Cancer Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Then there was my old electronic football team named Idiots of America, with a skilled pair of winger midfielders named LeftWing Thinktank and RightWing Thinktank, and their star striker was Local Schoolboards. It had an inexhaustible wellspring of source material. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Couple of days ago I got a pad of post-it notes bearing the inscription "Go forth and set the world on fire." Saving them for RPG purposes. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Did they smell like they'd been dipped in an accelerant?Nope. OTOH, it is somehow an odd coincidence that these things came a few days before the evacuation drill ("fire drill", but we evacuate for reasons other than just fires nowadays) that is to happen five minutes from the time of this post.

Pariah Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 We had a lockdown drill yesterday. For the drills, I just have the students huddle behind the lab tables in the back of the room. In the case of a real lockdown, though, I'd take them into the supply room. That puts two additional locked doors between us and trouble. Plus, it gives us a whole room full of glass and other unpleasant things to use as improvised throwing weapons against an intruder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Can you mix up vesicants and other disabling weapons quickly while in the supply room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Not really necessary; a little concentrated ammonia will make any potential intruder regret the fact that he has eyes and a windpipe. And it's Area Effect, which means all I have to do is get it in the same hex that he's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 I worked in a corn syrup factory back in college, and we had occasional ammonia leaks. They were not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 And ammonia is probably easier to clean up than, say, mustard gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
