Trust me, jumping out of your car and going "Bottle, glass, glass, bottle...ahahaha" whilst wearing a fez, isn't going to win this girl over.

Make sure it's a big bottle of diet coke, and at least 6 mentos.

1 x Mint imperial + 1 x lit candle + 1 x thumb + 1 x retard = fking agony.

The results so far are pretty conclusive.

Pretty good illusion, not exactly a party piece though...

Experiment:

1 roll of sellotape
1 pad post it notes


Unroll sellotape, put on desk, cover with post its.


Light.

Likely outcome: Evacuation of building, but it is an experiment (proving the flame retardant-or otherwise- properties of sellotape and erm, post it notes)

During the summer see if you can flick rubber bands into the rarely used halogen uplighters on your office wall. Completely forget you've done it, during winter when it gets a bit darker switch on rarely used halogen uplighters. Create lovely burning smell & nearly set fire to the office.

This may have happened in my office this week, I may have had something to do with it

Using fishing wire, tie the office tt's keyboard to his chair. Paaaang, clatter. Point and laugh, in a childish way.

Log onto target's computer and replace background image with "cracked LCD" image, screen lock the computer, turn off screen saver energy thing so its always on, then remove keyboard and mouse.

Add a second mouse to target's computer. Slowly, slowly, everso slowly move his cursor around, but only when he is using his mouse. He will think he has some mental in his head.

Little bit of black shoe polish on the earpiece of target's phone...

A little trip wire, not to trip target up but to propel various things around a bit. The beauty of this is you can use as much or as little as you like. Tie one end of wire to suitable hardpoint ie desk or floor shelving. The wire then goes across the floor, pivots around something, up to the desk around the "propellant". This can be anything from just a book, up to computer monitor, stacks of files, a randomly placed mug of coffee...

Glue mug to desk, infact, glue anything to the desk - funny

Drill a 1mm pilot hole through the bottom of mugs - again, funny!

"Post it" someones desk, completely. Everything, down to the mouse, chair, picture of the kids etc


No, I am not bored, sitting at work, waiting for Christmas, much!

Not advisable in a small office though - I've used 12g blank grenades at CQB airsoft sites (before they banned anything larger than 9mm) and it is painful in the extreme tongue out

Although it could be funnny...

Set alight to some nuts ( the ones you eat )

They have such a high amount of energy for a small size they do go off bigtime!

If it includes FIRE you get an extra win

Shut the blank end of a match in a tray of matches so that it's sticking out at an angle, lean another match up against it so match head touches match head (I guess so that the whole thing looks like the leg of a spider, with the matchbox as the body: /\__) and put a pound coin under the second match. Now challenge someone to take the coin without making the matches fall over. The way to do it is to whip out a lighter and set FIRE to the match heads. It'll make a nice sound and burn like mad and amongst the flames the second match will lift completely in the air like a crane and you can take the coin out smile
