peregrinerose 0 #1 January 30, 2006 A totally un-named skydiving friend of mine, who shall remain nameless but somehow has the same mailing address that I do, decided to attack an unassuming and harmless wall. As far as I could tell, the wall didn't attack him first, but I may have missed that first wall-initiated punch. The aformentioned person suffered a broken hand. The wall didn't appear to suffer at all. At least it hasn't complained nearly as much as the person did. In exchange for royal stupidity, he will be on the ground for 2 months-ish. Not safe to jump if you can't cut away. Or pull, for that matter. Jen Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #4 January 30, 2006 I've never punched a perfectly good wall, but I did kick a perfectly good car fender once. Left a nice dent in the fender. My foot was fine. Fuckin' car started after that, too. Inanimate objects do understand the meaning of properly applied force. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have punched holes in walls with my right fist a few times. I've also punched holes in a few hollow doors and closet doors. I've also punched car doors and the car ceiling, hard enough to see knuckle impressions on sheet metal. I must have tough knuckles, because I've never broken them.

Don't feel sorry for the wall. Most of them are complete jerks who stand there and taunt people in wall-language until you punch them. We'd all be punching more walls if we heard what many of them say about our mothers. The best way to get back at a wall isn't to punch it - the wall almost always wins. Well, except for those karate guys, and everyone knows they just pick on little weakling walls that can hardly stand up for themselves. No, the best way to get back at a wall is to bang nails on it, then hang pictures on them. From our side, we only see smiling people and drooling dogs, but the wall has to stare at bare people asses and smell dog-butt all day and night. The passive aggressive response to walls is to hang ugly wallpaper on them. If you have a boy wall, for instance, you can hang frilly, flowery wallpaper on it. This is the equivalent of dressing up your little brother in girl clothes and putting makeup on him. If you have a girl wall, you can't do that, because girls are allowed to wear boy-clothes, so I suggest carpeting the girl-wall with thick shag carpet. No one likes a hairy girl, and pretty soon they lose their self-esteem and just sulk all day. Whatever you do, do NOT try to play favorites with the windows, because the walls and the windows are in cahoots. Pretty soon, the windows are just daring you to punch them to, and that can be a real problem.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.
