Almost as good as Brown Note!

Awesome! But wait, there might be a drawback---the hippies might dip their keffiyehs in "skunk" spray in solidarity with their buddies.

Oh wait, not like anybody'd notice.

When does the whining start that this tactic is unfair?

How soon before the Palestinians start complaining that the Israelis are using chemical weapons, or start passing off propaganda from their doctors claiming that the stuff killed Palestinian kids who got a whiff of the stuff? I don't give it long at all.

But won't that make the milk in the tunnels all stinky?

re: #22 buzzsawmonkey

My brother was being bullied in elementary school. My father offered to bring back from the lab a chemical which, heated to body temperature, gave off a penetrating aroma of fresh dog crap.

The plan was that my brother would surreptitiously drop a few drops of this on the bully's seat. Heated to the proper temperature in minutes, it would cause him to stink for the rest of the day.

However, in transferring some of this to a small bottle, my father accidentally got a drop on his hands. The resultant stench made him abandon the plan, as he decided this was too powerful a weapon to trust to an elementary school student.

I was being bullied - my Uncle said - tell him you will come after him with a baseball bat or brick - when he least expects it. Kill me now or back off. I am still here 50 + years later.

Is that some new version of St. Pancake we see at the bottom of the article?

re: #17 zombie

Anybody who has any further details about the reality of the Brown Note, do post it here! I'm interested in following that story, if possible.

The "real story" as I have heard it: A couple of futurists/SF writers proposed it years ago at a LTL (Less than Lethal) conference. It would be the ideal LTL weapon because it would incapacitate the recipient, make identification fairly easy and cause them to leave the scene. A very small budget was set aside and the general consensus was that it wouldn't work, or would require absurdly large instruments that might also cause additional, permanent damage. TV aside I understand that no one is actually working on it.

Of course, I was more interested - and bloody appalled - by their experiment with the red head and torture.

Dead goat might be popular among Palestinians. Pigs, dogs, monkeys, and those of they they include in those categories would work best.

re: #54 Jetpilot1101

Ahem. It can be defeated, rather easily.

Chapstick smeared around your eyes - especially if you wear glasses; carry a vinegar soaked square of cotton gauze (the half-inch thick bandage variety) in a ziplock bag, and slide it into any folded piece of cotton cloth. Wear any kind of gloves, long sleeves and long pants (and if you're at a protest in sandals, you're an idiot), and you can laugh at pepper spray.

It's sad, actually. The bookstores I used to go to, Moe's and Cody's and The Other Change of Hobbit, are mostly gone, moved away from Telegraph. The Other Change of Hobbit remains on Shattuck, but that's about it for downtown Berkeley any more.

Reparations By Another Name

'I consistently believe that when it comes to . . . reparations," Obama recently told a gathering of minority journalists, "the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds."

A few days later, he clarified his remarks, saying he's not calling for direct cash payments to descendents of slaves, but rather indirect aid in the form of government programs that will "close the gap" between what he sees as white America and black America.

He says government should offer "universal" programs — such as universal health care, universal mortgage credits, college tuition, job training and even universal 401(k)s — that "disproportionately affect people of color."

In other words, reparations by another name.

I was talking to an Atlanta police sergeant the day after the Olympic bombing there in '96. He was chuckling to himself. That aroused my curiosity. I asked him what was so funny. He said he had been on duty at Centennial Park the night before—it had been truly horrific. A large group of reporters had crowded in the way of ambulances and would not disperse. Then he said he got to do something he had always wanted to do—he gave his men the order to spray the reporters down with pepper spray and arrest any stragglers. He said he really enjoyed doing that.

re: #13 tedzilla99

It's a tossup on which is worse: skunk or patchouli.

How about this plant?

re: #168 lifeofthemind

Tomato juice should be drunk. Slathering it on your dog - or yourself - does nothing much for the skunk smell, and requires a special kind of kink to see as sexy. I know that I lack this particular kink, and have never met anyone with it - for which I am everlastingly grateful.

The 2% stuff they sell in the drugstore would need an incredible quantity reduced quite a lot to make TTAP. So, if you have skunks nearby, buy a bottle and keep it handy.

re: #178 The Other Les

yep that's what I was going for

re: #77 really grumpy big dog Johnson

When people talk about horrific torture, it reminds me of the wife who abandoned me at the top of the Rockies with no money and wearing a t-shirt, shorts and sandals. I had to walk fifteen miles in sub-20 temperatures in the dead of the night just to reach a place where I might be able to hitch a ride. If I wasn't the stubbornest cuss you ever saw, I think I would have died that night.

No wonder you're really grumpy!

re: #180 Dianna
Actually, you have to cook down the HO to I believe 35%? to make it useable for TAPT. But that stuff is so unstable that even the terrorists are afraid of it. Have to keep it cold or just your breath can set it off. Not great in an effin' desert country.

But while doing my initial search for the list I found this:

Daily Affirmations for your Inner Pirate

Stuart Smalley's Daily Affirmations for the Inner Pirate

Monday:
"I'm going to rape and pillage today just for the heck of it because, gosh darn it, I deserve to have a good time."

Tuesday:
"I am not a fraud, a thief yes, but not a fraud."

Wednesday:
"I deserve all the loot and booty I can carry without feeling ashamed or being grandiose."

Thursday:
"I will express my feelings today. I will not hide them behind my eyepatch. My eyepatch is not a mask for my feelings, but rather a small swatch of leather that covers a hideous scar."

Friday:
"When I overtake that merchants vessel, I will not be playing those parent tapes in my head: "You wield a cutlass like a girl" . . . "Why can't you be more like Blackbeard's son?" . . . "Philosophy? What kind of major is that? It's useless!"

Saturday:
"Just because I indulge in wine and wenches does not mean I'm an alcoholic sex-addict like my father."

Sunday:
"If I must violently put down a mutiny today, it is not because I am a bad person or that I am not worthy of love; it is because my crew are a bunch of yellow-bellied, lily-livered sons-of-whores--and I am mean enough, ruthless enough, and dog gone it, people fear me."

Almost as much fun as making your own nitroglycerin!

To say nothing of those moments when a fly lands on your home-made black powder.

Y'all are making me nostalgic for my childhood... I managed to keep all my fingers and eyes somehow.

actual conversation when family friend was was caught extracting nitro for a safe job at his sisters' house;

..."YOU S.O.B.! MY CHILDREN ARE IN THIS HOUSE!"

"...........(mumbles)..................."

"AND YOU'RE DRUNK!"
"..hell yeah, I'm drunk. If I was sober, I would shake, and we wouldn't want that.."

Whoops. A foul stench of a different kind kills two Palestinian smugglers bringing fuel into Gaza from Egypt.

Where's a well placed match when you need one?

Charles, I think you might want to change that link from [Link: www.isreaellycool.com...] to [Link: www.israellycool.com...]

Right now the two basically take people to the same place, but once they've posted something new, it won't anymore, which might leave people reading this story in a few days scratching their heads over what you're on about.

My source for this was the "Curious George" cartoon show. If you can't trust that then who can you trust?

Now you are questioning the wisdom of TSA. You go to far Lady. Pistols at dawn.

re: #22 buzzsawmonkey

My brother was being bullied in elementary school. My father offered to bring back from the lab a chemical which, heated to body temperature, gave off a penetrating aroma of fresh dog crap.

The plan was that my brother would surreptitiously drop a few drops of this on the bully's seat. Heated to the proper temperature in minutes, it would cause him to stink for the rest of the day.

However, in transferring some of this to a small bottle, my father accidentally got a drop on his hands. The resultant stench made him abandon the plan, as he decided this was too powerful a weapon to trust to an elementary school student.

Probably was 3-methyl-1H indole.
