LAND A<br />
LUNKER<br />
BASS!<br />
BUILD A SPUD MISSILE LAUNCHER!<br />
The potato cannon is legendary (and loud). “You can’t help but be overwhelmed by<br />
its power. But beware, there is real potential for danger,” says William Gurstelle,<br />
author of Backyard Ballistics and Absinthe & Flamethrowers. The spud gun blasts<br />
a potato into the air using the aerosol propellant in a can of hairspray, which is<br />
ignited with a spark. Check local ordinances—you don’t want Johnny Law callin’.<br />

Sparker<br />
assembly<br />
Hook fish, not tee shots. Bass and bluegills can grow huge<br />
in golf-course water hazards. Here’s how to snag ’em.<br />
MOST FUN “Keep a rod in your bag and make a few casts<br />
while you’re ‘searching for dunked balls,’” says Chicago<br />
fishing expert Ross Gordon. “Have a lure already tied on.”<br />
MOST SNEAKY Befriend (or bribe) the guy whose house<br />
backs up to the course near that beautiful pond.<br />
MOST HONEST Ask the greenskeeper for permission.<br />
MOST PRODUCTIVE Fish when there are no golfers—at<br />
dawn or dusk or, even better, under cover of darkness.<br />

Amaze!<br />
Grab a strong magnet—<br />
preferably a neodymium<br />
model from a hardware store<br />
or online. Hold it against<br />
the bottle until shards of<br />
black iron move to it. Ask<br />
if anyone wants a bowl.<br />

McIntyre loves doing<br />
sled drags with the<br />
Rouge S-35E ($95,<br />

Load a sled with<br />
weights, bags of topsoil,<br />
and the neighbor<br />
kid. Drag it down<br />
your lawn. Rest for 90<br />
seconds; do it again.<br />
