[Opinions] Re: Friend's BA (shaking head in disbelief)
Cannon would be okay if it wasn't, you know, something you shoot missiles out of. Travis is very dated. Also reminds me that I was watching true crime videos the other day and one of the murder victims they talked about was named Gannon.

I know a family with the last name of Gannon. Hopefully, they aren't closely related. I don't think of cannons as the same as a rocket launcher or a bazooka, so I don't connect them with missiles in the way that you seem to. A howitzer is sort of a cross between a cannon and a mortar, and they are still in use, so I guess cannons aren't totally obsolete. A couple of months ago a 155 mm howitzer artillery made history by successfully shooting down an incoming cruise missile. Go cannon!

I just mean missile like any projectile, not necessarily one that explodes :PAlthough I also think of Pachelbel's Canon

Was that the boy probably killed by his stepmother? I think I watched one of those videos too, I thought it was an odd name.

Yeah, that's the one. It made me think of Zelda but I guess that's Ganon
