Armchair Warrior - do your actions match your sig?
This is something of an open letter to the poster who goes by the handle "Armchair Warrior":
A handful of months ago (probably close to a year), my wife and I were on 5th avenue leaving a show at Southpaw when we decided to go get some ice cream at the Chocolate Room a few blocks away. On our way there, completely out of the blue, we were almost hit numerous times with what we quickly realized were water balloons. We weren't directly hit - only mildly splashed a few times - but needless to say it was pretty bizarre. I can't say that I was devastated or that my life was greatly affected, but it was a pretty crappy thing for someone to do to complete strangers who were just walking down the street.
At some point after that, I started perusing these boards occasionally and noticed that your "sig" makes a reference to advocating "the liberal use of water balloons" and was wondering if that might have been you.
I mean no libel - if it wasn't you then I wish you no ill. But it has been eating at my craw and I just wanted to ask you if you've really thrown water balloons at strangers. Thanks.

He'll evict an old widow for being ten seconds behind in the rent before being so rude as to toss water balloons at perfect strangers. On trendy 5th Avenue no less.

Sounds like your episode was probably just yet another group of neighborhood kids up to their usual warm-weather antics.
Same happens across all these neighborhoods, every summer.
Water balloons thrown, pans of water dumped on people, even rocks hurled at unsuspecting passers-by. :shock:
As for armchair, I highly doubt your episode had anything to do with him.
His sig line was just a tongue-in-cheek reference to another thread discussion from some time back, unless I am mistaken.
No, you'd probably only encounter him on the attack within the confines of World of Warcraft or Halo or something along those lines. (eh, armchair?
) -
You're just lucky you didn't run into me, or it would have been Wesson balloon or Mrs. Butterworth balloon time! :twisted:

I don't understand that threat but that little devil face frightens me!

Wesson balloon= balloon filled with vegetable oil
Mrs. Butterworth's balloon= balloon filled with maple flavored syrup
Now if I was getting really nasty, I'd have ammonia and bleach balloons and hit you with one of each. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: -
for $5 I'll tell you where he lives :-)
-
Damn you gonna sell him out for 5 dolla??
LOL Carnivore! That would be so fucked up !
Could you imagine walking down the street and then BAMMMMM! You're covered in Mrs. Butterworths?? :bounce: -

All that shit is WAY too expensive to waste on pranking.

I just piss in the balloons.
Or wander Park Slope looking for "bonding moments" when I run low on ammo. :P -

I call bullshit. There's no way to fill up a balloon with piss "directly from the tap." You have to piss into a bottle, blow up the balloon with air and put the opening around the mouth of the bottle and then turn the thing over. -

Ah, the voice of experience! The unexperienced (or women) need a funnel to piss in the bottle.
Anyway. The reality is that just using a super soaker is way more fun and safer. Nothing like bombing yerself!
Bonus def: Piss Balloon

I would have gone with:

This board is totally pissy.
Covers the stroller set, gentrification, etc.
And it is pet obsessed.

armchair only use acid filled balloons, none of that sissy stuff.
btw i hate them kids who throw balloons indiscriminately. my sig has its purpose. i would never do anything to strangers unless they start something off first. i only believe in defense.
jeffrey is right lol, its from another thread a long time back.
sister you gonna sell me for $5 bucks, i'm very disappointed. i'm worth at least $5.99
carnivore scares me
. he is one guy not to mess with. -
Ok, ok, $5 and a Wii Fit :-)

If anyone reading this was hit with water balloons and/or eggs from a rooftop on Prospect Park West on any one of countless occasions from approximately 1993 to 2003, uh... sorry about that.

Someone tossed some water balloons at me on while I was walking my dog PPW back in those days. When I rang the bell to the house that I thought it came from and then hung around looking for a large object to toss through the window (garbage can) a kid came down and apologized. Was that you? -

We did have a guy (who looked like a gray-haired Al Franken) make his way up to the roof one time while we were in the act, wielding a car antenna as if he was going to fuck shit up. Once he saw we weren't afraid of him, he walked back downstairs with his head down and we continued throwing. -
