As far as pulling a prank on me, that is extremely good advice. I
think pranking is simply mean and do not react well to it. Jumping
out of the bushes and shouting "boo" is not a good idea unless you
happen to be wearing body armor. If I feel that I am in danger, I
will strike immediately with the intention of hurting. I would never
deliberately try to fool or scare another person and don't understand
the malicious pleasure someone would get out doing that.
Wow. You really are anti-hidden-camera scenario, aren't you?
What about the original Candid Camera? Do you hate it also?
Elroy, can't you tell the difference between assault and Candid Camera?
I'm beginning to wonder i fit'syouwhocan'ttellthedifference...
Elroy, have you ever been assaulted? I have. I will never allow
myself to be in a position where I am vulnerable to attack. I can
always pull back from defending myself, if necessary, but I won't be
in a position where I can't defend myself because of underestimating
the attacker or misinterpreting a situation. I consider safety to be
a priority.
Hmmm. I hadn't thought about this, but that is my case too.
I was attacked once, and that was more than enough. I was also
lucky in that I was more scared than hurt, but I learned to look
for potential trouble, to avoid it when possible, and to deal
with it when necessary. Sadly, too many people never get that
chance.

That's why I tend to think such a show is actually beneficial, in that
a person can sit there in the comfort of their chair, and watch
how somebody else reacts, and as a result, perhaps change what they
might do if being put into a similar situation in real life.
The people around here who have been assaulted seem to have a
very strong reaction and problem with the show, but if you think about
it, don't police officers have to go through drills where civilians
and bad guys pop up out of the woodwork, and they have to think on
their feet and decide whether to shoot or not?
Granted, they aren't really being pranked, but the characters that pop
up in the course are unknown to them beforehand.
I guess maybe I'm suggesting everyone think like a cop, and I'm really
not sure I wanna go there...

Good point, but how often to do the people in the drill pop up
and grab the cop from behind? I don't think that anyone with
all their marbles is going to try that one, in real life. Cops
have guns, and are known to carry them, so anyone doing that
probably means business. While I don't think that most people
will go out of their way to jump on an apparition that's
standing in the yard gibbering at them, if said apparition comes
into the house and gibbers, it's got to take the consequences.
Maybe?
Granted, they aren't really being pranked, but the characters that pop
up in the course are unknown to them beforehand.
But still not popping up and grabbing them. Maybe this is
where an otherwise perfectly good analogy slips a bit.
I guess maybe I'm suggesting everyone think like a cop, and I'm really

Ah, yes. Good choice, not going there. :)

Doubtful. Its not as if you've got the time for contemplation.
The people around here who have been assaulted seem to have a
very strong reaction and problem with the show,
I've never seen the show. No interest in it.
but if you think about
it, don't police officers have to go through drills where civilians
and bad guys pop up out of the woodwork, and they have to think on
their feet and decide whether to shoot or not?
Drills are merely that. Reality is something entirely different.
Granted, they aren't really being pranked, but the characters that pop
up in the course are unknown to them beforehand.
Are they? There are only so many locations the characters can be in.
I guess maybe I'm suggesting everyone think like a cop, and I'm really
not sure I wanna go there...
Nah, you're not suggesting that.

Don't be silly, Elroy. Of course, I do. I'm pro-active not a

That's not really fair. If Liz knows that she does not want "pranks" such
as that to be pulled on her, empathy would dictate she would not want to
see them pulled on others.
Hell, I can't even watch totally fake and fictional sitcoms in which the
"humor" involves people being publicly embarassed or humiliated. I've
changed the channel or left the room more than once when shows like that
are on or if a scene like that develops in a show. Watching something like
that is almost physically painful. I can't do it.
Far as the kinds of "pranks" the show brays about in their ads, well, to
my mind, it's the kind of thing you do to people you hate. If you know
something scares someone and you exploit it, you're their enemy and you
want to cause them pain. Why some people find this "funny" is beyond me.
If I imagine myself doing something like that to someone, the only motive
I can imagine is hatred. It would not be funny. I would not be trying to
be funny. I would be trying to *hurt you.
*My reaction would be wanting to beat the crap out of somebody for pulling
a stunt like that. So I don't watch the show. I don't care to feel that
anger. It's not "entertaining."
Also...
I'd be willing to bet the show is about as real as professional wrestling.
Hollywood is *terrified of lawsuits. You have to sign a billion releases
in Hollywood for anything and everything. And you can't "prank" somebody
who signs a bunch of release forms. Informed consent means you have to
give them information. The release won't protect you if you don't tell
them what's happening and what the risks are. There could not be any
"surprise" element in all that.
If they're not getting releases, they're risking being bankrupted. So I
suspect--strongly--the show is staged...

I know I wouldn't enjoy it for the same reason that I don't enjoy
watching people taking a *****. It's not something that I choose to
watch. Does that fact that I don't enjoy watching others take a dump
make me not open minded, too. Maybe not poking knitting needles in my
ears just because you enjoy doing it means that I have a closed mind,
but hell, I'd rather be closed minded than waste my time watching
*****.
I do not understand why people derive pleasure in scaring other people.

How do you feel about roller coasters?
Boring.
How do you feel about being on a ships' sponson and looking up at an ocean
wave coming at you at a combined speed of at least 60 MPH, one that is about
20 feet above you?
Or having a jet aircraft blow up directly over your head, about 5 feet over
your head?
Or how about hearing a bullet pass within inches of your head? Several times?
Or how about being hit by a car while on a bicycle? Several times? Or while
on a motorcycle? Several times?
Or turning a corner and finding yourself in the middle of a riot?
Or having something drop on you at work and finding yourself paralyzed from
the neck down?
Or undergoing two major surgeries in two months?
After living through things like these I find roller coasters to be fucking
boring and a waste of my time.

I don't understand folks like this, I used to work on the Oriskany's radars
and IFF gear on top of the mast, it never bothered me. I have also been to
the top of several rather tall radio towers, being a couple of hundred feet
in the air standing on a 3/4" support does not give me the heebie-jeebies. I
just remember to not let go with both hands and be absolutely certain of
where I put my feet while moving.

It depends. Are you in a position where you are going to fall, or merely very
high off the ground? A strong, steady foot-square platform a foot off the
ground is just as strong and steady a hundred feet up. You can stand still on
a square foot of space, can't you? Then it shouldn't make any difference how
high you are. When I was replacing the IFF antenna on the SPA-32 radar I had
to stand on top of the safety railing and work over my head, on a ship
rolling around on the ocean.
We know we can't fly, so falling off a cliff is naturally gonna be
terrifying to us, yes?
That's why we have hands and feet, and a sense of balance, our ancestors used
to jump around in trees, after all.

I admit it's probably a completely irrational fear. It's weird, I
don't have a problem looking out an airplane window, or even jumping
out of a plane, I guess because I know the plane isn't attached to the
ground in the first place. But put me high up on some ledge and ask
me to bend over it and look down, and I freak and my stomach gets
queezy and my knees get weak.

High rock cliffs as well as tall buildings. Even with guard rails

I have tried those "calf fries," not too bad, but I would not go out of my
way to get any.
Liver, on the other hand, is just damned good, IF you cook it right. If
cooked wrong, as it seems is the usual case, it is disgusting.

Liar! I'm sure you've never tried those nasty calf fries you and

were pushing on me! :)
Yes, I've tried them way more than once, and actually like them. I
also like liver! So there!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!
I don't even know you anymore!! <SOB!>
I have tried those "calf fries," not too bad, but I would not go out of
my way to get any.
I'll still pass on them, thanks much ;)
Liver, on the other hand, is just damned good, IF you cook it right. If
cooked wrong, as it seems is the usual case, it is disgusting.
Blech. Calf's liver is totally gross, but I do love a good chicken liver
pate.
Calf liver?
<URP>
Um... excuse me...

said it would get rid of my warts! Talk about torture! And no, it didn't
work :P
