Reply to comment by jar1967 in TIL in 1979, in between a double-header, the White Sox exploded a crate filled with disco records to stands of over 50k disco haters. Thousands flocked to the field afterward, which became so destroyed that they forfeit the 2nd game to the Tigers - the last time in AL history. by JackMacWindowsLinux
It probably ended quite as "well" as I think it did. With plenty of overtime for police, ambulances, hospitals, firefighters, judges and companies installing new window panels.
Just not as well as the organisers thought it would.

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] You are a politician tasked with taking a VR simulation before your presidency. The VR goggles dont work, and you assume power and become the president. You grow hungry with power and become a dictator. After a year of this, you wake infront of a crowd in disbelief, your REAL goggles removed. by [deleted]

I now have a vision of a "daycare". Filled with all kinds of brave warriors, heroes and rogues, who really enjoy and embrace their new lives. Even though they will happily punch anybody in the face, that dares making fun of their outfits.

Reply to comment by SirPiecemaker in [WP] "I'm tired of chess, everyone always challenges me and I always win in the end" Death moans. "I want to mix things up a bit this time" he says, indicating your shelves of Warhammer 40k miniatures. by Visual_Philosopher74
Well depending on just how much lore the protagonist dumps on Death and how good he fuels the Reapers addiction to the plastic crack, he might end up immortal. Playing Death forever while sitting on a golden throne...

No injuries, no property damage, no arrests. Singing, dancing and a bit of noise are fine. Glad everyone had fun

Reply to comment by ARNB19 in TIL the BBC ran a paranormal investigation show called Ghostwatch on Halloween in 1992. The fictional program was filmed to appear as real as possible, using a BBC broadcaster as the host. It only aired once due to the uproar of a frightened public. by kevlarbuns
Or the Spaghetti Harvest, also by the BBC.

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] You have been kidnapped. Your kidnappers are demanding so little ransom that you feel insulted, but not as insulted as you feel when your family still starts to haggle with your kidnappers. by Kitty_Fuchs
Julius Caesar was in a similar predicament once. He demanded a much higher ransom to be asked, or he would get them all crucified. In the meanwhile he spend a comparably comfortable time with them and much camaraderie was shared.
The ransom was raised, the ransom was paid after some time, Caesar got released, Caesar organised an army and had every single pirate crucified.

Reply to comment by GrahamCrackerSnacks in TIL the BBC released a 'Green Book' in 1949 to define comedy guidelines. Among some of the banned topics were jokes about fig leaves and vulgar use of the word 'basket'. by morecharts
It used to be an euphemism for "bastard".
