Any ideas on a common decoration? Big Red Bows on the hoods, candy cane antenna covers, wreaths on the wheels, reindeer heads on top of our cars.

OK, come on now lets come up with something! Cool

I still like the idea of modifying one of my "devices" into a candy launcher and shooting the candy 100' into the air, then let the kids grab it :-)

The kids will love it. Raining candy; you can't beat it.

I just had a vision of that movie " The Mexican" All those Mexicans shooting there pistols in the air, that dude stand there takin a piss and bullet drops out of the sky and kills the hell out of him! I can just see a bunch of kids get nailed on the head from fallin candy. I guess my point is.... hell yeah that would be some funny shit! Laughing Laughing It seems like every year I run out of candy early and then you have to deal with there atitudes besause your out of candy. Well bring a helmet this year ya little bastards! We got your candy Twisted Evil Shooter

To add real effects I think the launcher needs to be fixed to the machine gun mount atop my Pinzgauer!
