to dig a pit and disguise it with twigs and branches and wait for people to walk along and fall into the pit, and then leap out and throw things at them?

And to think that the people who fall into my pit are too silly and they deserve to fall into my pit and have rotten vegetables thrown at them?

Good idea - completely sane.

TheHonEnid · 13/03/2008 14:27

surely better to hide in a tree and pelt from there?

iheartdusty · 13/03/2008 14:27

may I set up a filter system
so that I can choose who goes your way and who gets diverted past?

can you come and do it round here?

lollipopmother · 13/03/2008 14:27

Where abouts is your pit, because I think it'd be unreasonable to put it in a disabled parking bay for instance, that's just too easy, but if you put it in a normal parking space for instance that would be fine!

Joolyjoolyjoo · 13/03/2008 14:28

Why don't you line the pit with rotten veg, thus saving yourself the the time and energy involved in pelting?

Iota · 13/03/2008 14:28

don't bother with the rotten veg - the traditional way is to line the bottom of the pit with sharpened stakes

keepcalmandcarryon · 13/03/2008 14:29

YANBU. Can we suggest things to throw? Dirty nappies? Gone off milk? Brussel sprouts?

fryalot · 13/03/2008 14:29

YABU

Think of the environmental impact of the rotting vegetables. All that... chemically stuff being released into the atmosphere.

You should throw sticks at them instead.

Can't believe you considered that boco... I thought more of you.

bran · 13/03/2008 14:29

Is there a new thread challenge that I have somehow missed?

Don't forget to put pointy sticks at the bottom of the pit, so they will be too injured to dodge the rotten veg.

scottishmummy · 13/03/2008 14:30

i suppose if i could chose who i got to stay in the pit with - mebbe.oh and who to exclude

ratbunny · 13/03/2008 14:30

what a great idea!
can I join in?

girlfrommars · 13/03/2008 14:30

I have some carrots that are past their best if that would help.

Sparkletastic · 13/03/2008 14:30

hellooooooooo can anyone hear me? I seem to be at the bottom of a pit....

OrmIrian · 13/03/2008 14:30

Or a fierce wild animal. In the pit I mean. That way you'd be benefitting the local wild life.

But I have to ask, why?

Boco · 13/03/2008 14:31

I knew this was a good idea.

minouminou · 13/03/2008 14:31

and then when you're bored, chuck a pogo stick in, and watch them all duke it out to grab it
you could open a book on it

LynetteScavo · 13/03/2008 14:31

Yes, you are bing very unreasonable.

madamez · 13/03/2008 14:32

Surely far more entartaining to lurk in the pit on a trampoline and leap out yelling 'GROOOOOOOGH' enthusiastically whenever anyone walks past. Bonus points if they actually shit themselves.

Sparkletastic · 13/03/2008 14:34

Don't worry about me - am busying myself making a nutritious soup from all the rotten vegetables in here. Could someone throw in some stock cubes please?

lollipopmother · 13/03/2008 14:34

I really want to do a name-change and have a go at a 'seriously pissed off' post about how the f*ck would you feel if you fell down a pit because I have before and it's not a joking matter, but I just don't think I could pull it off!
