Dog Poop Flinger?

[wishiwas]

Who posted the poop-flinger post on the old board? It's actually pretty funny.

[Nic]

It's a great thread. We seem to be hitting a bit of a hiatus though, where people are posting on both boards. I think it's time to kill off the old BB otherwise this one will never take off. Didn't Sonia and Prashant say they could migrate the old board threads?

[wishiwas]

I didn't post on the poop thread on the old board, just reading has been so entertaining!

[happygirl]

I was reading the thread about the poop flinger and I am a little confused. Is it only one guy flinging poop on people who do not pick up after their dogs? or is it like a group of people who banned together trying to clean up Newport by throwing dog poop on lazy dog owners? I cannot imagine someone throwing any kind of poop on me, it makes me sick even thinking about it. Does the police know about this guy? Because I do not think it is legal to throw poop on someone no matter what the reasons are.

[Nic]

Some guy is targeting people who allow their dogs to poop on the sidewalk, by throwing the poop at the owners.This seems to have the benefit of keeping the sidewalks clean and dissuading lazy dog owners from letting their animals poop everywhere. It is a bit gross, but no more gross than pooping on the pavement, I guess. I don't suppose dog poop is anymore hygienic than human poop, so pesonally I would prefer it on the backs of selfish dog owners than on my shoes.

[anita]

i wonder what the legal implications of this case could be. if someone did get arrested for flinging dog excrement, what would the charges be? i do remmeber someone on the other board suggested assault as an appropriate choice. that statement naturally conjured up an image in my mind of dog poop shaped and modeled to resemble an assault rifle and provided many minutes of silly laughter...

[happygirl]

How does he pick up the poop? Well I am sure dog owners who know they are guilty of not picking up after their dogs are going to be more aware and it probably will not be as easy to hit them as it has been. Is it only in Newport or all over Jersey city?

[John Adams]

I wouldn't worry about the poop flinger attacking anyone as long as you pick up after your dog.

He carries plastic bags and waits around for people to let their dogs go without cleaning it up.

[happygirl]

If he is following people to see if they pick up after their dog, then isn't he considered a stalker? Somehow I find it hard to believe that he just sits there and waits for dogs to poop in front of him.

he doesn't really have to strain himslef to find a dog/owner combination that is engaged in redocaration of newport's public areas. all he has to do is sit on one of the benches by the river for longer than a minute and some bright individual is bound to come walking by explaining to their pooch how it's perfectly ok to s*it on the lawn.

[Nic]

My experience is that some dog owners seem to like to have their dogs poop right in front of you. Honestly, if you haven't had the experience you clearly don't sit on a bench in Newport. Find a nice romantic evening and a bench with a nice view of Lower Manhattan, the sounds of leaves rustling in a gentle sea breeze and the smell of sea fever, then see which comes first - somebody jabbering away at full volume on their mobile phone (do we have a lot of people with deaf relatives in Newport) or somebody having their pet pee or plop under your nose. Or somebody doing both.

[sanity]

It's good to see that things never change. What would life be without a little consistency?

Maybe we need seperate forums for certain issues that crop up every year: Heat, Cable/Internet, Security/Terrorism, Noise (playground and non-playground related) and, of course, dog poop.

[happygirl]

yeah I have a feeling that the most popular forum would be the one about dog poop. There has to be a solution to the problem but flinging poop on someone is not the answer. He will pick the wrong person to throw dog poop on and the next thing you know he will be a dead "poop flinger"!

I think flinging poop is a fabulous idea. I hate dog owners who just leave their crap behind.

Other suggestions for vigilantes:
1. Human Abuser-- any time someone abuses an animal, this person (in a black cloak and hood) comes by and inflicts the same treatment on the person.

2. Boogey flinger- This guy sits at intersections and when he sees someone picking their nose in a car, he flicks giant wads of slime on their windshield.

3. Heat Seeker- This guy trolls the upper levels of the buildings to make sure those people are using their heater (thus reducing the amount of heat that will rise from the people below). If they're not using their heat, he sets their apartment on fire in order to warm many people's apartments for free.

4. Paddleman- If your children won't be quiet and/or stop crying in public, this guy gives them something to cry about - as he paddles their bottoms.

5. Genepool Lifeguard- This guy protects our future through strong cholorination (read: chemical castration) of the gene pool every 5-7 days.

6. (from Nic) Cigarette extinguisher. When someone throws a lit cigarette on the street out of a car, this person tosses it back in their window. And tells them to have a nice day.

[happygirl]

Kate,

LOL you are too funny!!!! :)

I would add:

Nic-I like that one, a lot. Sorry I didn't think of it. But I'm adding it to my post.

Really funny, Katie! A few more...

7. Cell-phone shocker: A low voltage shock is applied to a mobile users ear-lobe when their voice exceeds a certain set decibel level.

8.Vanity mirror lock: The driver side vanity mirror is locked as soon the car starts, preventing drivers from using it when they drive.

I got behind some tosser this morning in a BMW who was eating a banana, smoking a cigarette, drinking a coffee AND was on a mobile phone. Needless to say driving wasn't one of the things being accomplished with much dexterity.

[happygirl]

I got one...

9) when someone stinks, this person whips out a bar of soap and gives them a quick wash down.

[demiking]

How about people who spit out their chewed gum on the sidewalk? Really, what do they have against swallowing the gum?

[wishiwas]

Swallowing gum is dangerous!

[happygirl]

I was just wondering whatever happened to the poop flinger? Has he thrown anymore poop on anyone or maybe someone threw poop on him? :p

[demiking]

I pick up my after my dog -- but if I didn't and someone flung poop on me, he better start running, cause I would attempt to kick his @#*.

[Nic]

I am sure the dog poop thrower and you need never cross paths because you are clearly not one of those selfish, disgusting people he targets.

[sanity]

All that buttering up... I wonder what nic plans with the toast?

[Tara]

Poop Flinger is not allowed on Newport Property. If he gets caught, security will call the cops. I usually pick-up afer Taco and Daisy, but if he ever tries anything on me, I will kick him where it hurts!! ;)

What do you mean usually?

[Tara]

Not to gross anyone out Wishiwas, but sometimes doggy poop is watery, and what is needed is a hose, not a baggy. Foretuneately, Lefrak's porters are very good in getting the hose. :o

Yay, looks like I'm finally a full fledged member!

[Katie_Scarlett]

Tara - EW, but so true. I knew what you were getting at. I think Mr. Hanky just wanted to talk about poop. ;)

[wishiwas]

Tara,

Despite what KS said, I wasn't pulling your leg. I never owned a dog and I never lived with a dog in a place without a backyard/woods. But I get your point, now.

[Nic]

I guess if the poop is too runny to pick up the poop-thrower can't throw it either.

I can't believe security would stop somebody throwing poop. There are no signs up saying "no poop throwing" but there are plenty of signs saying "don't let your dog poop here because it's unhealthy, dangerous to kids and turns the neighbourhood into a slum" (or somesuch), but I've never seen security stop people letting their dogs mess the sidewalk.

WIW: it's called sarcasm: (särkzm) 1. A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.

So sorry to offend your sensibilities... on the other hand, humans get upset stomachs, I find it hard to believe that you couldn't stretch your imagination to figure out that dogs have runny poop too.

hey Katie. Just thought I'd drop a line. How you doin'? If your stomach is still upset, try some Robitussin

[Katie_Scarlett]

The only time I get an upset stomach, LLM, is when I have to read the spew that you vomit up on these boards.

But to be fair, Robitussin isn't for upset stomachs, it's a cough/cold medicine. http://www.robitussin.com/index.asp

You never did address what I said to p*ss you off... but as always, it's GREAT hearing from you.

[Nic]

Sometimes I feel like just part of one big happy family...

[anita]

that's just your scotish side talking... ;)

You don't watch Chris Rock on HBO, do you? You would know why i made that reference.

On health care


"When I was a kid, we didn't have no insurance. You had to be (nearly) dead to see a doctor. You had to be way past Robitussin. That's all we had when I was a kid. Robitussin. No matter what you got, Robitussin better handle it. 'Daddy, I got asthma.' Robitussin. 'I got cancer.' Robitussin. I broke my leg, Daddy poured Robitussin on it. (Rock imitates dad) 'Yeah boy, let that 'Tussin get in there. Yeah, let that 'Tussin get down to the bone. That 'Tussin oughta straighten out the bone.' "

I think Chris Rock is funny. Do you?

I don't know. but now, I just sit back and enjoy it.

[sanity]

Does this make you Rock's Sancho or Rocinante?

[wishiwas]

Katie, why do you have to be such a nasty person? You're breaking my heart! :confused:

[wishiwas]

Well, to be honest: I only poop solids and my poop smells like roses. Your turn.

[LostinLaMancha]

My poop is bitter sweet. Especially when I poop really hard solids. Its feels bitter when it is coming out, but it feels really sweet once its out.
