Greetings. I'm Lunatic Goofballs, and I'm here to talk to you about defenestration. What is defenestration? Defenestration is part art, and part sport. You've seen it on television and in the movies. You may have seen a few in real life. Hell, you might have been defenestrated yourself. I have.

Anyhoo... I realize that defenestrations can be dangerous and violent and under the wrong circumstances can lead to death and destruction. One shout always be careful to select the proper defenestratee as well as the proper location for the defenestration. Otherwise serious harm can befall the chosen object/person.

This, might be your intention, however. Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you. Only defenestrate objects with intent to cause damage. And always take care as to who else could be harmed by the defenestrated object. Defenestrations can often pick up quite a bit of velocity at higher elevations.

But let's fantasize for a bit; What, if anything or anyone would you like to defenestrate? Try to be creative. Or at least silly. :)

What, if anything or anyone would you like to defenestrate?
Prague...
Or is that too cliché?

I would love to defenestrate a select group of forumers here, not the ones that disagree with my posts mind you, just a couple of the teeth grittingly ignorant bagblisters we get. As far as inanimate objects go, I would love to defenestrate a bowling ball, a tuna fish, and a vat of melted ice cream for starters..

Myself. But I'd see to it that there was a trampoline or some sort of air mattress there first.

I would defenestrate the baby along with the bath water.

A watermelon

LOL

The most prominent person from evey major religion in the world. The one with the best save would get my undying worship.

I would like to defenestrate the guy who came up with a whole new word for "throwing out a window." I mean I'm lazy, but I'm not the one making up whole new words to get around saying a few extra syllables. That's a lazy bastard, and I would defenestrate him.

Damn you to hell!

*Mumble* take away the funny things i have to say will you*
*Evil Gare*

I Defenestrate Neo-Anarchists
*Adds a sloped hill and refuse to stop pain caused by said defenstration*

yeah but there isnt a word for "bashing someone upside the head with a 2x4"

so why defenestration? is there some place in the world where its as common as snow?

a thousand bouncy balls.

yeah but there isnt a word for "bashing someone upside the head with a 2x4"

sure there is smack-aww!!estration

Ah yes, defenstration. The noble sport of throwing things, people, creatures etc, through windows. Considered for the 1932 Olympics but passed over, as was Turkish oil wrestling. A great loss to defenstrators everywhere.

Part of the reason why it never became an Olympic event was in standardisation. There would have to be an international standard window for the event, on this, all agreed. There was a proposal, by the Belgians, for it to be 1.2M high by 800mm wide. But the Germans insisted on something more in keeping with the status of the sport, as did the French. The latter offered the "Versailles Standard Window", an amazing 3.5M high by 2.8M wide. The British, who had so recently finished bricking up thier excess windows in the 1800's after Walpoles "Window Tax" amendments were in favour of the Russian proposal, which was more like a series of small holes cut into a block of wood. The Dutch wanted the windows to be made from something biodegradable, like cheese, which was a concept far ahead of its time.

And so, lost in the basics, the event was removed from consideration. It must be said though that the 2008 event has two sports yet to be declared. Maybe defenestration will once again take its place amongst the major sports?

it all comes down to politics in the end.

too bad there was no UN in 1932

Simple the Romans Didnt use 2x4 they used 4x2! :p
Im Sure its called Fasicsiti or what ever that Axehandle bundle of sticks is called.
That my friend is your Head smacking Defenestration word!

Searching for the definition of 'defenestration' on Google brings no solid definition (if you use the definition feature in Google after you do a search).

EDIT

Oh, sure...NOW it works after I made this post.

Go to Hell, Google. :mad:

EDIT EDIT

I nominate Google for fenestration.

If there was anyone or anything I wanted to defenestrate, I'd do it from the top floor of a skyscraper, and make sure they deserved it.

Alternately, from the top floor of a skyscraper;

Sandwiches in bags.

Yay for cratered pavements! (sidewalks for you Americans)

water balloons are always fun to defenestrate when people are below and unwitting. :)

Some of the more interesting items I have defenestrated (among other things) include: waterballons - lots and lots of waterballons, a carton of rotten eggs, assorted spoiled fruit, myself (low window), my younger brother (slightly higher window :D), my grand uncle's aluminum can collecting tongs (on to the roof of a car - 20 stories below - age 4 years was fun!), a superball (5th floor - it didn't reach all the way back up :(), a flowerpot (also 5th floor - a most excellent SMASH! :D), assorted fireworks (including a large ball of flash cotton on a fuse), and the entire contents of a large trash can.

The rotten eggs and fruit were "applied" to a group of bosozoku* who'd been waking up the whole neighborhood. No cops after three nights, so a little display of displeasure worked really well.

Some things I'd like to defenestrate from my current 5th floor window:
a TV or monitor
a watermelon
several large buckets of paint
some whale sushi (just for bragging rights - how many people do you know who can throw a whale out a window? ;))

A penny from near the top of the Empire State Building would also be entertaining.

They'd use a IIxIV! ;)

(Fascis is the word you want, I believe.)


*Bosozoku are a very Japanese sort of gang - rotten teenaged Japanese boys who, among other things ride around through residentrial neighborhoods late at night on scooters with the mufflers removed, reving them constantly, so as to create as much noise and attract as much attention as possible.

Oh boy. That's creative. It's a picture of John Kerry...Photoshopped into a picture of Osama bin Laden. I can't believe no one else has ever thought of that!!! :rolleyes:

On that note, I'd like to defenestrate whoever came up with that stupid image. Several times, if possible.

Try feces next time. :)

We considered of that. The rotten eggs and fruit were actually on hand at the moment, and thus easier.

There hasn't been any trouble with these idiots in a long time. If they decide to do it again, they may find themselves being defenestratred. :D

Pity there isn't a latin word for throwing someone into a mud pit. I've been involved with a lot of those.
