GYZero - Rage Against the Machine

Stage one: Intel gathering
Stage one had to be intelligence gathering. No use pranking Ben at home if he wouldn't be there! We a;sp had to throw him off our scent, and perhaps give us a reason for being there, so when we knocked, he answers the door. Skype is our preffered method of skulking for info, and here's what stage one entailed.

[10:29:22] Tom says: so many good ones

A reason to be there, Ben has my SD card for reasons yet to be revealed to the SFZero Community

Intelligence gathered, it was now time to start the planning.

Stage two: Planning and preparation
So, what to do, what to do. I (Tom) go downstairs hunting for supplies and am confronted by a large stack of surplus plasterboard, which was eagerly snapped up. It was decided that this, a pot of floor paint, some marker pens, and Killing in the Name played through portable speakers would be enough to annoy Ben.



Me and Adam then enjoyed a thoroughly entertaining bus journey with our stash of plasterboard. During which many 'It's a long story'-s and 'I wouldn't ask'-s were employed to keep the inquiring public at bay. (by inquiring public, we mean 80 year olds, and bus drivers) Once we arrived at our destination, we lugged our boards and paint down to Daryl's house, where we enjoyed painting various signs and guitar hero whilst those signs dried. Then we set off to Ben's, whit the paint still wet. So the signs had to be held outwards. Toward the public. The aggressive public of Great Yarmouth. The insulting signs, to the aggressive public of our lovely town. At least we gave Daryl the big one.

Stage three: Action
We staked out Ben's bungalow for about 10 minutes before moving in for action, hiding behind his car we planned the location of the signs on the steps and paved area outside his front door. "Go!". I ran up to the drive with the smaller signs and Tom placed the guitar hero board against the wheelie bins. Daryl prepped his MP3 player for Rage Against the Machine to be played and we were poised and ready. As quietly as we could we returned to behind the car and sent Tom out to knock on the door. But, fail, Ben's very nice mother arrived to confront our offensive signs. No!



Finally Ben arrived at the door after about 3 minutes, probably spent putting on a t-shirt, only to catch a glimpse of the signs and slam it in our face, not realising the wonderful work that went into this offensive barrage of signage. To be fair to him he did reopen the door and find the whole thing jolly jovial. Ben's mum then offered us a cup of tea and said she would take the signs down to the dump, she really is a nice person. And of course we wouldn't be true men if we didnt try and crack them over our heads, at which Tom sucked, but Adam won.



So, in conclusion, Daryl's MP3 sucks, Tom has a weak head, Adam is good on a trampoline and Ben sucks at Guitar Hero.
