Making our displeasures known...

I was merging on to the 15 along with everyone else in line at 4:15pm when a blue SUV zoomed, braked, and turned from a lane going straight and squeezed onto the on-ramp. Then I saw a white car do the same. All the way till I actually got on the freeway I fantasized about the logistics of an egg launcher. I visualized me aiming a mini-bazooka-like-thing at the assholes' cars and watching the lovely egg wash cover their clean exterior.

On the way home, I discussed this with L. I thought maybe instead of an egg-launcher, I could made a ketchup-packet launcher where the packets will pop on contact. These various launchers don't need that much range or accuracy. A car is a pretty big target. For the ones who cuts people off on the freeway or local streets or the ones who cut lines, I'd say 50ft is fair. L thought that eggs would make better projectiles since they have more weight. However, they are more delicate than ketchup packets. I suggested a modified version of a supersoaker. Again, the problem is the eggs breaking inside the barrel.

L then suggested modifying the front of the car where the bumper is with a row of paintball guns. The car in front won't even know what hit them till later. I think it goes too easy on the driving jerks since paintballs wash off too easily. Plus, I'd have to get behind them to do this.

I then thought of darts that carry messages. "Yes I saw what you did you asshole." Something along those lines. The problem there would be making sure they stick to the car so they'll get the message.

When we turned the last corner before hitting home, I realized I've spent way too much time fantasizing about it. In the end, I'll be more pissed when somebody uses my invention/idea on me injudiciously. Still, egg on car is a lovely thought.
