Rubber Band Ball = WMD?

[JK]

I saw this earlier and could hardly believe it...

Assault with a deadly... piece of elastic? (http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050223/BREAKINGNEWS/50223002)

You know the old saying: it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye... then it's just fun.

I use to shoot my teacher in the ass with a rubber band everyday. He never even got mad. Damn, I miss those days. I say we declare today; National Shoot Someone in the Ass with a Rubber Band Day! Or NSSITAWARB Day!! I mean you get to pinch people on St. Pattys day!!

[DangerSeeker]

Land of the free...

[DarthMaulRat]

Last I heard, the school board developed a 'second rubber band' theory. As you can see, the teacher goes back, and to the left, back, and to the left...

[JK]

If you listen to the audio tape captured by the principal's microphone which was left open, you can clearly hear the twang of not only a second rubber band, but a third and fourth rubber band being fired.

I think this is kind of a bad idea. I had one of those little squishy stress balls at work a few weeks ago and decided to toss it at a co-worker as she went by. My every intention was to just bounce it lightly off of the back of her head. In an attempt to make the strike as soft as possible, I didn't put enough zing on it and it arced severely and struck her right in the ass. There was like 5 minutes of me apologizing to keep the MEO complaint from happening. It worked.

Of course, later that day I had a small balled up piece of paper and was gonna toss it to another female I work with. I thew it and at the last minute yelled out..."Catch!" She didn't and it went down the front of her shirt. Yeah, another five minutes of apologies was once again successful in keeping her from filing an MEO complaint.

Needless to say, but I am never going to throw anything else in the direction of a female co-worker again.

Oh, I failed to mention yesterday. About a week ago, I sent out a little video called "Chimps on Penguins" (http://agencychick.typepad.com/ad_hoc/files/chimponpenguins.wmv). Everyone loved it. Check it out at that link because it is hillarious. Anyways, this lady I work with had to go give a briefing to a lot of the top brass yesterday.

Before leaving she asked, "Should I eat one of those Cadberry Eggs before I go?"

I said, "What, with all that caramel inside?"

She said, "No the one with the white cream."

I said, "Oh, then you ca get it all over your face and when you show up for the briefing, they can say, "It looks as if you blew a seal.""

Yeah, she looked pretty shocked at that one. Got up to leave. When she walked by me she bumped me with her elbow and whispered, "You are disgusting."

So far there has been no MEO complaints....fingers crossed.

[Dave]

Rage, It seems like you are dangerously close to being called into the office for a repremand. control those impulses my friend.

[BAMSS04]

That is whats great about the rubber band. No one will know it was you. You don't have to apologize. Its like the sniper rifle of the office supply. You can hit at a distance and quickly. No one will ever know.

[Matthew]

If he got 10 days for a rubber band, what would the flicking penny get?

Worse yet.... THE OPENED VIAL OF RUBBER CEMENT

[JK]

I remember in my senior English class we'd occupy ourselves frequently by launching pencils into the ceiling with rubber bands. I guess nowadays, we'd have been expelled... or worse.

[ratm1966]

We would throw spit wads at the teacher while he was in the front of the class. Of course, his back was to us as he was writing on the board.

[JK]

In my trig class, we'd use the chalkboard compass and draw pentagrams with trig symbols all around it on the carpet for the cleaning lady to find... imagine what they'd do to us today...

The same goes with rubber bands and the office.. Be Patiant, slow. Pick a spot not a target. Aim small, miss small. Let tham come to you but make sure your in a room with at least 5 other people, for the most part they seem to always think something bit them. Everytime I shoot some one they go "Oouch!!" I always ask " What Happened"... every reply is the same, "I think a spider just bit me in the butt" or "Something bit me in the ass" it never fails.

*Edit* If you do this right you can shoot them three of for times before they think other wise...!

Anyway... Good luck.

[DarthMaulRat]

I always mastered the art of the straw and spitball. Distance, accuracy, it was a thing of beauty, not to mention it really sucked when you got hit by a spit soaked wad of paper. Of course, this reached perfection in high school when we found an ultra thin 5 foot pvc pipe that could launch spitballs all the way across the auditorium from our spotlight post in back.

[EternalStrife]

I have an uncle who can shoot down flies and small birds with a rubber band. I've seen him done it, and it is pretty cool. The flies not the birds. I think it would be cruel to shoot down birds with rubber bands. But remember, it's not the rubber bands that kill people.....

[karmattack]

See, my friends and I were the kind of shitheads who figured out how to make a dart blowgun out of a Bic pen.

1. Take the pen completely apart.
2. Find the little plastic cap for the back of the pen and flatten the lip on it.
3. Break a piece off of a paper clip and poke it into the end of the modified plastic piece to make a dart.
4. Obviously, use the main tube of the pen as the blowgun.
5. Chew and mold pieces as needed, for instance, to make a widened mouthpiece to blow into.

I've almost burst veins in my neck trying to blow out one of those darts, but the first time you get it to stick into the cover of a World History book, it's all worth it.

[FanGirl]

See, when I was a kid, I was the goody two shoes that would have ratted you all out. Thankfully, once I got out of Catholic school that all changed.

[DarthMaulRat]

Ah, yes, the dart. I experimented with that a few times, but we never used it on people. We eventually used our mega spit ball launcher with a nail-tipped pen that had fins attatched to it for stability. This took a lot of trial and error before it became aerodynamic, but this was stage crew and we had to find a way to kill the time. When we eventually launched the bad boy, it went straight through two thick curtains on the stage. We could've easily sunk that straight through someone's heart, which is why we decided to never do that again. Oh, plastic beads with rifling work wonders as well.

So, what you are trying to say is that when I shot my boss with a rubber band and only our two desks are in the office....that wasn't smart?

We used to get a needle or a stick pin and wrap scotch tape around the end so it would make a cone shape. They stick into people better. Of course, it is better to do it when you are walking the halls between class and there are gobs of people around.

[jjcourtright]

Sheriff was always the king of flicking pennies and beer caps...something that I've never mastered.

I was always the good kid, and yet, I was the one that got expelled for having a weapon in my locker.

My god. Makes me thankful I went to high school before all of these "zero tolerance" policies went into effect. I used to run around with a little cap-gun. The worst thing that happened to me, was having it confiscated, during lunch.

[jjcourtright]

Sorry, left for lunch today. How did you find that? I wouldn't have known what words to search for nor what topic it was under...freak!

[karmattack]

Um...

"expelled"?

/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

[DangerSeeker]

You put "expelled" and that's the first thing that came up? I'm oddly disappointed in us.

We'd take a rubber band and tie a string to it, pull the string through a pen tube, and put the band long-ways around the pen tube, so part of the band covered end. Pull the string to ready the band, drop projectile in, release. Spitballs, toothpicks, whatever.

Also, when at a restaurant, when somebody isn't looking drop a coffee stirrer into their straw. When they take a sip... HILARITY!!!

[FanGirl]

You know those McDonald's plastic salt and pepper shakers? You spin a penny and then slam one of shakers down on it. It'll crack the plastic base. The next person to pick it up will spill salt or pepper all over the table instead of their food. We were courteous vandals. We'd make a mess, but not ruin your food.

[/ QUOTE ] I got suspended for using an adjustable wrench to dismantle lockers. I'm sure plenty of people can beat that.

[Matthew]

I could never figure out the penny thing. I just used my bat to hit the dugout and breathe easy with the help of a little flame. That is how I made it through High-School.

[jjcourtright]

I ended up getting suspended three times in February. I even got suspended once while I was already suspended. Top that, bitches.

[Matthew]

I was expelled from my first high-school by punching the assistant principle.

In my second high school, I went into the computer, thinking I could change my grades. I then ended up deleting the whole database of everyones grades in the high school, costing the school $500 to recover them.

I did this from the in-school suspension computer (in-school for 3 days for throwing a stink-bomb), and was suspended for 2 weeks.

That kind of at least matches yours... suspended while suspended.

[karmattack]

Oh, you think you're SO cool don't you, JJ? What, with your slicked back hair, toothpick, and snake tattoo.



I...I think I love you.

[DangerSeeker]

One of my friends in high school had apparently just learned te salt / penny trick, and so he did it while we were all watching. We faked bored expressions, and asked "What's so funny about that?" He got frustrated and tried to explain. "Next time somebody goes to pick this up..." and demonstrated, right on cue. Lap full of salt. Oh, so great. Nothing will ever grow there.

[bwdial]

I stood up and said "that game sucks!" when I was in the third grade. I had to write "I will not use profanity in class" 500 times.
I guess I would get expelled for "hate speech" now.
You all are a bunch of mu-fu-gangstas.

[TLS]

I've gotten kicked out of Math class for saying the Mets suck. (My teacher was a big Mets fan)

[DangerSeeker]

I remember being taken home from kindergarden, and my mom explaining on the way that I shouldn't use words like "shit" in school.

[FanGirl]

When I was in pre-school, my mom couldn't pick me up afterschool so she asked my to use his lunch break to come pick me up. My dad was a uniformed police officer at the time so he swung by in his police car, threw the cuffs on me and put me in the back seat. While my dad and I thought this was hilarious and oh so much fun, my teacher and the principal who didn't know that was my dad didn't find it funny and my mom got a call at work saying that her daughter had just been arrested.

[karmattack]

Why do you always have to have the cool life?! GAH! /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif

[jjcourtright]

There's no way that "sucks" was in the grade school vernacular when I was in third grade...what are you 12?

[JK]

I remember way back in kindergarten, I got sent home for a day because I told some kid that he laughed like Woody Wood Pecker. To this day, I just don't understand why.

[ozchick]

I once got kicked out of Italian class in Year 7 for poking my tongue out at the teacher. My normal teacher walked by as I was sitting on the bench outside, asked why, I told him and he just laughed and said he didn't believe it and kept on walking. Thats how big a goodie two shoes I was in primary school! Pathetic, I know.

[jjcourtright]

What the fuck is Year 7?

[Matthew]

Equal to our 6th grade?

[jjcourtright]

That was way too polite of a response to my rude question.

Edit:...and now I see your question mark.

[ozchick]

Its the year of school between years 6 and 8!

Its the last year of primary school. Obviously our school system is a bit different to yours so here's the basics of it:

Pre-primary or Kindergarten (&lt;5 years of age)
Primary School - Years 1 - 7 (ages 6 - 12)
High School - Years 8 - 12 (ages 13 - 17)

Hope this clears things up for you /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

[ratm1966]

Still too polite of a response.

[ozchick]

Sorry I'm generally a nice person... but.... Hey JJ - Fuck off muthafucker - do some farking research you ignorant prick! The USA isn't the only farking country in the farking world you know!

/forums/images/icons/grin.gif That was fun!

EDIT: So you can say 'fuck' but not 'fu.cking'!

[Matthew]

correct!

How about ass and hole, but no ass*hole.

[karmattack]

I actually like ass*hole better than the word alone. It's graphically accurate.
