For those of you who haven't been to a concert performed by a heartthrob singer of the calibre of Tom Jones, this won't mean much.

A head-mounted trebuchet, to launch underwear onto the stage, to "impress" the aforementioned heartthrob.

its much more than just a font. [neilp, May 31 2005]

       Oh my god. This is repulsive. But, strangely, bunworthy. [+]

       Surely a slingshot would be more appropriate? And not require additional equipment?   

       [Picturing UnaBubba hurling his underwear at Tom Jones.] [And really, *really* regretting it.]

       Is this for the elderly that have lost the throwing arm of their youth?

       The neat thing about the treb, is that, unlike the (relatively) linear-shooting slingshots and catapults, the unmentionables would drop in from above, so that, with sufficient volume, Tom would appear to be singing amidst an underwear shower, brassieres and panties gently wafting down to settle upon the stage like newfallen multi-colored snow. That doesn't melt.

       Being in the Halfbakery, I am surprised it is not an environmental friendly nuclear-powered railgun launcher that shoots hemp-grown underpants knitted by genetically-enhanced hamsters. For simplicity - CROISSANT!

       <sniffs> yes, UnaBubba's! - please put this in trebuchet - <phew>

       I got this entirely the wrong way round from the title. I assumed it would be something like a trebuchet codpiece fitment.

       The idea was to give lustful old aunties a means of launching their underduds onto the stage. I particularly like the image of a snowstorm of smalls (and control briefs) wafting down upon a stage breeze.

       What? no walnuts?

       Why not, just to make things simpler, make a trebuchet that uses the weight of your clothes (without you in them) to slingshot you onto the stage?   

       Okay, that was sick and sad, and I would so do it if I was at a Justin Timberlake concert, but anyways, bun it!
