Party!: C-3PO Piñata Packed With Fireworks

"Fire in your hole!"

Now that's a creepy looking piñata if I've ever seen one. And I have. Reminds me of having to sleep in the doll room at my grandma's house and just waiting for them to come alive and try to gut me. One time I pretended to fall asleep and then jumped out of bed real quick and like a dozen of the little blinky-eyed bastards were already crawling across the room towards me. Long story short: I threw my comforter over them, smashed them with a dresser, and burnt the house to the ground. You could hear their screams. God I hope those weren't actually her cats aside, this is a video of some guy stuffing a C-3PO piñata with fireworks and shooting it off into the wild blue yonder (complete with on-board camera!). It worked surprisingly well. Granted not as well as if you'd attached a string and tried beating it with a bat while it whizzed around your head, but somebody obviously doesn't understand the true meaning of Christmas.

Hit the jump for a happy ending (I hate C-3 is the thing).

Thanks to georg, who may or may not be the guy who actually made the video. Although I suspect he is. Also, a stoner (Youtube username: skaduskitai420). Detective GW, on the job!

  This is a video of an R/C tri-copter shooting Roman candles at hydrogen-filled balloons in the style of a video game. Obviously, I'm pissed I didn't have this kind of setup when I was a kid. And not just because the closest I ever came to a missile-laden R/C helicopter was a ... / Continue →
• Largest Model Rocket Ready For Blast Off

  April 20, 2009

  I did absolutely zero research to determine if this 36-foot tall, 1,600lb model rocket built by Steve Eves is, in fact, the largest ever, but that's only because I've already won numerous prizes for investigative journalism and figured I'd give somebody else a chance. I jest -... / Continue →

  Because, even though it's my birthday, it shouldn't be all about me, here's a little something for you -- it's just a little something I'd like to call THE FUTURE OF INTERNET ENTERTAINMENT. Move over, Shiba Inu puppy-cam! The Human Society of Clinton, Iowa has a webpage where... / Continue →
