gun problems in Toronto come from the U.S. I know he'd find some way to use this to his political advantage. He's SUCH an ass... but I digress.
Maybe you should leave the P.I. business and become a photojournalist? Depending on how many of these pictures you have, it'd be cool to make yourself a coffee table book of them.
I'd trade you a pineapple head for a copy of that book. ;)
Suh-weet!
That is freaking hysterical!
You know for some reason, I don't think they need to have one of those little signs in front of the house saying "This house protected by ADT"! I have a feeling the mailbox pretty much deters a lot of visitors.
BTW if you meet up with TC tell him I said hey.
Thats awesome. I would never put that on my lawn but its cool noentheless.
Oh, I would SO put that on my lawn. Too bad we have those stupid community mailboxes. Something tells me my neighbors would not appreciate that, which makes me want it even more!!!
I would use it too....it certainly sends a clear...."piss off" message =)
I agree with the Seph. It is funny now, but it would be hysterical with the big red "BANG" sign!!
Steph: I thought you hated clowns.
LB: No but I was within 5-10 miles of the Olin factory which produces ammunition for our government and winchester, among others. Guns are big business there.
Motherdear: You could always decorate that mail slot with a gun barrel. Although, that might deter any sort of mail service you are getting as well as your neighbors.
Ltlme: I you call yourself a cat person.
P-Shag: The problem is that I only just bought the camera before my trip to New York about 2 months ago. And unfortunately, a lot of the stuff that I see like this is not documented and I hope to not have to travel with the next job I get. Although, if I manage to see enough stuff like this I will put together a coffee table book. That would be almost as cool as one of your pineapple heads.
Jastrom: Yes sir.
GD: I thought so too. See, we think alike, sometimes. Are you scared now?
Motherdear: I helped my dad, who lives out in the middle of nowhere, replace his mailbox after some kids destroyed it for the third or fourth time. He used 1/4 inch thick steel and welded it to a 6 inch round 1/4 inch thick steel poled sunk 6 feet deep and filled to the top with concrete. I wonder how many kids have hurt themselves trying to take a swing.
Dougie: They are the NRA. They also had a wagon wheel with a hug fake rifle on it up by their driveway. I have a pic of that too. I know I wouldn't screw with them.
Dani: I would ask you where your sense of adventure is, but, who am I kidding. We know you have a sense of adventure.
Callie: I don't know if I could do it living in the burbs, but if i had a farm or at least a little property outside of town then I would definitely put something like this up.
Lisa: Yes it does.
Joe: And this just proves that you are a clown. Now, I will repeat my comment. Steph, I thought you hated clowns.
Now I didn't say it was better than the World's largest toy mouse did I? :-)
Ltlme, nice save.
Jenni, stop it, you're making me blush. :P
hey i try. :-)
LOL
cute ...
im sure kids mess with that mailbox all the time!! LOL
Dim Lights - And I want to watch you straddle that.
Larry, you must have been in a northern state. That's actually a good design for keeping the box next to the road while keeping the post away from the snow plow. When I lived in the country, I had my mailbox post in a cement-filled bucket. When the plow knocked it over (which was almost every time it snowed) I could just pick it back up.
Ltlme: I know.
Raven: I know I am, but, thanks.
KR: Only the dumb ones. :)
Digi: Ditto to the first comment and I was actually, just across the river from St. Louis in Illinois.
That is the COOLEST mailbox I've ever seen!! Crazy people ROCK.
Ah, so it wasn't a clever take on a practical design. It was just gun nuts with too much free time?
They are the NRA. "From my cold dead hands" and all that jazz.
