      I was somewhere... I don't remember where..
      but they were "launching" shirts into the audience
      what they did was, they had a sort of sling shot type dealy..
      where two guys would hold it, one on one end, and then the 3rd guy had the shirt and would pull it back and let er rip

      watching random objects being projectiled through the air is entertaining enough w/o having a purpose for the act, so yea it was great


      perhaps the t-shirt flingers this year can get some bungee cords andor some sort of elastic something or other and rig something like that up eh, might be cheaper than the c02...

      anyways I lost my train of thought.. oh well

          please.. don't steal the lightbulbs again...

          true true..
          I keep forgetting who we're talking about here..

          I've been listening to the lectures from last year to sorta get a feel for what it'll be like in a way..
          seriously! like the 4th or 3rd one (now I don't know how they were determined to be in this order) has like the guy coming around interupting the lectures like all
          <paraphrase>
          you guys are hosers, seriously! one would think that the maturity level would be up higher than to go around stealing light bulbs and the like.. but obviously not, we would have expected you to be hacking x instead of stealing soap dispensers...
          </paraphrase>
          I was like omg! why on earth?! ...

          and although I found it quasi funny, I was rather surprised
          my impression of how dc will be keeps changing w/ every new thing i read/hear...
          I know that it's not going to be anything like I'm expecting, and will be probably very surprised...

            DT and/or Priest usually grace us with a few lectures throughout the con about dorks who are doing stupid things and expect not to get caught...

            ... and about the expectations...
            Muhahaha... you are very correct. :) <evil echo in the background>

              I remember Priest at one of the meetings giving a speech that he was wondering how long we would act like adults, and of course we did not let him down with our antics. Then he made us happy again by outing two NSA dudes.

                Priest is one hilarious mo to the fo. I remember the first time I saw him telling everyone to stop being idiots... or when he replies to the crowd... excellent and humorous demeanor. I especially love the emphasis on his usage of the word "Sir":)

                  That might be part of the problems... Maybe some people just act like idiots just to get Priest to do a funny speech!

                    Also nothing beats when Priest does spot-the-fed and helps interrogate the suspected fed. Though the people I suspect always suck.

                        Possibly.... I think that I ask the wrong questions, and it just sucks from there...

                          You gotta be smooth, suave, lead them down the garden path, then get them cornered. I guess you don't get a shirt if you're wrong?

                            Oh yeah if you fail to Spot the Fed you get two things, and in this order:
                            Jack
                            -and-
                            Shit

                            :) Also the feeling of lameness...

                            The easiest way to spot them is that they all hang out together... but you need to prove that they are, or they have to admit that they are... and picking their pockets isn't the way to go with that idea.

                              Picking their pockets may work, but geting handcuffs slapped on you would be a sure giveaway. Contrary to what TV shows teach, they do not have to admit to who they are either.

                              Hey that confetti launcher, I wonder if it can handle paint balloons, mmmmm.

                                Yeah the easiest giveaway is on the first day that someone spots a fed, see who that guy hangs out with... then try to find out more about who they are... like if you hear a name or something... from there it could be SE all the way... of course it could get a little gray... but there have been people that have not admitted to anything... and therefore was not spotted by technicality.
