Destruction Therapy

Castejon, in northern Spain, sponsored an anti-stress session for locals in which they supplied sledgehammers and appliances and let everyone go to town.

    I like this. It’s like that Office Space scene. I wonder if they played music at this thing. Or if it was just the natural sounds of crunching that kept people going…

    I bet our own Mary Jeys was about to post this! Anyway–these guys need guns. Ripping into an old washing machine with a B-A-R is good; a .50 cal is even better. Watch that fucker fly.

    P.S. Look at the times on these two comment postings. Do I know fellow flockers or what!

    A few years ago, I had an idea for an amusement business with a similar flavor. A small complex of rooms furnished with breakables and designed to be quickly “reset” are rented by a customer who is given a period of time during which she may destroy according to her desire. The price schedule is modular and quite flexible in order to accomodate a reasonable spectrum of destruction scenarios (similar, I would think, to a brothel or the like). For example, I would probably confine my destruction session to the bathroom because I think it would be very satisfying to smash a porcelain sink with a hammer. The insurance for the business will be ridiculous, but I think the demand for this sort of activity is such that it could be pretty profitable.

    I see a future in you.

    Aaron, you and Daryl should go into business together. His fantasy amusement park is one where people can operate heavy machinery–bulldozers, cranes, and the like. Maybe you could combine the two, where the broken stuff gets carted away by a guy paying to drive the bulldozer.
