"Mama, I just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled the trigger, now he's dead..."

Oh dear. a song from my childhood.

A four-legged friend
A four-legged friend
He'll never let you down
He's honest and stable right up to the end
that wonderful one, two three four-legged friend

It's a contest held every year to see who can hurl a pumpkin for distance, or accuracy, or both.

They have catapults, air cannons, centrifugal machines of various sorts, in several "weight" categories...it's quite the show.

It started out as a fun joke contest during a harvest festival, but then mushroomed into its own elaborate festival.

Check out the website and/or google the name for some pics of the rigs that are entered. Some of the compression cannons are big enough to require a flatbed truck, like a self-propelled howitzer.

Thank you.
In Scotland they have a simpler contest; "Tossing the Caber".
Think of a Telegraph Pole and you won't be far out.

I attend the Highland Games over here every chance I get.
I delight in explaining to the uninitiated that contestants are not judged on how far they can toss it, but how straight.

However, my favorite event is the Farmer's Walk.

Crosby Stills & Nash:-

. . . and the long cars are arriving at the door.
The Generals are having another party.
There's a Congressman or three
and some guys you never see
Outside the Bank.
