My
boyfriend Richard and I were setting up a
fireworks prank in the hallway of the
gym at the
college. We were eating
M&M's and some were part of the prank. Once it's set, we go out the
back door and wave the
team of "
ninja skateboarders" to do their part and they start climbing from the back of the
van and skating around to the front of the gym.
Satisfied that all will go well, we walk
away.
We come around the side of a building and start walking between it and one of the fields. A group is shooting skeet behind us. I turn and shout invectives at them for being stupid and reckless. We continue, eventually making a right turn around another building. One of the toadies of the group has come up behind us and jumps up on Richard's back. He is about to do something when I look him straight in the eye and tell him if he tries it, I'll beat the shit out of him. He obviously believes me as he slowly gets off of Richard and backs against a fence. I explain to him that if he or any of his friends do anything I'll report them. I let him know that I used to be involved in shooting and know what the laws are and that they are breaking quite a few, one of them being a federal offence. He crabs his way along the fence back the way he came, eying me warily. After a few yards, he run off a ways, and with false bravado yells at me. I yell back that if anyone messes with us, I'll beat the shit out of them, too, and I'll hunt him down specifically to beat the shit out of him. He runs off.
I'm at
home,
online,
logged into E2. I pull up the
node for the
Java Chatterbox. It still isn't
loading properly, so I
right-click on the
java frame and reload it. Once it's reloaded from that point, it works
fine. I
try this out with
Netscape and
Internet Explorer several times to be certain that it works
consistently. I let the
people of E2 know of my
discovery.
