Guarding the Bathroom

[BMWboy]

I get to guard the bathroom tonight, from 2-6 am. I will be hoping to catch the peron(s) responsible for my floors $400 cleaning fines. I am rather looking forward to doing this, since it will give me time to finish the book Debt of Honor by Tom Clancy. also, i want to get to assist in the sever beating of the people doing this to the bathroom. almost every morning, i, and the other 50 people on my floor wake up to a trash-covered bathroom floor, and with various objects in the trash can. if anybody wants me to get in a few punches for them, i will do my best to accomidate. respond before the next hour is up. I will also give an update on what (if anything) happens.

Kill them! KIll The Evil trash makers!
*mister e is not feeling well today

[BMWboy]

looks like I get a bit longer to watch the posts, there are enough people up that it can't be trashed without notice

EDIT(12:10)-They trashed the bathroom while we were all up!!!!!!!!!!!DAMNIT

[BMWboy]

bastards didn't show up, we deciced the ones who did it at 2:10 we not the usual ones, not enough stuff was messed up. oh well, I'll have to try again next week

[dylman]

Ah, the joys of student life. I'm so glad all that's behind me...

[eleet-2k2]

I dont have to worry about at least not for 3 yrs or so.

[pAk]

I don't know what you are worrying about, if that had happened when I was in halls we would have made sure that we trashed anyone elses floor for revenge, doesn't matter who's, just pick one. Anarchy rules in halls. people quickly learn.

[GoldenSphynx]

How the hell they still trashed it...werent u supposed to be on watch??? (but its still LMAO funny the way they still did it)

[Hunter]

Hey! BMWboy! is Debt of Honour a good book? what's it about?

Requirements
Styrofoam
Gasoline
Cordless Drill
Clamp
Light bulb

Instructions
Step 1.
Put lightbulb in vice by the threaded metal end and carefully drill a small hole in the glass, just where the metal meets it.

Step 2.
Half fill a cup with gasoline, and mix in styrofoam until you get a gooey mixture. This is not too dissimilar from napalm.

Step 3. Carefully fill up the lightbulb with this mixture, being careful not to damage the filament within.

Step 4. Making sure the power is off (this bit is important, assuming you like your hands), replace the existing bulb with your one.

Step 5. Warning all your friends of the consequences, head to bed with your book, and get some rest like any normal person would.

Step 6. Get up, check bathroom for smouldering corpse.

Isnt this a little too extreme...but hey...they deserve...thanks ethan for my next april fools prank next year!!

[binary hero]

or you could just sit there, with a large (preferably unwashed) dog, a shotgun and a box of shotgun shells.

[Bilbo Baggins]

Fucking yes Ethan, just fucking yes

I am so gonna do that do my school

[Merlin]

Agreed on that one

Sweet. I like a bit of violence now and then...

Hmmmm...... it seems I've just started my own little militia in the space of an hour.......

[pAk]

I think we need to organise this. Designate proper tasks for individuals.

And we also need a target and aim...I suggest taking over the world

Ethan is obviously the leader seeing as it was his idea

I suggest another unused forum, like phish has done with the yearbook, from which we can secretly make our evil plans

[eleet-2k2]

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

[BMWboy]

I cant kill them, they need to stand accountable for our $1,000 housecleaning bill. but i would be willing to find new and inventive ways to beat the shit out of them

[Bilbo Baggins]

You could set a trap on the door, so that when they open the door, it swings down and clubs them.

[BMWboy]

excellent...*taps fingers like Mr. Burns*

If we cant catch them alive, we have to pay the bill, so we are just going to get the entire floor to help beat the crap out of the person(s) responsible. the we will call the proper authorities. "I swear officer, his limbs were broken when he walked in here."

[Muf!]

Anarchy!!!

What these Bitches want!!

Muf!

[Bass Evolution]

Napalm...pffft who needs napalm when you got nitro-glycerine..all you gotta do is, hmmm maybe I shouldnt say
(I really do know how to make NitroGlycerine )


Thats a nice trick u got ethan where did you learn that?

[stttafffy]

i think it was in some cookbook/handbook, i read it somewhere, but i forget where. it was the dame thing, but instead of drilling the glass, you heat where the glass is socketed into the metal, then twist off the bulb, fill with napalm, heat it again and put it back on, then BOOM :P

[SSJ4 Gogitta]

Ive posted the anarchy cookbook here before..

[Curi0us_George]

Old technique. It's been in movies.

Ethan, I don't think you should go telling these folks how to murder each other in horrible and disgusting ways. You'll be a co-conspirator.

By the way, BMWboy, have you thought about just trying to film them? Assuming that you have the compressed-fiber ceiling tiles, all you need to do is break a small corner off one (sorry, small price to pay) and set up a webcam. Run the wires to a room. I'm not sure what the laws are on that, but if nothing else, you can find out who it is and beat the shit out of them. Or, you could sit on watch in your room one night, watch for them on the camera, and as soon as they start, just "happen" to walk in on them . . . carrying a heavy, blunt object. Just don't mention the camera to the police / housing authorities when they arrive.

If you don't have ceiling tiles, look for somewhere else to hide the camera. Behind a radiator, under a sink, etc., etc. Just do a halfway decent job of conceiling it and they won't notice. Neither will the police, if they're not looking for it.

[stttafffy]

lets go put cameras in every bathroom! what about if you fill the cameras with napalm...

oh dear, look at how bored i am. time for fruity loops, then at 9 am ER comes on!!!!! i am so psyched, im gonna go get some bread to make toast with, and i am going to make some macaroni and cheese, and eat myself dumb. ill be having iced tea with it all, and i think some raspberry danish, IF my roomy put it in the downstairs fridge, or the one in his room, because he anticipated my intent to steal it.

[Curi0us_George]

stttafffy, I think you need some Ritlin.

By the way, you should definitely NOT put the camera where it can record someone actually using the bathroom as it was intended to be used. First off, friends and neighbors will think you're a perv. Second, if the police or someone with authority finds it, they'll think you're a perv and you'll be in deep shite.

[Bass Evolution]

yeahhh forget cameras...farrr to much trouble

I'd have to got the good ol' style of abush with trolley bars...make sure u got some big guys to hold em down and voila...
also a little pointer, put a phone book over the face, then u wont leave any marks
mwhaha im soo evil and twisted ....

[BMWboy]

this has been suggested, but it would not be cheap, we can set up a camera to look down on the trash can, without being able to see anyone using the bathroom/showering. I'm going to try this next week, but I'm only going to tell 5 people that I can trust. Last time he trashed the bathroom, the trasher left coors light cans in the bathroom, and there is only one kid who drinks coors light on my floor, so we are going to keep a close watch on his movements. and by the way, Debt of Honor is an excellent book, as is its sequel, Executive Orders. If you like Tom Clancy, These rank right up there with Hunt for Red October.

[Curi0us_George]

It'll be cheaper than 1000 dollars . . . . It shouldn't be too expensive though. You should be able to do it with any generic webcam. The hardest part will be getting long enough cords (ok, thouse won't be cheap). Maybe you can get a network-enabled webcam (I've seen them, but I don't know how much they cost) and tie it into the network. 50 feet of network cable will be a hell of a lot cheaper than a 50 foot USB cable.

[BMWboy]

if we could get the guy who lives closest to the bathroom to cooperate, it would be about 40 ft to his room, it would be over 100 to my room

[Curi0us_George]

I suppose you could actually setup a computer system above the ceiling tiles, but that's probably just asking for trouble. Maybe you've got a friend with a crappy, old laptop? Or you could check the pawn shops . . . . Get a crappy old computer that won't be any real loss if it falls off the struts and through the tiles, and pop a USB card into it if it doesn't already have USB support.

Maybe you could just get together some spare computer parts with friend and construct a PC without a case on the back of the tile.

Edit: I just did a quick search and didn't find any 50 ft. USB cables. I think the resistance is too high, so I think you'd need to have 2 20 ft cables with a powered hub in the middle. :-/ It's looking less realistic. Of course, if you've got spare computer parts, that, "PC without a case" would be simple to assemble. The only real problem is that if a janitor or someone saw it, you can be fairly sure it would be confiscated and you'd never see any of it again.

Guys,

do you have any idea of the shitheap that you are wading into, from a legal point of view, when it comes to putting cameras in bathrooms.

I'm sure the person in question won't mind paying $500 in cleaning bills when he's put in a claim for $20,000 for invasion of privacy. And he would be quite entitled to do so....

[BMWboy]

if he is caught trashing the bathroom, i dont think invasion of privacy means jack shit.

besides, the camera would only be able to see the trash can and nothing else, and it is a public bathroom

And they'll be well happy when your exploding lightbulb blows the shit out of them?

Probably not, but whereas your camera leaves behind a very pissed off witness, my idea doesn't leave behind much of anything, really...

[BMWboy]

I think I'll just stick with my first idea.

[patroclus22]

Its times like this that I'm glad I went to a commuter school.
I like your first idea--just beating the crap out of whoever's doing it. Just the threat of that happening might be enough to stop whoever's doing it, should the warning get out.

[BMWboy]

we don't want him or her to stop until we have proof of who is doing it. however, if you hear about an entire dorm floor getting arrested at the University of Delaware, you know what happened.
