If a growing pumpkin is encased in a (removable) plexiglas tube, it will have to grow in the shape of longish cylinder. Not quite HPBT, or BT spitzer, but coming closer.

yeah... you could grow them in long metal sleeves the same diameter as the tube so they would grow longer than wide

So do they load it like a muzzleloader? Got a 100 foot ramrod? Is the barrel rifled? LOL! I feel for the guy who gets to clean it.

Thanks for posting this, I also saw it on TV last year. Sounds like a real hoot.

I thought we just busted Sadam for having a few of those things.

If the Marines want to get 'medieval' on the Fallosers, they could use it to hurl severed heads into the town center. See how they like it.
