#1006 – Ping

I always thought suction-cup-dart guns were cool but the darts were not very aerodynamic. I had to stand very close to the target because the darts lost speed too quickly to hit anything more than a few feet away. Thus our favorite game was to watch TV and try to hit the people on whatever sitcom or game show happened to be on. I can still hear that satisfying “ping” sound when the dart landed perfectly on those old picture tube televisions.

    This reminds me of a picture I saw the other day of a toy bear whose head was sewn on sideways and a leg was attached to his head. 😛

    Ok, so I’m NOT the only one who did that. Sweet.

    *Snnneerrrkkkk*

    I wish I’d thought of that.

    And you thought corporate managers saw wierd stuff, wait till you hear what the Doctor saw 😛

    “Improving boring situations” week maybe?

  6. The Dukenator says:

    Why does Biff remind me of Angus Young’s Devil’s Horns on the Highway to Hell album cover?

    Right, shooting a LED TV is way harder, they don’t have enough inertia.

    You know out there somewhere, somebody is paintballing their TV. You know, I kinda like that idea. Perfect for the evening news.

    He reminds me one Remade woman from Miéville’s Perdido street station:)

    Well, hey, this way, if a mugger tells Biff to ‘reach for the sky’, he’s ready!

  11. Stephen says:

    It’s better if you’ve seen what you’re watching before hand. That way you can pretend you were the one who shot that sheriff’s pants off in Scooby Doo Meets the Boo Brothers.

  12. jwalters93 says:

    heh, it’s a “things made better” week. i’d bet on it.

  13. Mophtran says:

    I bet shooting most tvs nowadays would be pretty expensive. Plus, I doubt the dart would even stick!

  14. Avrin the AWESOME says:

    My doctor would SO love me if I did this. He has a great sense of humor…then again, I don’t see why all doctors don’t…I would have to if I were a doctor..o-o;; Dealing with so many people day in and day out..
    Ah, forgive my rambles.

  15. steve-o says:

    “Things on Biffs head that should not and would not ordinarily have been on Biffs head” week. Definitely.

  16. Linzleh says:

    Biff’s doc must be pretty broad minded… heads up week?

  17. Somnule says:

    If I were Biff’s doctor I’d be worried about his lack of ears.

  18. Cinematic says:

    Somehow its not the arms on his ears that hurts my head, but the t-shirt with the flowers on it *continues scratching head*

  19. Chris says:

    That’s not a t-shirt, it’s the wonderful hospital gown he was asked to put on. Originally the view was going to be from much farther away so you could see he was sitting on the exam table with his legs sticking out of the bottom of the gown but I decided to zoom in on his head instead.

  20. Swim-master-bastard says:

    I was having a bad day and this made me laugh.

  21. The Dukenator says:

    @Chris Why couldn’t Biff be wearing a Hello Kitty hospital gown?

  22. Tech says:

    A man enters the doctors office with a frog growing out his ear. The doctor says “What happened?” The frog replied; “it started with a wart on my bum.”

  23. Marscaleb says:

    This one made me chuckle.
