Every geek needs to arm themselves with weaponry against the “not-so-smarts.”
Apparently we have a lot of “those people” in ministry… just kidding!
But, we’re not kidding about the Rocket Launcher.
We’re a bunch of geeks at the 8BIT Network. We’re pretty proud of that fact. Join us in our geekery.
Comment below sharing one “target” you’d have the rocket launcher acquire if you had this sitting strategically on your desk.
Go.

I am the CEO of 8BIT and a Full Time Entrepreneur/a>. I like what I do.
I would aim it at the guy who wears a turtleneck everyday. I mean, who wears a turtleneck?
LOL!

This one’s easy… I’ll just set it up facing a spare monitor that’s constantly running Internet Explorer 6. Need I say more?
Kudos & Ditto.
whoa.it’s a little rude to mock the dead, man.

Easy. My boss.
And when the day comes that I can tell him I am leaving for greener pastures is the day I press that button and fire these at him. Really. I’ll even have it on video.
I would target my Think Geek Dismember Me Zombie plush toy. The greatest plush toy of all times. Maybe I can knock off its head 🙂
Myself.
People that launch Skype at login from a dmg.
YES!
My in-basket. Something’s got to be done…the pile keeps growing!
As a creative director, I have my office in the church. While I must admit that there is not a lot of room on my desk, my girlfriend insists on pulling up a chair to the other side and putting her Macbook against mine so that we look like we are playing a game of high-tech Battleship. This drives me crazy, because I have set up another desk on the other side of the room for her to work at.
Don’t think I’m too cold – we joke about it a lot.
…but yes – I would definitely aim it at her!
I don’t work in an office, but I’d point it at my bedroom door so my sister won’t bug me anymore while I’m on the computer. And maybe it would deter her from stealing my computer without asking.
I’d point directly at the “End Call” button on my officemate’s phone. There is no possible way that anyone could have 5 meetings in a day! Really?!
I’d shoot anybody that came in the office. Why not?
aimed over my shoulder at the intern that sits behind me.
I am the web developer. He is the sysadmin. He recently made an air-freshener stink bomb that was affixed under my desk … I need this for retaliation!
ha ha ha, giving away lots of stuff I see. Very cool.
I would setup the rocket launcher to shoot over my shoulder to hit my boss who tend to shuffle behind me when I am lost in what I am doing. bang, missile launched.
My manager sits right across from me, face to face, …
My pastor… I hate it when he’s right
I’d launch it at the teen that comes in my office every week asking “can have this?”
Aw it doesn’t work with a mac…
If it did it would go to lectures with me and my lecturer would be targeted (there might be a flaw in that strategy).
My dog- so he’ll stop “cleaning” my magic mouse.
Over the cube wall at the volume knob of all the people who crank their streaming radio.
I’d aim it at myself. That way if I start to doze off, I could launch it and wake myself up! Add coffee to the mix and I’m wide awake.
It would have to be my sound man. Put it right on the edge of the stage and if it’s not loud enough or rockin enough for me – POW!!!
Obviously it would be aimed at @benjmiller. We currently have an arsenal of 4 nerf guns that we use liberally around the office in sneak attacks. This would be the nuclear option when someone baracades themselves in the conference room. With no ceiling Benj would be asking to get bombed.
whoever brought a better lunch than me that day.
I would have to attach it to a hat so I could use it while walking through the crowds in NYC. or maybe figure out how to attach it to my car for all the dumb drivers that always end up in front of me 😉
I think I’d target my old iMac sitting at home. It seems that I get angry at it’s lack of speed every time I sit down at it. Thankfully, that’s not too often.
Tony Steward. He pegged me with a nerf-ball when I was in OKC last week and I’ve been plotting my revenge ever since.
Since i am a freelancer and either work at home or multiple cafes and bookstores, i would either aim it at my dogs, or people at the cafes and bookstore who monopolize the power outlets!!!
I would fire ballistic strikes from several cubicles away. This would, of course, require precise mathematical calculations, but I think I could probably fire those suckers like a scud missile 😉
I think I would have it target people who came in my office asking for last minute service changes after being asked if there were any changes earlier in the week – especially if they knew about the change early in the week.
I like Chris’ idea, aimed at anyone coming through the door to ask for last minute ANYTHING when they knew about it before hand. Are those darts armed with knock out gas?
