GRS 1915+105 is the archetypal microquasar -- a stellar-mass black hole producing relativistic jets at v=0.92c. While observations of GRS 1915+105 promise great insights into the formation of such jets in microquasars and AGN, relatively little progress has been made to-date on detailed models of jet formation in this system. We present a simple cartoon model of the development and release of energy in GRS 1915+105 via a "magnetic bomb" as the source of the observed medium jet ejections from this system. We show how this model matches multiwavelength observations of this behavior, including X-ray, infrared, and radio flux, spectral, and timing evolution.
