First off I hope TV shows count this is my first ever post here so please go easy on me if I'm in the wrong section.

So the earlier tonight I was flipping through the channels and stopped on My Name is Earl. The episode name is Nature's Game Show. I don't watch this show but found this episode rather funny.

So anyway the myth is:
Joy Turner near the end of the episode has to get Crab man into the church cellar because of the impending doom of the huge tornado barreling down on their present location. She grabs a garden hose, a propane tank, and 4 - 5 sticks of juicy fruit gum. At which point she sets the tank on the locked cellar door. Uses the gum to attach the garden hose to the propane tank. Backs up to a safe distance and uses a pistol with blanks in it(Found earlier in the episode) firing it into the garden hose triggering an explosion of the tank and blowing open the cellar doors.

Even if it never makes it to TV I would love to know if you guys test out this idea. Who knows maybe it does work.

I'm very sorry I noticed I titled this thread wrong my bad and I even RTM'd before I posted. So if there is a mod nice enough to fix this thread title that would rock.

Also would have PMd a mod but this board is a bit weird in the way it works I'm used to vBulletin.

Once again sorry.....Ohhh yeah my bad I double posted too.....Wow not my night.
