So there's this cone.

[Chino]

Scored a victory today. I still had to park down stairs, but I pushed her cone about 200 feet with my car all the way to the end of the parking garage. As I came up the stairs I saw someone in a Subaru stealing her space.

Excellent, but where is yesterday's video?

I didn't have much time last night and chose to do/upload my SS vid instead. I'll throw this one up tonight.

[Nick]

So, I was told to visit this thread, and I feel I'm a happier person for having followed through.

Keep up the fine work.

[vtgrad]

Fine work Chino, fine work indeed!

The more I think about it, the more I agree with my wife's assessment of what maybe should be done... since she likes to mark her parking spot and she's obviously not taking the hint with the cone being moved, super-glue that sum-bitch to the parking deck right in front of her chosen space.  At least she'll be happy that it can no longer be moved right?

I wouldn't do that; sure, you may piss her off, but the other people using the parking deck would be more inconvenienced than her. My favorite idea in this thread so far is to replace the cone with one of a different color. It will subtly mess with her, and does not affect anyone else.

[bosk1]

I also don't think super glue is really strong enough to permanently bond a cone to a concrete floor.

[Chino]

I'd like to fill another cone with concrete and replace her with it.

Replace it with Mjölnir.  See if she's worthy.

[BlackInk]

I'm just afraid that she will give up on her cone-plans before Chino has the chance to try one of the really fun ideas in this thread.

[bosk1]

If you replace her cone with in instead of replacing her, that goes from a truly bizarre idea to a really funny one.

[vtgrad]

I was being somewhat facetious with the super glue idea; the irony of the cone not being able to be moved at all and her space forever saved for her.

I also don't think super glue is really strong enough to permanently bond a cone to a concrete floor.

I don't know if super glue can do this:



maybe it can handle a cone.

[kaos2900]

I think you should leave a giant turd under the cone.

and she's obviously not taking the hint with the cone being moved

This is what I find so funny and impressive. She's clearly very determined and is ignoring the fact that people have been moving her cone and parking in her spot.

This is probably not the first time someone has fucked with her. 

[Stadler]

If you're tired of the subtle messing with her (which, and I know I don't speak for anyone else, I wouldn't be) another option is to just part in her saved spot, running right over the cone, leaving it crumpled in a heap under the transaxle.  Just give a huge flaming F*** You to the cone, the idea of the cone, the space saved by the cone, and the person with the gall and gumption to bring a cone into this environment.

I have to say, though, I don't imagine that someone with the temerity to bring a cone into a parking garage in order to secure a spot is going to go gently into that good night.

I just have to say that I love everything about the way this sentence is written.  That is some of the best prose I have seen on this site.

Yep, post of the year material right there.

This suggestion is fabulous.

He gave me a writing boner, especially with the awesome alliteration.

Stadler, I think anyone who lives remotely close to Chino should take Monday off, drive to the garage, watch while he destroys the cone with his vehicle, and wait to see the mortified look on cone lady's face when she sees a Mini Cooper in her beloved spot.

I love this thread more and more with each passing day.

  We wait 11 months, then suddenly out of nowhere we have two genuine contenders for Thread of the Year, this one and the Astonishing MS Paint thread. This forum got good again.

(Off-topic, I know, but will there be a DTF awards this year?)

Right? The MS Paint one is a rehash from the last two album cycles though, whereas this one is that idiotic spontenaety that made me fall in love with DTF to begin with.

You're no longer just a poor boy.

[DeanTheater]

Egads, I just read through this thread this evening.  I havent been on DTF as much.  AMAZING thead


Chino, is there any chance of putting a remote contol vehicle under that cone??  Attach the vehicle under the cone, and when cone lady arrives, and tries to move it, you start driving that cone all batshit around the entire garage level, doing figure 8's, going over previously set up some jumps etc..., all the while,  hidden in your car......



My two cents.  LOVE this thread!

[Chino]

Which one should I use?

We expect some video Monday evening.

Chino, I can't tell you what to wear, and this really isn't office appropriate, but it would be awesome!

Haha  Sweet! 

[TAC]

I'd use them all. When she drives into the lot, there could be like 8 cones all taunting her.

[bout to crash]

, yesss

[Prog Snob]

Setup a wireless cam and give us the info to access it remotely.

[Chino]

Lady got her spot today. I was running late as shit this morning and showed up thirty minutes later than usual.

[hefdaddy42]

I think you should dress the cone up like a Dalek and see if she fucks with it then.
