Re: “Will Your Tastes Change?”

Heh, at least anarchist emblem tattoos are relatively 'timeless'.

Justin Bieber ones, on the other hand...

Re: “Ignorant concert goers”

Nothing like a good teflon / silicone release agent coating to find some car-jumping douche with a broken leg next to your ride after a show.

Re: “Do it under the bus”

For oblivious drivers, I find this little modification to be the best approach.

Re: “Where's your ladder?”

Point. If stupidity was deadly, there would be a whole lot less people around.

Then again, with the anti-vaccine crowd, it may happen sooner or later.

Not quite. The novel was really more about recognition of 'higher' culture (literature, stuff that makes you think) as a threat to the power of the state, leading to institutionalized repression and destruction of said literature and the changing roles of 'firemen' after building became for every intent and purpose fireproof.

My idea is simply meant as a deterrent against an activity that's illegal for very good reasons (if shit happens, they're endangering others by preventing the fire crew from doing their jobs) and as a stress-relief for fire crew / practice for wrecking shit with an axe or using the Jaws of Life.

Re: “Where's your ladder?”

I have to wonder why firemen aren't actively encouraged to smash up cars parked in fire lanes even when they don't need said fire lane right away. Would make a good deterrent and a good stress-relief for said firemen.

Re: “Triage honey boo boo”

I'll second what Reg said and extend it to most valid reasons for going to the ER. Being in enough pain (or bleeding enough) to consider going there tends to make people cranky. If they're not cranky, it's usually because they're too zoned out by whatever the problem is.

Heck, only time I've gone there in the last decade or so was because of 3-4 inches of missing scalp. You want plentiful blood? Try using a metal window frame as a potato peeler, with your skull as the potato.
