I wish someone would tell the UCLA kids downstairs about this. There was silly string all over the floor near the mailboxes last night.

Oh man I remember all the hard times that being hooked on SS brought me. It took years of Silly String Anonymous meetings for me kick the habit. I support this sign.

Be very glad that it is silly string (?) and not large bags of fragrant dog shite or pig slop....or layers of nearly fresh cow pies, stacked, soaked in Kerosene and lit on fire.

Which reminds me:

- Have I told you all the tale when we were Seniors in High School....it involved a calf, a large dose of Ex-Lax and turning the poor beast loose inside the hallowed High School halls late one October night, very close to Halloween.

No?.......Good! 

I stand firm upon the 5th Amendment.  And I do believe that the statute of limitations has run out on such an “incident.”

If you can’t possess, use, sell, or distribute silly string,
that means you cannot push string,
which is a basic mechanical-engineering axiom, anyway.

No fine for being an illegal in L.A. though, right?

Priorities people, priorities!

DougM,
So, does this have something to do with the combinant of “Light as Wave -vs- Light as Particle” ,The ‘Butterfly Effect” and “String Theory Physics” wherein, one cannot even look upon the string without changing the possibility of the string being either particle or wave as one attempts to move the string?

Hummm?

Damn, I believe I need a drink.

No silly string just silly weed.

geezerett,

When I walked into the local designated early voting place last evening, a younger couple (...and that might mean something different to those of you conceived after the Korean War...) wandered in reeking of Mary Jane and giggling.

We are a somewhat tolerant folk, given what most of us have experienced.

However… it took two precinct volunteers to walk these stoners through the use of an all paper ballot.

God help us.....or Darwinian Science!

PatrickP proves that old saying: “When silly string is outlawed, only outlaws will have silly string!”

I don’t know what it is about silly string.  It’s just so… well… silly.

I have even employed it in my so-called ‘act’.

The Aristocrats!

why is ILLEGAL in quotes?

So nobody I know should get married at that time on that block.

Silly string is my trademark at weddings.

That’s only because while cooked rice sticks better, it is not very spontaneous or portable. Teh string is easier to hide, too.

Mech has been practicing!
Silly string is fun, what’s wrong with it?

Wolfryder, some guys did the same thing to a cow and smuggled her to the ninth floor of a locked down girls dorm late one night back in ‘62 .....
Don’t ask me how I know that.
We ......... ummm… they also snatched the Naval Academy mascot Billy the (Roman Numeral) fed him Exlax and secreted him in a guy’s dorm room, where he secreted......

Is “droll string” okay then?

^ No, because you made laugh. That was silly. ^
