"Did you learn nothing from my chemistry class?"

By Seth Freilich | Posted Under Miscellaneous | Comments (75)



unstable-breaking-bad.jpg

So last week, I posted about the new viral marketing campaign for “Breaking Bad,” featuring everyone’s favorite scumbag lawyer, Saul Goodman. Well now, in advance of the season premiere of “Breaking Bad,” I’m here to run a little contest. For the winners, some “Breaking Bad” swag.

“Seth,” you say. “This is fishy. You’ve been all-but-gone from the site for months, festering in the deepest pits of the suckhole of lawyerdom, and now you post about the same show twice in a week. Are you on the take?”

Yes, the PR company AMC hired to promote “Breaking Bad” has been making a hard sell. And sure, maybe they’ve backed a truckload of industrial-strength chemicals up to my door, complete with all the information I need to sell that shit on the black market for a sweet bit of coin. But that doesn’t mean that what I’ve been saying is any less true, namely, that “Breaking Bad” is a top-notch show. And I think it’s pretty great that AMC is apparently so strongly behind this show. There’s not a lot on TV right now, at least on the drama side, that has me excited, so I’m pretty stoked about the show’s return. Last season, they took Walter down a really dark path, carving away just about every redeemable characteristic as he morphs into the local kingpin Heisenberg. I hate bullshit platitudes like this, but it really is “daring” TV, taking a lead character who started out as 100% sympathetic, and then turning him not just into an anti-hero, but taking him well beyond (see ya in the next life, Jane).

Point being, I dig the hell out of this show. And so when said PR company said, “wanna pimp our show and give some shit away,” I had no problem saying yes.

So the prize, for two creative winners, will be a set of DVDs from the second season of the show, and a poster looking like that header image up top.

The contest? Well as you may know, good ol’ chemistry teacher Walter has used his chemical genius to become a bit of a crystal-meth making kingpin. If you were a chemistry genius, what would you do?

The rules? None. Dustin and I will each pick our favorite responses, and swag you shall get (assuming you leave your proper e-mail address in the comment form so we can find ya).

As for me, if I had all the mad chemical skills in the world, I’d probably go simple. Try to come up with something that would let me function on only two hours of sleep a night. I got lots of shit to do, and could use the extra hours. And I realize, if I could devise a chemical that gets me down to two hours a night, I could probably take it all the way down to not needing any sleep, ever, but that’s just ridiculous - who doesn’t love sleeping? I don’t wanna give it up, just wanna need less of it.

Your turn.

I would create a type of chocolate that was not only top notch taste wise, but it caused you to lose weight in a safe and non-lethal manner.

Those nights of cuddling up to a box of Godiva Truffles wouldn't cause all the guilt and self loathing they do now.

I'll take inspiration from Digital Underground: Sex. Packets. Boo-ya, motherfuckers.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at March 15, 2010 12:16 PM

Wow Zombie Nurse. What a silly girlie response. Are you on the rag? Chocolate? You're the most boring evil genius in the world!

Hooowwhhaaahahaha.

I can do better. Give me an hour.

Cure cancer.

Probably not strictly in the chemistry wheelhouse, but if you're going to make me a serious mad scientist genius, I'm gonna run with it...

Posted by: MM at March 15, 2010 12:24 PM

I apologize ZombieNurse. I didn't realize you were already in self-loathing mode.

It's just I'm so sick of women talking about chocolate! And screenwriters making depressed characters eat chocolate. And actresses stuffing their faces with chocolate (See Miranda on Sex in the City and Audra MacDonald on Private Practice). And co-workers loading the kitchen counter with chocolate.

Except for Chocolat. That movie was awesome because it had a whimsical Juliette Binoche and a gypsy Johnny Depp. Not because of the chocolate.

Posted by: bananapanda at March 15, 2010 12:30 PM

I'd make an endorphin that made you euphoric like heroin but didn't depress your breathing or consciousness. You'd be happy but alive and awake and at work. Think of how annoying that happy person in your office is, now think how horrible it would be if everyone were that happy. That is pure evil.

Posted by: OscarTamerz at March 15, 2010 12:30 PM

I would create a compound that makes semen taste like chocolate.

Take a moment to think how much more cheerful and relaxed everyone would be. It might even end war.

Posted by: Jerce at March 15, 2010 12:38 PM

So I guess it pretty much goes without saying that I'm exempt from the contest being an employee of this website and all, huh?

Usually I also dislike it when television series commit what I like to refer to as "character assassination" and I'd be lying if I said I didn't scream at Walter through the screen regularly throughout Season Two ... But goddamn if it isn't some gripping-ass television.

I can't WAIT for Sunday.

Posted by: Stacey at March 15, 2010 12:44 PM

Jerce,

Now that is some evil geniusin'. World peace through chemistry, indeed.

Posted by: MM at March 15, 2010 12:47 PM

Seth, your chemical already exists. It's called "meth".

For my mad genius chemistry experiment, I would invent an odorless, colorless gas that instantly defused aggression for 30 minutes. The length of action would diminish with increasing use, so there wouldn't be any real incentive to sit around stoning yourself with Anti-Rage Gas all day long.

Road Rage, begone. Workplace stress? Outta here. Kids driving you apeshit? Gas yourself so you can deal with it calmly.

It would be like marijuana, except you could use it on other people without their consent and you wouldn't get the munchies. An anti-adrenaline, if you will.

Jerce, it's not so much the taste as the texture I have a problem with. See what you can do about that while you're at it.

Posted by: elsie at March 15, 2010 12:49 PM

Gah, I didn't mean to bold the whole post. Stupid, stupid....

Posted by: elsie at March 15, 2010 12:52 PM

I would develop a vaccination that combines the best of chemistry and nanotechnology. My serum would instantaneously asses several characteristics of the recipient including intelligence, douchiness, body odour, how many teeth you have, propensity for doing or saying stupid shit, genetic markers related to asshattery and the the likelyhood that you will procreate. If you pass these specific benchmarks, you are rewarded with a euphoria that is orgasmic in its intensity. If you fail these tests, you are immediately rendered deaf, dumb, blind and sterile.

In summation: It would be a vaccine against stupidity.

Posted by: admin at March 15, 2010 1:05 PM

Jerce, you just won - it's practically guaranteed!

I guess I'd make a chemical that causes boobs to swell up so that all the poor wimmenz that want to have boob jobs but can't afford it can get those things on the cheap. I'm sure I'd still make a kazillion dollars because of volume sales. Plus, this would be all real boob instead of baggies of gel or whatever the hell they're using these days.

Posted by: Cindy at March 15, 2010 1:05 PM

I would create a permanent hair removing liquid*. Unsightly arm hair? Just dip your arm in! Does your leg hair qualify you for a membership in the Great Ape species? Soak it in my liquid! Dustin would you like a smooth, glistening body à la R squared? Take a quick swim in my magical formula!

*Seth Rogen will probably need two treatments.

Posted by: Scully at March 15, 2010 1:16 PM


I need a potion that will cure some serious writer's block!

So if I were a chemist, I'd want to invent an instant cure for drunkenness. "Instant sobriety without hangover!" Something I could carry around in a little flask. Something that would allow me to walk around completely shitfaced-with-the-room-spinning and then, after a choice swallow, I'd be golden. Oh, and I want it to taste like a strawberry malt.

That way, I can get deep in my cups, and get those rich, painful melancholy thoughts a bubbling up, and then, after a short sip of this marvelous invention, I could actually put it into words! Instead of passing out. Or upchucking on the laptop.


Posted by: Lance at March 15, 2010 1:18 PM

Hmmm....

I know! I'd make these small glass vials filled with a gasuous liquid that can make any uncomfortable situation seem normal. You say something super embarrasing BOOM glass vial on the floor, everything would continue like normal and noone would notice that you are socially inept, problem solved.

Posted by: Simon at March 15, 2010 1:29 PM

Antiperspirant pill that concentrates mostly on your underarms. No more sweaty armpit stains and no more chalky or gel-y stains on your shirts!

I really hate having to wash out white deodorant stains from my black shirts. Also, I sweat alot (TMI).

Posted by: exploranora at March 15, 2010 1:38 PM

I think I'd mix up Instant Bajingo and Instant Dick. So you'd take these capsules and drop them in water except instead of a stupid foam dinosaur or sperm whale you'd get a vagina or a pecker. Then you could do with them what you will (I assume dress them in Sunday finery and have a tea party with them) before tossing them in the trash.

Wait, is that chemistry?

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at March 15, 2010 1:39 PM

Wow, Bananapanda. Nice.

Posted by: ZombieNurse at March 15, 2010 1:47 PM

If I were a mad scientist, I'd invent healthy cigarettes so I could go back to smoking minus the crippling chest pains. It would be glorious, I'd be a kagillion-aire, and people might like me again.

Posted by: Melody at March 15, 2010 1:55 PM

Can I get several boxes of these on a rush order?

You are in luck, branded! I am taking advance orders! $29.95 for a four-pack of your choice:
4-Instant Bajingos!
4-Instant Dicks!
2-Instant Bajingos and 2-Instant Dicks! (aka The Bi-curious Combo Pack!)

A compound that affects you neurologically, preventing you from ever lying to yourself or suffering self-delusion about anything.

Finally make everyone deal with reality.

I'm making a chemical that will kill, but only people that are involved in the making and distribution of any film that gets a bad review on Pajiba.

If I were a superhero, I'd want a handful of all of the above in my utility belt. Especially the Instant Bajingo/Dick combo pack. Yowza! Take that, jackass! And you are welcome! But, then, what kind of superhero would I be? Something like: "Dr. Awakening-Strange-Feelings-and-New Sensations Man"?

Posted by: Lance at March 15, 2010 3:25 PM

I'd invent some kind of chemical that you could spray at those people who don't shut up during movies - not only would it deactivate their voice box and automatically silence their cell phone for two hours, but also create a sound in their ears similiar to nails scraping a chalkboard.

The last movie I saw in the theater was The Hangover...on a Sunday morning in the Lux Level. It was amazing. Expensive, but like a Mastercard commercial - only listening to the movie you paid for: PRICELESS

Posted by: Kiko at March 15, 2010 3:26 PM

My ideas have already been done. The first would be the drug created in formula 51 with Samuel L. Jackson (only it would be real, and work)...the second would be the weed that was created in the end of Road Trip. What can I say...I'm actually interested in making money.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at March 15, 2010 3:27 PM

Uh, Pinky, can I get the combo pack? The dicks are for, um, my friend. He likes putting dicks in his butt. He ain't gay. He, uh, just likes to experiment, ya know? HE AIN'T GAY.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at March 15, 2010 3:28 PM

First off, I'd need a front company to funnel money into my "secret, diabolical chemical company"; so I'd invest in a Murdertank production facility. Using said money, I'd fund my own chemical genius to create the ultimate drug...a drug that would wipe Twilight off of the face of the Earth.

Using a specifically targeted memory inhibitor, I'd block all memories and thoughts of Twilight from the fans who love it. Instead, the fans would just be zonked out, mental zombies. (Not too far removed from their current state, the only difference being they'd be immobilized, speechless, and stupid.)

Whilst under this medically enhanced stupor, I'd call upon a crack team of collectors and destroyers to eliminate all pieces of Twilight memorabilia/printed word/printed film/etc. (This is where the Murdertank Production Facility front comes in handy. All Murdertanks would be equipped with flamethrowers, incinerators, and a copy of the Watchmen "various artists" soundtrack.)

After these efforts were carried out, we would all relax and reap the profit of our successful Shadow Government. Soundly ensconced in a world where Stephenie Meyer is drugged with this chemical and confined to the basement lab under our kick-assed looking mansion, and Twilight does not exist.

Note: I'm currently accepting applications for the Military/Corporate branches of my little endeavour. You all know where to apply.

Posted by: DoctorControversy at March 15, 2010 3:44 PM

I would like to combine some complex carbons and mineral deposits to make a substance so identical to gold that no one could tell the difference and make a killing in the Taiwanese black market buying children and selling them to poor but well-meaning couples who lack the proper egg-to-sperm combinations to bear fruit of their own, thus bettering the lives of many a family unit whilst lining my own pockets.

Unfortunately, that would probably lead to a massive imbalance of wealth in the global economy. Plus, who cares about Taiwanese children?

So I'd like to make a pill that transforms all the waste products in your shit into a coconut-scented liquid that you then urinate, thus eliminating the need to poop FOREVER! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! *Lurks away into the darkness*

Posted by: ChristianH at March 15, 2010 3:48 PM

I'm more of a mechanical genius than a chemistry one. I think I'd invent a box that makes money. I'd call it the Mojajay.

Oh, crap, I already have one of those (cough, cough, wipe, cough).

OK, I'd invent a box that makes money while I'm out doing something I want to do.

Posted by: BWeaves at March 15, 2010 4:01 PM

exploranora, I use and love this: Crystalrock deodorant.

Posted by: Cindy at March 15, 2010 4:03 PM

AHA! I would develop a series of deceptions designed to alter the social fabric for the power of good!

A keyboard with slow-release endorphin compounds so that people getting all upset will become more relaxed and happy as they proceed to work and write. Happy Internet, voila!

Sub-harmonic seatbelts - slowly but surely prompting awareness, alertness, and subtle compassion cues. Enjoy your drive, you'll be there soon!

Volume-sensitive alcohol that prompts a 'too full' response at JUST the right moment of perfect inebriation. Best night ever!

Of course, I pretty much want to create ultra-dense nutritious compounds and multi-purpose shelter materials and the like, but I figure I should start out small so I don't end up in a ditch or in a pageant first.

Posted by: replica at March 15, 2010 4:12 PM

I'm going to go the easy route, and invent the penis enlarging pill. Then I can do whatever I like with the 60-70% of the world's cash I'll have. Muahahahahahaha! Hell, even the stuff that doesn't work makes tons of cash. Men are dumb.

Posted by: mrcreosote at March 15, 2010 4:57 PM

Presenting Sparkle Spackle (patent pending). It's emo vampire in a jar! You no longer have to have sex at truck stops while not bathing for weeks at a time to get the same glitter-in-the-sunshine look as Robert Pattinson.

Supplies are ready now, so don't wait for final FDA approval! They're all hung up on the whole "100% of users died of spontaneous immolation" as if it were an intended side effect. Those silly geese. The tingling third degree burns just mean it's working!

Posted by: branded at March 15, 2010 5:15 PM

I would create something that let you turn into a vampire at will, that way you can bite all the Twilight assholes and let them see how romantic it really is. It would obviously be highly regulated, as it's use is for moron-warfare.

Posted by: TWoP_Fan at March 15, 2010 6:12 PM

I would very simply come up with something that could make me sleep MORE than four hours a night, because no matter how much meths I eat and pills I take, it just don't happen.

Also, Seth lies, because he is a full-blown narcoleptic.

Posted by: Nicole at March 15, 2010 6:12 PM

The saddest part, mrcreosote, is that even if you invented the perfect boner pill, no one would believe you. No matter how many emails you send. (And you'd want to send them to everyone so they'd learn about this wonderful thing)

There are some great suggestions, but what really gets me every time.. again and again.. is stupid poeple. If I were a mad genius and it were possible, I'd invent a pill that killed off the stupid people of the world. but not just dead, you need them to disintegrate, cuz I don't wanna clean up dead people, and make sure no zombies, not going for zombie apocolypse.. not yet.

If I were just the average chem genius.. I'd go for insta orgasm.. men, women, dogs, whateva.. one pill, one spray, one shot and you nut yourself (like the orgasmo ray in orgasmo, but in spray form)... why be dissapointed, frustrated, etc.. one pill.. insta orgasm.. two pills.. mind blowing orgasm... three pills, you pass out from over nut...

Posted by: Nico at March 15, 2010 7:34 PM

Jerce, gotta say brown-colored chocolate semen is too close to poo to be ok.


Posted by: ThingOfThings at March 15, 2010 7:51 PM

If I were a mad genius chemist I would invent a pill that makes cats fucking behave. No longer would furniture suffer destruction under the claws of felines! No longer would we have to smell the odor of cat piss when they decide to claim a random object as their own! No longer would they crap half-in and half-out of the litter box! No more would they go completely apeshit and race around the house terrorizing each other at the critical moment of every TV show or movie! No more would humans have to endure cat ass in front of the computer screen or on their hands typing at the keyboard! And we their overlords could make them stop shedding on command!

At last, we shall have dominion over the felines of the world and make them stop annoying the ever-loving shit out of us!

I would like to concoct some dog food that will make my Boston Terrier's farts smell like fresh raspberries, his skin like vanilla, and his breath minty. Only problem is I might want to eat him. Still would be better than his usual bog of eternal stench smell.

Posted by: lainiefig at March 15, 2010 10:47 PM

If I were a supergenius chemist I would create 2 cheaply mass-produceable chemical compounds that when mixed had a high mass to energy conversion rate in the resulting reaction. Something close to 100% would be really nice but also extremely difficult to control, so I'd settle for around 5% (I'm pretty sure Nuclear fission is about 1% but I couldn't be bothered checking so I could be completely wrong).

At this point I would have a difficult decision to make, but I'd either produce it to become incredibly rich, or use it to power the combat robots I intend to use to take over my country one day. Currently they use a central massive robot with a Fission reactor inside and charging stations which are used either to charge batteries or produce hydrogen for fuel cells (I'm not sure which yet). This approach has the advantage of the central charing robot being nigh indestructible once the reactor is large enough to produce heavy enough fallout to endanger an entire city, as the authorities will be afraid to attack it.

Unfortunately I don't have the contacts to purchase enriched Uranium, and I wouldn't know how to go about setting up an enrichment facility. Therefore a source of cheap and plentiful energy would be one of the final steps in my plan (the robot designs are mostly done, spoler alert: they look like giant cockroaches).

A scientist both wise and bold
Set out to cure the common cold
Instead he found a power pill
Which he said most certainly will
Change a lamb into a lion
Like an eagle he'll be flyin
Solid steel will be like putty
It'll work on anybody.

Then it was found this power pill
Made the strongest men quite ill
So the secret search began
To find the one and only man
Who can take this power pill specific?
And turn into the most prolific, terrific, Mr. Terrific!

I'd create something that gave us control over the aging process. Maybe the telomeres - very basically, they're the bits on the ends of chromosomes that stop the DNA from deteriorating, and each time a cell reproduces, they get a little bit shorter.

The only question is, do I start by sending a big 'fuck you!' to dementia or cancer?

Staying younger for longer would be pretty awesome, too. I'd recommend starting this particular treatment AFTER puberty.

Posted by: ScienceGeek at March 16, 2010 12:33 AM

so, stardust.. basically, you'd invent a pill to make all cats... dogs? I like it.. Dogs RULE!

A fitness pill, so I can kill my fucking trainer.

That said, I'd vote for the chocolate semen and Mr. Terrific.

I'd create a poison that was odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is among the more deadly poisons known to man.

I'd call it iocane powder.

What? Yeah, but I saw it so long ago I can hardly rememb -- DANG IT!!

I was going to say liquid tit jobs, but someone beat me to it! I was being nice saying that too, since I'm stacked. Hahaha. Anyway, if I had Walter White's skills I would come up with a chemical equation to replicate an orgasm at any time. That way when my fingers are tired or if the guy falls asleep and I want another go, I could slip a little tablet in my mouth, and have enough energy to rock another one out with little to no effort.

Squeamish Pajibettes please note:

(From Answers.com)

What is the nutritional content of human semen?
In: Sex, Sex Education [Edit categories]

Answer
Semen contains only 15 calories and boy does it have a lot of stuff in it. So let's have a look. Ejaculate contains aboutonia, ascorbic acid, blood-group antigens, calcium, chlorine, cholesterol, choline, citric acid, creatine, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), fructose, glutathione, hyaluronidase, inositol, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, purine, pyrimidine, pyruvic acid, sodium, sorbitol, spermidine, spermine, urea, uric acid, vitamin B12, and zinc. Wow! All that stuff is very healthy.

Posted by: , at March 16, 2010 2:45 PM

Part 1:

If you were a chemistry genius, what would you do?


Easy bro, I’d take over Pajiba for teh lolz.

Now I know you thinking “yeah right dude, I know you’re fucking awesome and shit but how do you expect to take over when there’s a bunch of dudes already running this place?”

This is where the chemistry comes in brah.

Our story begins at West Viginia University. The year is 2013. Roland Emmerich was wrong. It’s spring break and most of the students have gone south to party for a week. Most of them. You see, it’s at this time every year that the University holds its annual science fair (in order to avoid major nerd beatdowns by individuals such as myself). They’ve apparently gone 14 straight years without having some dork go home crying because a jock smashed his diorama or whatever the fuck it is kids make these days. This statistic is proudly displayed on the front of the application form for the contest. C-C-C-ComboBreaker!

The morning of the big fair, I get out of the car that I’ve spent 4 days sleeping in (empty water bottles doubling as urinals FTW) and walk towards the gymnasium. There’s a giant poster outside reading ‘Pajiba.com: Scathing Reviews, Bitchy People.’ More like bitchy reviews… scathing people…amiright? Anyway, as you’ve probably guessed, Pajiba is a primary sponsor for the event. Why they do this each year I don’t have a fucking clue. It’s the future, nothing has to make sense.

I walk through the doors and see about 50 stalls set up. Fuck. How the hell am I suppose to know which ones are Pajiba writers? As if on cue, I voice in the back corner yells

“My farm? Here's my mothafuckin' farm!... I'm a lead farmer, mothafucka!”

There’s gotta be less than a handful of people retarded enough to re-enact Tropic Thunder. I walk in their direction.
The first guy I approach is as black as the night. I mean that for real. You could turn the lights out and this guy would go hollow man on your ass. His nametag says ‘TK’ and he’s got some poster set up that says Juicy Beans. What a phaggot. Here’s a photo for those following along at home: http://i42.tinypic.com/ifbx52.jpg

I act cool. “Sup Brah, whatchu got on dat der table?” He suspects nothing.

“Just some magic beans. Gonna grow me a beanstock” he replies emphatically.

“Noice. Well good luck doing that…without a soul!” I quickly grab his jar of beans, throw them into a nearby bucket of water and duck for cover. As every Chemist with a PHD or higher knows, magic beans + water = MICHAELBAYEXPLOSION. Curtains for TK and his vegetable embryos.
1 down, 4 to go.

I'd create a terrible drug, one that's addicting and easily accepted into the body, and put it in the water system. Then I'd destroy the antidotes, and let everyone fucking wallow in their drug induced lunacy until they all fucking died. And I'd watch these events transpire from my roof with a gun and an Arizona green tea.

I move to the next stall where a girl with braces has somehow managed to remain completely oblivious to the preceding decapitation. She too has a nametag, this one reading Stacey Nosek: Princess of Rivendell (the ‘princess’ part was clearly added after the tag was printed). Her stall reads ‘Mosquito Larvae Beware.’ Here is a pic: http://i40.tinypic.com/jzg077.jpg (elbowstoopointy/10)

This one was gonna be easy. “Stacey eh? You know, that was my mother’s name” (strong white knight intro by me).

She blushed.

“You’re parents were thieves weren’t they? They stole the stars and hid them in your eyes.”

She looked down at her feet “you’re ridiculous hehe…”

Things were going good. Time to seal the deal. “You know, I'd doggy paddle through a vat of aged shit, stomach crawl through barb wire, and rub my dick against 50 yards of various pieces of broken glass just so I could hear you fart over a walkie talkie.”

As expected, she became overwhelmed by my romanticising and her head exploded. Now that’s chemistry.
2 down, 3 to go.

Given chemistry skills far madder than those I already possess, I'd cook up something that put a small time delay on thought expression when in an emotional state. This would hopefully force people to think for a second before they said or typed something stupid, thus eliminating many arguments and slashing internet bandwidth.

I would also favour some kind of ice-nine-esque distribution method.

Part 3:

At stall 3 I was met by some tall kid with a scum stash. His tag said Intern Rusty and he was the only fucking kid in the place with a suit on. I was ready to rage at him for this and this alone. He didn’t have much of a project, some jewish propaganda shit about animal magnetism. His pic: http://i41.tinypic.com/m7ako0.jpg

“Hai brah, You intern Rusty?”

“Yeah why?”

“Dustin says you’re fired”

He picked up his poster, pointed his head to the floor, and walked straight out the door. I called out after him.

“You mad brah?”

3 down, 2 to go.

Part 4:

This next dude looked a little like Milhouse without classes. He was the kid you knew back in highschool who acted like he knew everything about everything but in reality he would just go home and masturbate to models in the sears catalogue until I just wish my parents were dead…anyway here’s a pic: http://i39.tinypic.com/6tpwed.jpg
He wasn’t wearing a nametag and to be honest, he didn’t need one. His pizza face practically spelled out Seth Freilich.

I started out with some trolling. “Sup brah? Nice looking electromachine you got der.” He looked pissed already.

“Doubledang!” He sounded like an 11 year with a clothespin over his nose. “It’s not an electromachine you nitwit, it’s a personal computer, an Exelcior 300 to be exact…Schmaa. And leave me alone, the judges will be coming shortly. I don’t want you… Schmaa… cramping my style.”

“You mean like this…” From my pocket I withdrew a flashlight. His face went white.

“Alphanumeric! You wouldn’t dare…I have friends in high places schmaaa. They’ll get you for this! Wow I hope that sounded as cool out loud as it did in my head.”

I laughed. “I see you remember your chemistry 101. The particles from the light beam mixed with your LCD display will create…”

“A deadly carbon monoxide gas? Schmaaaaaaa highly unlikely. I have the most advanced pixels from this side of the Navron.”

“I know, that’s why I brought…anti-protons!” (strong research skills). He fell to his knees and began to sob. He knew his fate now and there was nothing he could do. He bumbled out a few last words.

“Remember me… as a warlock.”

I turned on the light and shined it directly onto the monitor. His face began to melt. After about 30 seconds or so he looked eerily similar to Jeff Goldblum at the end of the fly. It was pretty fucking gross/cool.
4 down, 1 to go.

Part 5:

I approached the final stall. Fucking rights. One more guy to purge and then Pajiba will be mine for the taking. Can’t fucking wait to flood it with neked pics of Harvey Keitel from Bad Lieutenant (no homo). LOLZ WILL BE HAD. OMG CAPS LOCK IS LIKE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!!!

I was surprised to find a pretty normal looking guy working at this stall. His project was titled ‘Power from the throne.’ This had to be Dustin Rowles. Pic: http://i43.tinypic.com/yp9ue.jpg

Part 6:

I walked up to the very edge of this table and stared into his eyes. I got right to the point.

“Sup Brah, I’m taking Pajiba.”

He didn’t respond. Instead, he made this kinda smirk expression and stared right back at me. Here’s a sketch: http://i40.tinypic.com/24yuujk.jpg

Part 7: Conclusion.

I tried again to get a response.
me: “Come at me Bro.”
Him: See sketch
Me: “brah…?”
Him: See sketch
Me: “uhh…ima just go and take it den.”
Him: See sketch
Me: *stare back at him*
Him: http://i40.tinypic.com/24yuujk.jpg
Me: *continue to stare*
Him: See sketch
I round house kicked him in the face. He dropped.
Me: “That’s for making fun of hockey”

THE END. FEELS GOOD MAN.

I was going to pull out all the stops and write something about how I'd better win or it's BEAKER in my Bunsen burner (mimimimimimimimim ... muuuuuuahahahahaha), but Christ on a cracker, that's hardly fair, adventureman, now you're just TOYING with us.

*whips out Pajiba rule book to see if adventureman can win "Breaking Bad" AND EE in the same week, learns he can, pours sulfuric acid on rule book*

I would make a chemical and turn it in to pill form. Something you can take when you drink that recycles your urine back into the exact alcohol content that you originally drank. You would piss pure alcohol without any burning. You'd only have to buy one beer or bottle and you'd be set for the night. You'd pace yourself rather nicely too as you would have to wait until you peed. It would wear off after you've slept. I'd save some money drinking booze from my own junk and you probably wouldn't have to share. Unless your friends were into that. Might be interesting with girls as well :)

Well said, mostly, but don't you feel you're oversimplifying?
