4. Is that like yelling fire in a crowded theater? |
|
Could be illegal. Would definitely make you liable in civil court for any damages. I absolutely would not advise it, under any circumstances.
Though the idea IS funny.

6. I wouldn't do it, just thinking of it. |
|
Friend did this during a belly dance show 20 some yrs back. Did a long slow dramatic piece with a basket, pretending there was a snake. At the end, had snakes in a can pop out, twirled, went offstage. Was told to never do that again. Just thinking here.

16. That idea is hilarious |
|
Maybe with a younger high-school or college-age crowd it could be pulled off, assuming there's no one particularly uptight in the room. But it seems everyone's uptight and sue-happy these days.

13. Back in the stone ages |
|
my friends and I went to Friday the 13th 3-D and brought grapes to throw back into the crowd during the "squeeze-the-guy's-head-until-his-eyes-pop-out-right-at-you" scene. It was great fun.

20. In HS, then-girlfriend's 16th B-day, went to see "Nightmare on Elm Street" |
|
Edited on Wed May-17-06 11:52 AM by mikeytherat
I wasn't just drunk, I was plowed - her 16th B-day party, set up by her terminally dorky father, was at Chuck-E-Cheese which, I soon discovered, DOES sell beer (we got kicked out after I broke the Whack-A-Mole). We then moved on to see Nightmare on Elm Street.
Here's the setup: Girls sitting on one row, guys sitting behind them. I'm drunk and bored (hated the movie), so I decide to have some fun. Since anytime someone's about to get offed the film telegraphs it from miles away, I wait until I see my chance, slip down to the floor, reach under the girls' seats and grab some ankles (my GF and her best friend) right as another red-shirt gets Krugerized.
Here's the punchline: Bloodcurdling shrieks, popcorn and soda EVERYWHERE, hysteria, running around, confusion, theater stops the film and all the lights come up.
Quelle surprise, I was kicked out of a second establishment that night.
See ya tonight!

21. You're a poor scientist, Dr. Venkman, |
|
and you have no place in this department or in this University.
Really, it's good to hear stories of a colleague's best work! :rofl:
I won't be there tonight or Sunday, we are off on a midWest high school graduation tour, Saturday in St. Louis, Sunday in KCMO.

Actually, what amazed me most that evening was how we lasted as long as we did at Wall E. Weasel's Pizza Pit, because we had already been admonished about:
Hiding in the Sea of Balls and scaring small children :evilgrin: Smoking and drinking in the Crawl Tunnels (no, it was not a cigarette) :evilgrin: The fact that, if I kept doing what I was doing, I was going to break the Whack-A-Mole (which I did) :evilgrin:
Oddly enough, the movie theater management was WAY more pissed at us than the UpChuck-E-Cheeze folks (this was the night Nightmare on Elm Street opened, and the theater was sold out).
See ya next week!

14. Wait 20-30 years - until it attains "Rocky Horror Picture Show" status. |
|
Until then you could be charged with a variation of the "no-yelling-FIRE-in-a-crowded-auditorium" statute.
You're evil. :hi:

18. Throwing snakes into the crowd would be too obvious. |
|
They'd catch you for sure. Don't risk an arrest for disorderly conduct and the frivolous lawsuits that are sure to follow (OMG! I was so frightened that I've had to seek counseling and take anxiety meds and I can't even see a picture of a snake now without having a panic attack and even my sex life is shot because now my husband's weiner reminds me of SNAKES! I demand seventy trillion dollars!).
Although I do admire the concept. If the theatre wasn't too high tech (security cameras everywhere, etc.), one might place a few rubber snakes into well chosen locations... like take an aisle seat in the back and put one in the aisle next to it, or place one in a ladie's room stall.
NOT that I am advising you - or anyone - to do this. I just think that conceptually it would be funny. Like a good April Fool's Day joke. Or something.

19. Bad idea. What if someone in the audience had a bad heart? |
|
You could cause a heart attack if that person had a fear of snakes.
