Chucking stuff at people

[STN]

is really funny isn't it? When I was younger I lived in this amazing townhouse that was really tall with a shielded roof and me and my flatmate would sit up there hurling vegetables and water bombs at people. Good times.

I haven't chucked anything at anyone for years...

 

[crackerjack]

that's just nasty

i shot a 4-year-old with his own water pistol last year. that was cool and instructive

Someone threw a water balloon at me and my girlfriend the other day. It missed though and it was a sunny day so I wasn't that bothered. When I used to live near Brick Lane the local kids used to throw rotten eggs so a water balloon on a sunny day seems fairly benign.

I think the last thing I chucked at anyone was when I pelted my cousin with beer cans last summer.

 

[STN]

yeah, it was always a sunny day, otherwise it's a massive liberty.

I wasn't the author of your girlfriend's waterbombing.

It's especially gratifying when the target's a DJ or musician, but one of the funniest incidents I recall was when a female member of some communist faction had to flee a hail of cheese and onion mini-quiches at QMW college sometime in the mid-90s.

yea when we was @ the tate modern for a trip back in school, my mate lobbed a stone high high HIGH up in the air, randomly, as we walked further across the PACKED lunch area outside we then came in contact with an old woman who's face was pissing of blood & had about 3 different people consolling her. I am in no way condoning this & my view on the event to this day stays impartial.

Study the picture of supermodel Fabio's face, after he got hit by the goose on the rollercoaster.

That's the look every waterbomber in a fast-moving car wants to etch onto their victim's face. When it happens, it's beautiful.

the dairy where i grew up used to leave all of their expired products out in the open where any well-organized group of teens with cars could easily cultivate it.

 

[alex]

nomos you reminded me that CO-OP used to leave out of date still sealed food in the bins behind it, so when we wernt cotchin & bunnin we were throwing Baugettes & sausages at eachother/old bill/cars/windows.....(and yes old ladies)

but chucking balloons is amateur. launchers are the real deal. though they can attract a heavy police response.

@ alex: a cantaloupe will put a hefty dent in a car door panel

My mate once threw a cone of chips at Mick Jones.

"I wasn't the author of your girlfriend's waterbombing."

I didn't suspect you for a second. It was quite cool though, I felt like a bodyguard, first there was the explosion (admittedly of water) and both of us froze until I reacted first and, guessing what had happened, shouted "move" and dragged the stunned victim onwards out of range.

"Study the picture of supermodel Fabio's face, after he got hit by the goose on the rollercoaster."

Thanks for reminding me of this.

It's that DIY charm though. There was a kid at our school who used to defaecate with the toilet roll stretched below his back passage, so he could wrap his nightsoil up like a mini-parcel and then throw it out of the toilet window onto terrified pupils in the playground below.

My mate once threw a cone of chips at Mick Jones.

Did he fall to his drainpiped knees and start gobbling the scattered chips from the pavement like a big, ugly pigeon?

 

[STN]

lamentably the cone of chips missed and I don't think he ever knew what hadn't hit him.

Anyone been the victim of this backfiring, when some lunatic victim besieges your house? I haven't, but I know people it's happened to.

 

[alex]

ok, i was phlemed (yes phlemed) at once by a passign transit, lucky for me i ducked

 

[empty mirror]

on Wire's live double album Document and Eyewitness, you can hear beer bottles shattering----a result of the audience pelting the band with same

i am not a fan of chucking stuff at people but i understand it is a fact of life

has anyone mentioned projectile milkshakes yet, or is that too bourgeoise?
