    Awesome video, Ron!

    But dammit, that's TWICE today I've been trumped. My nephew posted this on my Facebook page today, a laser balloon zapping robot, I have all the necessary pieces and was going to get that going (probably on a Stingray chassis) over Christmas break. Now I'll look like a friggin' wannabe poser loser copycat!

    Looks like a red aiming laser and a powerful violet burning laser. My laser is a 5 mW green laser, takes a second to pop a black balloon.

    WOW! I'd find it hard to sit inside watching TV knowing my house was "performing".

    "Honey, don't forget to turn the lights off!"

    Agreed, especially from a safety standpoint. From my experience, flamethrowers aren't a "set it and forget it" proposition. Halloween night, I was outside carefully controlling my pumpkin flamethrowers. People (kids and adults both) would walk right into harm's way asking "Is that real fire?". Darwin award candidates all.

    I guess Gagnam style is so 2011 now. Great show, but looked to me more appropriate for Hallowe'en.
