Cubical warfare

I am so getting one of these

ThinkGeek :: USB Missile Launcher

USB controlled missle launcher.

If I worked in a cubicle I'd get one.

Phantom · 10-12-2006, 02:51 PM

that's awesome!

I just ordered my free USB-powered heated coffee mug yesterday. Maybe I can put one of these next to it!

ThinkGeek has such aweome stuff

If the people in the cubes around me were a) ever here (they're managers and out in the field a lot) and b) more goofy ... I'd totally do that.

Hm, cool, but without being able to see the beam I'd rather wait until the price comes down.

Someone should set up some elaborate mirror system or some crap with a green laser pointer and the hilt of a sword and create a real life lightsaber IMO

its hard to see that you'd control any strategic routes, ..., except to the printers
would this enable you to threaten everyone?

also you seem vunerable in that you cant get to your seat without running the gauntlet of mant others

what is the range & payload?

can they be adapted to carry ink warheads for example

plus according to intell assesments scrums boat-plane fingy is no threat, ..., probably dodgy MK tech?

imind · 10-12-2006, 08:18 PM

this is sooooo much cooler. why provide them the knowledge of where your artillery is? they'll never know the puff of air is an actual act of war. deny! deny! deny!

though i gotta admit, being already able to control the weather in eastern asia with my computer, the missile launcher would be a nice addition, and powerful negotiating tool. why limit yourself to cubicle warfare? spread your wings.

The only advantage I would have would be that of superior fire power. No one else will have missles. That and the element of suprise.

does it come with a disguised bunker?

i fear you may start an arms race, ..., you will need many many such missiles for total intercubicle overkill

can you afford such a project?

suppose counter-measures are adopted?, ..., what is the price differential with, say, a golf umbrella?

i feel that management may declare you a rogue cubicle, ..., how will you immediae neighbours react, for they may get caught in he cross fire & engage in special ops

its a big step, to be considered carefully, ..., are you prepared for the consequences?

lastly, ..., the question must be asked, ..., in golf, what you go round in?

Well, an arms race would be great! I will just run a massive deficit and build up a stock pile of missles that could destroy the office several times over.
Then if management has a problem, I will simply declare it ineffectual and I will go it alone. I don't need thier approval to defend myself. IF they are not with me they are against me!
Golf?? GOLF!?! That sounds like a game for terrorists

best bet is to fill a bunch of balloons with helium and a slight amount of water or sneezing powder and float them up to the ceiling, then when they're over a target pick them off with a rubber band/paperclip so they burst on your unsuspecting prey.......

not that I've ever done that

where on the map is the stationary cupboard?

you must prevent elastic bands from falling into the hands of those with less resources
