KILLER DEAL!!! Wrap the Earth with Rubber Bands from Staples! 335 pounds of rubber bands for $75.50 delivered!!! 500 pounds for $120!

[OSUdrunk]

I just ordered $50.00 worth to get over the free shipping mark. I am planning on cutting them and tying them back together to make a giant hammock...it is summertime, you know!

Enough rubberbands should be able to support 150# or so of weight, no? I'll hafta take some pics with my new digital cam.

 

[jackywebdesign]

I think for that you have to go 5 ply or more...

Were you referring to rubber bands or toilet paper? j/k j/k

hehe

 

[HelloBrother]

You are sleeping in your rubbeband hammock on a very hot day. You are deep in sleep. The rubber starts melting and wrapping you around. Soon you become the mummy instead of Keroseene.

HelloBrother
I don't know about you, but I sure as hell won't be pouring any molten rubber over Jeff and the Twins. That's gonna leave a mark, for sure.:Q

Forget worrying about the Navy and launching F14's, what about all the elastic waist bands in people's underware? Imagine the national state of emegency that would be created; millions of flabby, out of shape, hairy posteriors freely exposed, AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!

OSUdrunk... i tried ordering it and i can't get it over 30 in my area. what area are you in? I am in long island, NY

 

[Noirish]

dang, i always want a giant rubber band ball
i heard the record size is 5 feet across.

 

[jackywebdesign]

interesting thing that I just thought about: Kerosene MELTS rubberbands. (at least I think)

 

[Samus]

heheh, condoms... lots of them... like 4 bands to a condom and that'd be a thick one... i like it thin... umm, yeah.

 

[claffeyb]

Take a look at this 2450 lb. ball.

Reminds me of the old Homer Price book and the contest for the largest ball of string.

 

[OSUdrunk]

Does anybody remember Pee Wee's Play House? He had a foil ball about 8 feet round and a rubber band ball about 2 feet round. Ahh, the memories.

 

[jackywebdesign]

Guess we'll have to buy out Staple's rubberband supply to beat the world record for biggest ball.

Maybe it's just me growing up in SoCal, but....

Anyone remember an elementary school game involving stringing rubber bands into long ropes and looping them around a pole? The idea was to jump over them at different heights: ankle, knee, waist, chest, *neck*, *top of the head* -- the trick was to catch some good air and really fold your knees cos once your toes are over, you're fine. Assuming you land ok.

It was called &quot;Chinese jump rope&quot; at my school. They used the poles that supported the covered walkways... (ah, California: each classroom in its own building.)

Anyway, they made these ropes by taking a bunch of bands and folding them over, then taking another bunch of bands to link to it. Just tie off the end when you're done. It's hard to describe. Look at the seams on a baseball/softball to get an idea of what one link looks like. Anyway, you could make some seriously thick ropes with rubber bands. Braid those ropes together and... I still wouldn't bungee jump with it.

But I am tempted to buy a few pounds of rubber bands, now.

I remember a game like that in Hong Kong, where I went to elementary school 1st-5th grade.

 

[tazmania99]

Geez, you guys really refresh my childhood memory. I remember that game too and that was usually the time I hook up the girls!

However, with 355lb of rubber bands, you can tie up yourself all the way around and become the mummy of The Sphinx &amp; The Great Pyramid.

 

[stndn]

yeah.. we played those things, too....
the difference is we don't use poles... usually two ppl will take turn as the &quot;pole&quot;, where they will stand and/or hold the &quot;rope&quot; while the others jump around

aahhh.... childhood memories... and to think the poor kids today only know how to play indoor games (console, video game, etc)

<< aahhh.... childhood memories... and to think the poor kids today only know how to play indoor games (console, video game, etc) >>


Arrhhh...hard to imagine I'd have the same toys as today's kids. GameBoy Advanced, PS2, electric scooter, Sony Poochee.

Look back our childhood! We just played with rubber bands. Even worst, I played with my own fingers. Using them to pretend a spider crawling around... Sob...!

Not a bad idea to jump into this rubber bands deal in order to recall our childhood.

 

[GoldenTiger]

LMFAO!

 

[GoldenTiger]

<< With the .125 in, u get more bands, with the .25 inch, u get stronger bands.

That's a moral dilemma you got on your hands right there. >>



That's what YOU think...

GO ahead... laugh at us poor souls whom are having trouble deciding which bands to use as weapons on a heist .

 

[Keroseen]

I can tell you how we used rubber bands in high school. Cut a small (approx. 1 inch) piece of the band. Take a ballpoint pen and put on one ent of the rubber piece right on the end of the pen, right where the ballpoint is. Stretch the other end of the rubber all the way to the other end of the pen, and go shoot some girls with this &quot;weapon&quot;! That was fun!

Those days have long gone though...

 

[The_Dude8]

we could build a giant slin shot and create our own Fear Factors..shooting those darn staples manager that would not PM the compap 19&quot; monitor.

 

[jackywebdesign]

lol on sling shot idea.

 

[polotek147]

the mattress idea sounded interesting. that wouldn't feel like a bed, i imagine.

 

[Joony]

<< Poor Staples delivery guy... >>


LOL!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I grew up in SoCal and it was then known as &quot;Mexican Jump Rope&quot;. But, we were too busy playing dodge ball and kickball to mess with this wimpy game.

Better still, we perfected the folded U-shaped bullets we made out of paper that we sling-shotted around with our rubber bands that we got from our paper routes. Everyone had their own secret folding methodology and arsenal of rock-hard U-bullets. The girls wisely got out of our way.

But, if you got caught, your rear was hauled up to the principal and you never wanted that, him with his paddle he kept prominently displayed. Back when schools and teachers had clout to enforce discipline, back when kids were polite and knew their place in class, back before idiot parents let their kids started hauling real guns to school.
