Hey Jeremy,

You may havre the answered your own question to use a self-propelled lawn mower for your "trunk end of act stunt" just a matter of head scratching to make things appear as you want them to. They have the electric starts now on lawn mowers which could also be made to start with a "remote"...
If the trunk isn't too heavy my imagination leads me to Toy's "R" Us where one can find endless self propelled cars and such with an endless array of sound-effects.

The TP gun has me stymied a little as I am not sure of the effect you are trying to create. If it is a TP gun then the sensational idea of floating paper out in to thin air from a leaf blower is'nt gonna cut it. When I think of a TP gun I seem to get an image of a TP cannon that would fire the whole roll or....
Have fun Jeremy...
Just Jim

Now this could come in handy from time to time. "Step away from the out house Sir! WE are going to fire..."

This is probably more then you're looking for, but an ingenious senior citizen sent in this picture of a motorized scooter he created - pic is in the middle of the page at http://www.seniorsapprove.com/senior_citizens.html

I worked for an amusement company for a time and our motorized train was nothing more than an off-the-shelf lawn tractor with a fiberglass body bolted over it. It was slow as anything but the kids loved it.

As for the TP cannon, I'm inclined to think that you won't get the results your hoping for unless you use the leaf blower. Dusters and hair dryers just don't have a high enough output.
