Shall we raise our shields, Captain?

I'm going straight to the girls' locker room with this thing.

 

That was going to be the title of the thread, but I thought it would be received poorly.

 

I think you underestimate the goodwill you have built up here.

 

The most predictable post of the year and I'm pissed I didn't think of it first.
Well played, sir.

 

Aye, captain! Cloaking device engaged.

 

That's an interesting thought. I guess I just wimped out.

It does remind me of junior high, when we had convinced some guy there was a secret steam tunnel that led from our locker room to the girls' locker room. He actually believed it and started looking for it behind the wall.

Of course, this is the same guy who thought he could gradually carve a brick out of the exterior wall with a pocketknife while waiting for the bus. He actually made some decent headway in Year 1, but during the summer the janitor made the 15-second fix with some filler, and that was the end of that.

He did save us one summer by discovering a way to prop open a window without anyone noticing. We used that secret entrance once after a game when some moronic school official failed to leave the building open so we could get to the locker room.

 

What a time to be alive.
Just amazingly cool.

 

I saw this on the front page of the paper and just about broke my jaw when it hit the floor. Maybe the coolest story I've ever seen.

 

First application of said shield: wrap the thingamajigger around a midget, stealth him to NoKo, and take out Wang Dung Doodle Kim.

 

Is that written in English?
