That's pretty farked up. They should take the kids who did this, and put them on a motorcycle, and crash them into the same thing they put up. But, that would be exact justice.

/not going to happen.

Ok. That's weird. My post disappeared. I didn't flame anyone. I didn't swear, make crude remarks, or post any pictures. It was just a post. And now it's gone.

That's weird.

Scary. But at least it wasn't a piano string...

i grew up in south waukesha. small world.
i miss the ponza rottas.

After I read the artcile, I went downstairs to put some french fries in the oven.

I almost put saran wrap on the baking sheet instead of aluminum foil...

"Waukesha County sheriff's investigators are concerned because last year a number of parked cars were found bound in plastic wrap to prevent drivers from getting inside, Detective Steve Pederson said."

What a bunch of morans. Everyone knows you use shrink wrap for cars.

Wouldn't shrink wrap be (a helluvalot) easier to get off than saran wrap?

It's really a pain to get off...in the summer time. But you have to loop the stuff underneath the car and around, not sideways.

Not weird at all. fark has eaten half a dozen of mine in the past month or so. Maybe they added one of those grammar checker things to the filters.

InternetSecurityGuard is right. You can get the stuff at your local U-Haul place.

I'm pretty sure that this actually happened in Mukwonago. My friend was telling me about it when we drove by it the other day, and looky here, it appears on fark.

People shouldn't complain about not having anything to do. I'm 20, and since there's nothing to do, I'm building a trebuchet. Not one of those whimpy ones either -- We're going with a telephone pole for the arm. Interestingly enough, it'll be built just a few miles down the road from where this incident occurred.

I'm a mechanical engineering student . . . I just had to put my plans in autocad format.

The joke's on them actually since April Fools Day was three and a half months ago...

If people from Wisconsin are Wisconsinites, what are people from Paris???

Yes, kids do dumb things without thinking. Similar dumb thing we did when young: We found a four foot long lead lead pipe and stood it up in a crack in the road and waited in hiding. We thought it was funny when a car hit and drive off so we went to set it up again. In the distance we heard roaring motorcycles and fortunately for us we got scared enough NOT to set it up. A gang of about 20 - 30 Harley riders flew by while we cowered and thanked our lucky stars we hadn't set up the pipe. I imagine we'd have been beaten to death and then some if we had. We decided to switch to throwing mudballs at cars instead ('cuz we were so smart).

"hey Chibisuke, dont take this the wrong way--but you sound like a farking idiot."

Well I'm not an idiot. I'm a pretty intelligent guy. A game programmer, an artist... I enjoy science (physics) and nature.

I was one of those kids with a lot of smarts, but little common sense. I think a bit differently from a lot of people. Lucky for me, I've got more common sense now, though I still do things I shouldn't on occasion, simply for lack of thinking them through. Though I can't think of any good examples right now.

Sick. Somebody is permanantly scarred for a retarded prank, lucky they aren't dead.

"Some kids in my area thought it would be fun to put tires in the road in the middle of the night. They're facing manslaughter charges now."

So who'd they end up killing, and how? Did they cause a car to go off the road, or did a tire gor through the windsheild? Did it crash into a tree? Flip over? Or was it a motorcycle?

I'm 18, and believe me... I do some stupid things. Then again, I do have more common sense than the asshat who pulled this prank...

I just stick to the stupid stuff that only pisses people off, and not the stuff that could injure/maim/kill someone.

Especially bikers. I *definitely* don't want to fark with them...

Chibosuke - I'm with ya.

When I was a kid, we did all sorts of stupid shiat...and I'm surprised nobody ever got hurt (especially my friends and me).

I'd go into detail but I don't know anything about the statute of limitations (or whatever it's called). I think some of the stuff we did would probably carry a felony charge,

Smart kid + bored = trouble

i thought for a moment the article was going to talk about this use of saran wrap:

i saw that on the news today. i thought, it wouldve been a lot cooler if it streached really far then FLUNG him back into a port-o-potty knocking it down a hill all over a bunch of prisoners in a chain gang.

...some guy muttering "Bubby been left to die - me Pop now" seen leaving the scene of the accident...

/Bad Boy Bubby

I'd hit it!

</tasteless>

But what if the saran wrap was like 10 feet high? Then any motorcyclist would land safely in the "net" hopefully before the motorcycle broke it. Or even make the bottom weaker so it breaks before the top does to solve that problem. Or put so much saran wrap across that it stops a car driving 55.

I live in Wisconsin as well...A guy I knew in High school once used saran wrap as a condom. He went through high school with the nickname Zip-loc.

I can't believe there was more than one person to do this.

Also, when I read the headline I thought "what'd someone do? String it across a path to get cyclists?" Well, wrong type of cycle, but right idea

It wasn't saran wrap, it was probably a roll of shrink wrap that you use to wrap pallettes up. The cardboard roll is longer than the plastic, so you can hold it with both ends and warp around things pretty effortlessly.

I think this is funny as hell. All you "it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye" people can suck it. Some of us don't find humor in Bill Cosby standup and redneck jokes. Besides you KNOW if it's a 22 yr old and a 19 yr old, they were riding ricers, and they deserved it. I don't know of one person that rides one of those safely. They probably came from a dead stop, tached it out to 10,000 RPM before they hit 25mph (to sound super cool, because you just can't be smooth with the throttle on those things, can you?) and then WHAM! Brilliant.

I've been a Wisconsinite all my life... it's amazing how accurately "That 70's Show" portrays teen life in Wisconsin.

Painting a large marijuana leaf on a water tower = funny.
This little prank = anything but funny.

My opinion on this whole thing. Both parties are at fault. The city of Waukesha is also responsible for not giving these punks who did this something else better to do.

/On Wisconsin Biatches.

Saran wrappping a roomates toilet bowl, on the other hand, is harmless fun for all.

I've been down on a bike at 35mph when someone cut me at a left turn. I was in good jeans, leather coat and full face helmet. I still lost a bunch of teeth, had a huge gash in my chin (3 layers of 11 stitches each) and lost consciousness. I've been down again in full gear and scraped pretty bad through my jeans.

What about this use (possibly NSFW) of Saran Wrap?

my favorite use is putting saran wrap on a toilet someone is about to piss in.

I remember when I was in HS, some local kids thought it would be fun to try to drop rocks off an overpass through the windshield of passing cars.

I bet they're laughing in prison now.

I remember a long long time ago some kid was either riding his bike or a motorbike or something to the school and he didn't see that there was a wire hanging between two poles for some reason (to block off the area or something) and he didn't see it, and it sliced his head right off. I was really young when it happened but I remember the whole town was horrified. I haven't thought about it until I read that article again. Now that story sounds kind of hard to believe.

Thats just stupid. Everyone knows that saran wrap should only be used on toilets.

Cool. You won't mind if some of us come and superglue you to the floor and leave you to fend for yourself, then.

Because superglue pranks are majorly funny.

I think Spiderman was trying out a new version of his webbing and made a sad mistake.

On a serious note...if the guy had any skills at all...he would have just swung from the stuff and landed on his feet.

I stayed at a hotel on Maui on my honeymoon and there was this guy also staying there who we would see here and there. He had the tank top, Oakleys, and the short spiky hair. I started calling him JB (for Japanese Bike) whenever I saw him, and then one day at the pool I walked by, looked down, and saw JB reading [looking at the pictures in] a magazine about Japanese motorcycles. You can spot these tools a mile away. Totally, off-topic, but I just wanted to make it clear that I can't stand these people. And yes, Harley riders are even worse because they're louder. Speaking of, why do bikers have to constantly rev their engines at stop lights? I've owned three motorcycles and they all idled great. Seems like it's a little bit of "look at me!" mentality...

Why does this shiat always happen in "the 'sha"?

Having grown up in the 'sha, I should share with all of you some of the city's history. Last significant citizen was Les Paul, inventor of the electric guitar, who never seems to come back despite the city's repeated attempts to honor him with parks, streets, etc. named after him. Also, the BoDeans. Remember them? Had a few hits in the 80's. Anyway, "Waukesha" is an name derived from the Iroquois Indian lanuguage. Loosely translated, it means "City of Losers".

I know who did this. I have been tracking this criminal mastermind for a few years now. here was his first job

This guy needs to be caught but I don't think the law has the ability to catch him

probably too late for the ultra-intellegent fark crowd to get this oh-so useful clue. meddling kids
