I've never been a "Gun" person but if this thing shoots scallops, I'll learn to like them.

(And uh...that's not me in the photo)

To be fair, I never tried felt strips. I always used pillows or stuffed animals. I had a very large Bugs Bunny in my Rogers kit. Every kit has to have a mascot. Snoopy hangs from my jungle kit, a very small Angry Bird (a blue one) hangs from my Premiers. I haven't decided what will be on my upcoming Silverstars, but my orphan kit consisting of a MIC OCDP kick, a '70s Premier Tom as a floor Tom and a '90s Premier Genista rack will have a big Angry Bird inside, as the kick will have no front head.

Yeah- I'm THAT guy!!!

I picked pillow because that's what was in the Pdps iplay. Didn't know that bacon was a damping material.

Nah, bacon isn't a damping material; this is kind of a joke carried over from another forum I was involved with.

Welcome to the forum, Stu.

How come I didn't respond to that post?!?

I have to say I would own a gun if it were to be made of bacon. I like all bacon: streaky and the way it REALLY should be done (look up some pictures of a proper English breakfast if you want to know what bacon should look like).

I'd go with scallop, pâté and filet mignon as bullets and shoot myself in the mouth a few times a day, not caring that I would be as big as a house!!!

Thanks for the welcome, though I don't get the bacon joke.
