My juvenile pleasure is Stink Bombs. Whats yours?
    #8031782 - 02/16/08 05:01 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Stink bombing crowds of people in enclosed spaces really gets my rocks off.
Me and my friend Mike used to head to the local mall every 2 or 3 days during the summer to stinkbomb it. It was glorious. We would crush entire packs between the double doors so the stench would get stuck in there, and smoke outside while people walked through.
Peoples reactions were great, but predictable. Black people would come through laughing and hollering, and white people (especially women) would come through with prissy stuck up looks on their faces. Except kids, kids all came out laughing.
We would also nail the arcades, with all the goths and emo kids playing DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) every time we went. It would clear out the arcade for about 10 minutes.
Another favorite was rigging the toilet seats in the bathroom. There were 3 stalls in the bathroom, so we would go in, and one of us would rig up the center toilet with stink bombs under the seat, so when someone sat down the pressure would break them open. We would then wait in the stalls on either side of the center stall, thereby forcing anyone who had to shit to go into the center stall. We'd then flush our toilets and walk out into the cafeteria area outside the restroom. Hilarity always ensued.
And yesterday, there was a group of people gathered around milling in the stairwell in one of the buildings at my college. This always pisses me off, when people mill around inside, blocking other peoples way, just bullshitting and talking. I happened to have 3 stink bombs and so I dropped all 3 of them down onto the unsuspecting morons once I got to the top of the stairs. At first I think people thought someone had farted, because as I watched from above, a couple people went from uncomfortable looks on their faces, to looks of outright disgust as the smell became overpowering. They all had to clear outside as the stench spread from the stairwell to the hallways. I passed 2 teachers in suits and ties, with stuck up looks on their faces, commenting how it smelled like bad egg salad.

Then last night, I was stuck in Walmart with one item, forced to wait behind some dumbass with about 200 items and a fat stupid cashier woman working as slow as fucking possible while talking to her coworkers. Guess what? They got stink bombed, courtesy of me.

So anyway, thats my juvenile pleasure. It really makes me happy.
Whats your juvenile pleasure?

Oh that was funny! mainly the part where you put a stink bomb in the arcade with all the emo's and goth's. Those kids annoy the fuck outta me..
But the other one about being in the Walmart line. I would have loved to do that many times, especially all the dipshit mormons here in Utah.

I've never made them, I get them from the local head shop. Little blue cardboard packs with a skunk on the front, 3 glass vials inside filled with a yellow liquid, ammonium sulfide. You drop one, the glass shatters, people want to puke.
And I stand off to the side, hiding my face, shuddering with laughter.

its best to put a smoke bomb on the groud and cover it with a plastic cup
the cup quickly fills with smoke then melts into the ground and leave a colored circled there
good stuff

Thought about that, but I don't want to get expelled.
I am planning on taking one of those big cylindrical smoke bombs though, and taping it to the back of a toilet with a birthday candle stuck to the fuse... But not until I'm closer to graduating.

I'm glad to hear that. I've been trying to take my mayhem to a larger scale. A neighborhood about 2 away from mine recently had their roads widened and speed humps put in. I'm thinking about sending official looking letters to all the houses letting them know that in accordance to supreme court ruling whatever#2586, their land is being appropriated by the state to be put to better economic use, i.e. parking lots and a strip mall.
Then I'm going to say if they have any questions, please direct them to city hall or some such, and provide the phone number.
I'm trying to think of some better ideas though.

I forgot how much fun stink bombs can be.

Check out eBay, they have tons of those ready made glass ones.

Did anyone ever have that fart spray? Jesus christ that smell was fucking evil.

Just a word of warning: The active ingedient of most smoke bombs is hydrogen sulfide (including ammonium sulfide ones.

This stuff is EXTREMELY poisonous and people will be dead before the ambulance arrives. So don't let them break too close to someone's face, and don't keep a whole bunch of them in your pocket.

Want a recepy for an absolutely RANCID stink bomb that stinks ferociously and lingers for a long time?

Take a small jar and fill it a quarter full with vinegar. Then take cowbutter (not margarine) and put a lot of it in there with it. Then close the pot, so in time it will never open again. Now put this in a warm place for weeks on end. The butter will turn to goop. The resulting goop, when the jar breaks, will smell exactly like vomit with a hint of old cadavers, sewers and a touch of goat aroma, which will linger for a very long time. Its a hundred times worse than rancid butter because its a hundred times more rancid than rancid butter :awesome:

Very yukky but nontoxic.

Along the same lines is spoiled milk - left out of the fridge for a week or two. Get a good whiff of that and you'll gag at the very least.

And the stinkbomb per excellence: A box of eggs, kept a few months after its expiration date. Excellent projectiles :smile:

I made a thread in Chem about making the stinkiest substance on earth, (CH3)2C(SH)2 for nostalgic reasons :smile:


My juvenile pleasure is fireworks, my early childhood obsession :smile:

Many. Take a light alkane, slap one or two of the following anywhere on it and it will reek and/or irritate:

-CH=O (aldehyde)
-SH (thiol)
NR3 (amine)
-N=C: (isocyanide)
-N=C=O (isocyanate)
-N=C=S (isothiocyanate)
-OCN (Isocyanate)

In general you can say if its volatile and has multiple bonds, particularly involving other atoms than carbon, it will smell strongly.
