Bernzomatic Tricks
A Bernzomatic is one of those little
portable two-tank welding & soldering blowtorches. The mayhem applications
of such a device are nearly innumerable.
- Try any of my Krazy Glue tricks that
stick metal together, with a Bernzomatic.
- Solder that dick's bike's wheels,
or handlebars, or brakes, stuck. These could not be done with Krazy Glue.
- Weld locker doors shut. Works even
better than with Krazy Glue 'coz there's no solvent for this.
- If you see a bike chained to a fence,
you can either weld the chain to both the fence and the bike, or solder
the keyhole/combo knob stuck.
- Make modern art out of school desks:
Weld them all together in a pseudo random arrangement.
- Take battery, spark plugs, starter
motor, or whatever out of car so it won't start. Then weld hood on. - Deflate
enemy tires; weld wheel nuts on so tire can't be removed. Krazy Glue the
valve so it can't be refilled either. Be creative (destructive?)
More pranks:
- Have fun switching price tags in
the local department store or labels in the supermarket.
- Go to the trick and joke shop and
get a BIG rubber spider. Go to the liquor store with this and put the spider
in a bottle (twist off caps are best)
- Place motor oil all over stairways
and ramps.
- Wipe boogers on buttons of elevators
and other things (only if you are REAL gross)
- Go to Radio Shack. You know how all
the parts hang from hooks in little plastic bags stapled to a card? Krazy
Glue a few thousand of those to the hooks they hang from. Do this to shelved
stock as well; if you don't make yourself look suspicious you will appear
to be "just looking". You can also do this in drugstores and other stores,
but I have named Radio Shack 'coz I was thrown out of one once for knowing
more about the TRS-80 on display than the manager...
- If you live in an area with no cable
TV, go up on your enemy's roof at a time when he is not there to hear your
footsteps, and re-aim his antenna in a random direction. If he has a rotator,
Krazy Glue its gears so it will not rotate the aerial.
- Attach a bud box to your enemy's
house. Then, blue-box thru it a lot and at a dangerous time. Watch him
try to explain it to Bell!
- If you can get access to your enemy's
computer without him knowing, remove a few choice chips. Like ROM, the
6502, a few RAMS, or the Video chip. The Keyboard Rom is ideal
- leave in other chips, and your enemy
will have a working machine EXCEPT... (for comod0res: pull the kbd CIA
chip)
- Similarly, if you have the same machine
as your school, you have a supply of spare parts for free! All you do is,
when you have a blown chip, take it out of your machine, go to school,
wait until you can have 2 minutes ALONE in the computer room, and then
swap your blown chip for the good one in one of your school's machines.
ESPECIALLY EASY if your school has Apples, coz then you don't need to fuck
with unscrewing anything. The school will NEVER ask questions, they will
assume the chip blew from natural causes (which it actually did, but not
in their machine) and they will PROMPTLY fix it themselves, so you will
not even be without the use of a school computer for long! Also, if you
are caught red-handed, just say you are trying to get the disk card to
work or something; if they discover the blown chip right away they might
think you "accidentally" blew it and may make you pay for it (at their
reduced school rate!) but that is the VERY worst that can happen if you
are REALLY stupid.
- Remember the Hockey-puck Krazy Glue
trick of my last file? Well, glue your enemy's records into one big long
cylinder in the same manner.
- Let's see how fast that rotary razor
will run with the blades Krazy Glued to the screen!
- Steal a box of your enemy's favorite
disks. If he has any wares on it that you want, copy them. Then, open them
all up, and, with RUBBER GLOVES ON so as not to fuck up his data, randomly
place the actual disks in other jackets, so that the labels on his disks
are completely wrong. Krazy Glue the jackets shut so he won't get suspicious.
Now, at your earliest convenience, return his disks (stick them under a
desk at school or something so he will think he lost them), and wait for
him to try and boot up some! "Gee, I think I'll play Karateka.... What?
Applewriter? What the fuck..."
- If your enemy has a Commodore 64,
give him a disk of neat0 programs. Include a file called "auto-boot menu",
which he will assume is exactly what its name implies. Now, the file with
that name should be as follows: You may have heard of programs that can
format 40 tracks on the 1541. You should also know that this knocks the
drive head against the track 35 post. "Auto-boot menu" should repeatedly,
non-stop, bang the head against this post in an attempt to format/read/write
track FIFTY. This will totally FUCK his alignment to death, and if he is
stupid and has never read comodore magazines, he will go to a computer
store and pay a hundred bucks or so to get it fixed. (HINT: you cannot
do this using DOS, you must program the stepper motor.)
- Take your enemy's disk notcher. When
you get home with it, take it apart. If it is the kind that resembles a
one-hole punch, then remove the blade and return it to him. If it is the
plastic Taihaho job, take off the 2 screws at the bottom. Take out the
blade, which should be bevelled. Grind it so it is completely rectangular,
then file the edge so it is dull. Put it back together and return it to
your enemy. I guarantee you, he will never use it again.
- Take a piece of square (1/2") mild
steel stock about a foot long and, under heat, bend it into the shape of
a horseshoe magnet. Paint it red. It should have no magnetic field at all,
but surrepetitiously place it underneath all of your enemy's disks. You
will do no damage but the look on his face...
- If you REALLY hate your enemy then
just go out and buy a real magnet, and do the same thing.
- Krazy glue ALL the buttons in an
elevator so they cannot be pushed. Great to do in REALLY tall buildings.
Well I hope that gives you a few MORE ideas, have fun making thy foes miserable.
