What's the most horrible thing you've ever done?

[Papa Lazarou]

When I was a kid I used to do lots of fun things involving ants:

1. Put an icecube on the ground next to their nests and the 'wake them up'. They would walk on the ide cube, become paralysed (as their body temp drops they slow down). I would then do the old magifying glass trick on them as they were frozen to the ice cube.

2. I used to collect up tubs of red, black and orange ants that lived in different parts of the front & back gardens and arrange ant wars in a large tub. If you got roughly the same numbers of each, they would fight each other to the death, and you ended up with decaptiated ants everywhere. I used to find that the red ants, which were by far the largest of the 3 woud always win, so I would adjust the number of each colour until the odds were about even.

3. When the ants were swarming (all over a small area of garden) I would capture other insects, and lob them into the nest. It was amazing to watch the ants pin down and dismantle much larger creatures. Grasshoppers were the bets as they were vert strong and put up a valiant fight for 20 mins or so, with hundreds of ants all over it. I found flies with their wings removed or damaged made very good sport.

so, how cruel is that...

Oh, I also used to set fire to woodlice with a magnifying glass.

has anyone heard of the book 'up to no good' edited by kitty harmon? it's about 'the rascally things boys do as told by decent grown men'.

some real quality stuff in here. just looking through now.

I spent hours poking at ants nests. I loved to watch them panic and start moving their eggs. One day it hit me that these eggs looked just like Rice Krispies, and I wondered what they would taste like. But I didn't want to taste one. So I collected a bunch of the eggs and put them in my big sister's bowl of Rice Krispies. She ate the whole bowl without ever noticing a thing. I decided that ants' eggs not only look like Rice Krispies, but taste like them, too. And the thing is, I liked my sister.

Creative, yet sadistic, Papa.

You'll go a long way...

Papa - I take my hat off to you, a true garden warrior. It must be a Worthing thing

Sickening

But I must admit, one day I'd had an argument with my Dad so to get him back I had a shit in my back garden, so I could watch him scoop it up thinking it was the dog's..... however before he could do that my dog came along and ate it.

Sonic - what was wrong with buring ants under a magnifying glass?

Nothing wrong with it at all. Just a bit run of the mill really. Who hasn't done that.

Tip for keeping slugs off your plants. Scatter broken up egg shells around. It cuts them to ribbons like razor blades. Nice!

I've captured wasps in jars in the past and sprayed lighter gas through a hole in the lid. They freak out big time; the sting goes in and out like the nib of a retractable ball point pen being continually clicked on and off. Continue with the gas and they go into suspended animation, only coming out of it when air is re-introduced back in. They never seem to die though, bastards.

Spiders are cannibals. Though not neccesarily cruel, catch more than one in a jar and watch them fight it out. Catch four or more and you're treated to a tag team fest of WWF proportions.


This is probably the one of the cruelist things I've seen, I still can't work out if it's actually real or a joke.

Me and a mate used to collect grasshoppers, stick them in a can, put the lid back on and cook them alive. Didn't go as far as tasting them cos we didn't have any ketchup.

this shit has to be fake. the 4 week page was forbidden and animal right's nut's would go out of their tiny minds!! looks like some nerd has no life and f*** loads of time to make this detailed website when the result is a bit of a chuckle. some people!

 

[Artois]

i shot a man dead!

How come no one's commented on this.

I take it it's not true.

 

[Safeway]

It's true. One of Mr Popkins' many well-kept secrets.

 

[Artois]

Well he can't just say "I shot a man dead" without telling us the story.

 

[bhaexpress]

Here's one involving humans. I managed to ruin my ex wife's carreer completely when she tried ripping me off. I also managed to send a bitch I was engaged to into a mental home as she tried to rip me off too.

Moral of the story, don't try rip me off.

P.S. I am in the process of ruining somebody else's career who also tried to rip me off.

 

[Safeway]

I'll leave the grusome details to Mr Popkins.

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

I used to throw ants onto my mums 'hob' at home.

They used to do a wicked 'break-dance' before melting into a tiny charcoaled spec.

I did the ant wars thing too - excellent entertainment.

I used to stone Stag beetles to death - horrible bastard things.

Loved catching crane flies & throwing them into spiders webs - hours of enjoyment.

Aaahhhh..........what memories.........

 

[Withdean and I]

I used to roam Seaford Head with my brother, armed with a packet or two of french bangers. We would find a nice fresh dog poo, put a banger in it, then wait for a walker to come along, set the fuse and hey presto!...yes it usually went off too soon and covered us in shyte!
