Yesterday my daughters, my son-in-law, and I went out to the Boomershoot site and built a snowman.

It's a 34 43 Mbyte .WMV file. Don't even think about it unless you have a high speed connection.

Crank the volume up. There are some subtle sounds.

Update: I just updated the video. There were some very significant changes. The slow parts were sped up, the interesting parts were slowed down and a lot more detail added.

Some technical details: Five gallons of gasoline, ten pounds of Boomerite, and one shot from an AR-15 chambered in .223.

Update2: One of the reasons to make this video was for America's Funniest Home Videos who requested people make videos of building then destroying a snowmen in "creative" ways. Reading the fine print for the submission I discovered I must take the video off the web when I submit it. I'm giving everyone until Midnight January 2^nd to view it. Then it's coming down. Sorry about that.

Update3: I've removed the link to the video. Send me an email if you want to view a private copy.
