"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

UPDATE: (Jonathan): "Apparently you screw it into a log or something, stick a piece of bait on the hook, and when something pulls on it . . . bang. Twenty two caliber."
I think it has something to do with an attempt by the OSS to capture that Marxist Santa Claus once and for all.
The hook was attached to a plate of Cookies and the gun hidden in an adjoining Christmas tree.
It was discontinued after complaints came in from sleep-deprived fathers who accidentally set the trap off after refueling on cookies during late-night amateur engineering and untrained Japanese translating.
Interesting. A special-purpose set-gun.
ReplyDeleteThat would keep the neighbors out of the wine cellar.
Spring gun??

That's got to be a lethal component of a trap for fur animals, based on the legend on the side.
