I want one, too!

Oh sure but who's going to clean up that mess???

(I'm a mom. Can you tell?)

*bites tongue*

That wasn't directed at zoodle's comment -- just trying not to make a crude comment about goo shooters. ;)

Non-lethal maybe, but I would use that on a crowd here in FL. So, many broken hips, too much potential for a lawsuit.

A new weapon to battle squirrels?

I don't think Goo Shooters WBAGNFARB.....then again maybe. (Nah, too close to the Foo Fighters).

I, um, thought that guys of the male gender, er, already, ah...

Oh, nevermind.

SNORK atchya, Kate.

Ladies, I think you're referring to a goo 'squirter'.

This would be great for rush hour.

Oooo, a triple-simul & a snork... I'm spent.

Damn, that should be wouldn't, and there's an extra comma up there.
*reaches up and grabs comma*
*shoots goo all over the floor*
*slips and falls*

For a second there I thought I was going to be taken to an add for a certain adult type of movie that we men do not like to watch.

psst...fivver...a goo "squirter" might not be so good for rush hour.

.... more for after "happy hour"

Would that be the happy hour climax?

blurk, Oh, I definitely want the shooter for rush hour. I was just trying to help out Leetie and Kate with the squirter other comment.

I'm with Zoodle - how do you clean it up? Maybe that is the testing they are doing now. I want one for the next office party......it would be like twister without the mat.

"And it could spell trouble for a vehicle in motion. 'If they are traveling at high speeds it may not be non-lethal,' said Davison."

Nothing accomplishes crowd control like death. Methinks many a lawsuit will result from goo shooting. Unlike goo squirting, which may result in child support lawsuits....

This will go great with my Kevlar vest and gas mask!

Researcher Neil Davison, who coordinates the Bradford Non-Lethal Weapons Research Project at the University of Bradford in the U.K., cautions such a system could cause more chaos and harm than initially intended.

Aw come on. Anyone who's ever watched Saturday cartoons knows EXACTLY how much chaos and harm this will cause.

Guy and woman in a restaurant on a blind date:

Woman: So what do you do for a living?

Man: I'm a goo shooter.

Woman: Waiter, check please!

Man: No wait, you don't understand. It makes people fall down.

Woman: Waiter! I said check please! Now!!

Unlike goo squirting, which may result in child support lawsuits....

*Snork*

"This is about adding more tools to the toolbox," said Brigance.

Doesn't he mean the "goobox"?

OK, I'm going.

Non-lethal maybe, but I would use that on a crowd here in FL. So, many broken hips, too much potential for a lawsuit.

Yeah, fud, those seniors can get feisty come early bird dinner time.

ummmmmm why did I get the Phizer ad in the middle of the article about a goo shooter? Coincidence??

#$%*&^% page won't load. sumpin must be gummin up the works

nannie, just imagine the Ghostbusters back pack except this one shoots out super-slick goo to make people fall, cars wreck and all sorts of other pandelerium.

Officer: Sir, the rabble are rousing. Should I use tear gas or water cannons?

Captain: (signing while donning his backpack) Who you gonna call?

Chorus: Ghost Squirters!

Captain: That loses a little something, doesn't it?

Wouldn't this make the people chasing the "bad guys" aka the police, fall down too? As a workers compensation nurse I can see the nightmare of paperwork now............. Insurance company." You were using what? And then you fell on top of twenty people?"

These aren't the first guys to come up with this idea.

The problem, as folks here have figured out, is that it tends to lead to broken arms and legs (both problems have occurred in previous testing). And, of course, the problem of how to get paramedics over to the injured....

... The nozzles can shoot the non-toxic material up to 25 feet, enough leeway to slime the ground in front of a maddening mob ...

Yeah. It really makes me disgusted and angry, when I'm maddened by a mob ... sorta takes the fun out of the day ...

I'm thinkin' Gary Larson here -- the one with the banana peel in the ball bearing and ?motor oil factory.

Goo Stew!!! P_____UU!!!
Will tan yor hide,
When ya slip and slide!!!

(quote from Hogdon Smash)

I wonder if the World Cup security troops know about this...

Similiar to the Sick-Sticks from Minority Report?
