If you dont like it, as we've said before, piss off. `O_o' Part One: Setting the Mood `O_o' ( ) ( ) U oop ack! U [If you don't get the obvious reference to Bill the Cat here, piss off again.] Here is some inspirational music for you a la Count Nibble, albeit a bit more on the destructive side. See? You need not be punk to do these things! Won't the Neon Knights be relieved to find out they won't have to give up Midnight Mass at the Black Church? DIO: I Speed at Night IRON MAIDEN: Running Free, Prowler JUDAS PRIEST: Breaking the Law, Genocide, Some Heads Are Gonna Roll KROKUS: Stay Awake All Night, Ballroom Blitz, Headhunter, Eat the Rich Try to get the live versions whenever possible. Admit it, there's something mildly thrilling about hearing cheers and applause while you reduce a house to a fine heap of rubble and you know it... `O_o' Part Two: Setting it Up `O_o' ( ) ( ) U oop ack! U Make plans well ahead of time, with your friends, or the members of your political party. (All right, quit pointing that gun at me and I won't say another word about Communism...) To get the most out of your outing, you need a car. I myself like the exercise, added challenge, and versatility of walking, but it's a pain to carry all your shit in a backpack. A car admittedly speeds things up, and adds the fun of a car chase at the end. (Ever play "Chicken" with five cops and a steam shovel? I have...) What's the best number of people for this kind of outing? No more than 7. 7 is a lucky number, and more than 7 creates a lot more noise, especially after most of the car's occupants have had a few belts and are feeling playful enough to want to attempt to ride up the steps of the courthouse at 80 MPH. Keep things simple, there's plenty of time to get rowdy AFTER you've had your fun. (This number does not take into account any beavers you might happen to pick up on your way. Just toss 'em in the trunk. They'll keep there for months. `O_o' Part Three: Downtown `O_o' ( ) ( ) U oop ack! U Downtown is the best place to start. Start at the very center, where most likely there will be a park or a high-rise shopping mall. ("Suburbia? Gee, what's that? We don't have anything this Neet-O in my town...") (Of course not, dickweed, you come from a town so small I could annilihate it in less than three hours...) If there's a parking ramp, go into it. Aw gee, there's a gate blocking the way! Can't have that, can we? Drive right through it (try not to get splinters on your expensive clothes and delicate skin) and cruise around the lower levels smoking weed, drinking, and looking for cars that are parked there overnight. When you find one, position it so it's on the edge of that one incline that goes ALL the way down to the street, give it a push, and jump back in the car and try to beat it down. If you don't, use another car until you can rightfully call yourselves the racing champions of the parklot. If you're lucky and can find an expensive limo, destroy it in a rage because it's so much better than your car. Paint inside and out, license plates ripped off and sold to Mexican immigrants at a HUGE profit margin, windows smashed, and doors battered in! Don't you feel so much better now that you've worked off all those unhealthy hostilities? Oh, almost forgot; take the radio too. And back out to the street, where you head for the all night cafes. Go through the drive-ins at all the MacLands around until you find one that's being staffed by a good looking female. Offer her a ride. If she demurs, get fed up and just all of you jump on at once, tie her up, and drive away. The manager shouldn't object, those nighttime workers get less than minimum wage anyway. Okay, the downtown area will now be avoided by all for quite a while. Time to move out to the rich residential area, otherwise known as the Burbs. `O_o' Part Four: Suburbian Disaster `O_o' ( ) ( ) U oop ack! U Okay, out in this part of town there are a lot of dogs and old ladies, so turn the headlights down low and drive SLOW. Here, you have to be very quiet for the first 90% of your mayhem spree, so it will go unnoticed until you're ready to leave. Don't fret, there are plenty of quiet things to do. A plastic garbage bag makes almost NO noise being sliced open, and the garbage inside can fall all over someone's lawn without being heard. Paint makes almost no noise being applied to a house or car, and neither does the placement of many sharp tiny objects around people's tires. A really mean thing to do is find one of those houses that have a HUMONGOUS glass window that covers almost a whole wall, and spray paint every inch of it in jet black, so no light can get through. That's the most spectacular method, anyhow; it can be done just as well or better by painting ALL the windows black. Then cut the power lines to that house so their alarm doesn't go off. Then find their water pump (all suburbians have one, as they are very health-conscious) and spike it with equal parts of Demerol, Valium, and Marax (a very potent CNS depressant). Find a house with kids; you can tell these by looking in the garage and seeing a He-Man Masters of the Universe Cycle or (even worse, but yes, they do exist) a Cabbage Patch Kid Cycle. Whatever happened to good ol' generic Big Wheels? Look around through windows until you find the kiddies' room. Write nasty words in reverse so they can be read the right way from inside. Tape up center folds from Hustler (or Playgirl for the gals). Now, an old person's house. These are also easy to find, they are the ones with an American flag flying (trash it, or keep it for room decoration), elaborate gardening sets with nice little orderly patterns of different kinds of flowers (rip them all out and plant pot and ragweed), quaint mottos hanging over the doorway (replace with "Fuck Neighbors and Salesmen"), and radial TV antennas (QUIETLY remove and keep for decoration or nail animal bodies to the side of a house with it). All mellowed out now? No? Well, now that you've done all this, you don't want to leave until you can see the expressions on their faces. A nice tried-and- true method is to take a regular phone, and hook it up to an external plug (bring a modular adaptor if necessary) and call 911, saying whatever you want. While you're waiting for the cops to arrive, start at one end of the street and drive down it, trailing gas all the way. Light this, and start making a lot of noise (honk the car horn, break windows, scream and shout, whatever). Do this for as long as you feel safe, then TAKE OFF, and disappear into the night. (I always was one for dramatic exits...) (c) 1986 A Three Sheets to the Wind Production
