Behold the Meat Cannon of Philadelphia
How fitting that on a day where Joel looked up "irrumatio" in the dictionary, we get a pitch for "The Hot Dog launcher, possibly the greatest gadget ever."
After years of R&D, not to mention hundreds of packs of premium grade hotdogs, Hatfield has perfected a meat cannon that can propel a warm, juicy dog from the infield to the nosebleed section - in the blink of an eye.
There's more on the launcher at grillthegoodness.com.

"the Meat Cannon of Philadelphia"
Worst...port..ever...
That is truly an awesome implementation of technology.
If anyone had seen fit to inform me of this, I would have actually gone to a Phillies game during those 5 years I lived down there.
The one downside I suppose is they are shooting Phillies Franks. Although people from the area seem to think they are the bees knees the Philly Franks are almost identical but slightly worse than an Oscar Myer hot dog.
This an Obama being elected are two of the greatest things I've seen this year.
I meant to say "This and Obama eing elected are two of the greatest things I've seen this year."
magnificent achievement! What's the next food item going to fly?
Did they seriously just compare a hot dog canon to landing on the moon in relation to its importance to mankind?
That's what they called me when I lived there
/hurrrr.
I'm vegetarian and wouldn't eat a hotdog, but this is an achievement on par with the flushing toilet.
You think a veggie dog would have proper heft for launchability? How about a falafel sandwich? The latter being quite messy if it falls apart mid-launch.
i have seen it in action, and the meat missile launcher is truly awe-inspiring. so is the amount of teens huffing nitrous in the parking lot.
"we're hoping to get it to New Jersey. it'll be recognized around the country, around the world"
awesome
I fired up the video and say that it was 6 minutes and almost closed it. I'm glad I watched the whole thing though, these guys are hilarious. The thinly veiled self-deprecation is fantastic. "I felt tingles up my spine".
Truely epic. this deserves some sort of award of awesomeness.
