Oh, and while i'm at it, my neighbor is gonna bring over his dead hp scanner (one of the glass and see-thru ones)..

and Damian, can I use your flamethrower Idea with a can of axe?
 
DAMNIT, i have most of my phone done, but I need to add the finishing touches (the flamethrower)...

I can't find a good place. Would a cell phone be safe to burn, anywho?
 
Okay, i'm TOTALLY ready to torch, got my phone and my HDD packed in a bag, as well as my digicam and camcorder. just gotta find a safe place to burn everything...

I had a 2400+ under the torch.
PCI RAID card
(2)Creative sound cards.
Creative Modem
Kingston Ethernet card
Crappy Modem Riser card
AOL CD

I went out to do my thing and one of my friends who is a Lt. for the City of Strongsville PD showed me his jewelry. Don't feel like going to jail, and have a friend take me there!!
I will wait for later... haha

Maybe I will just use a hammer on the whole pile. Should I just give the lot away to the members on this forum? OR to the OC gods?
 
this is retarded, i went walking outside with a bottle of stainless steel cleaner, a lighter, and my busted up 9600, and my dad goes off on me "no justin! thats unsafe. when you do stupid things, stupid things happen to you... blah blah blah"

he thinks hes the wisest of the house, but he's also the one that thinks a black cat will blow off someones ahnd (one went off in my hand at a friends house once... it just felt like i got shot with a paintball there)... anyways, later tonight i'm gonna do it in the back yard anyways... and i WILL have videos!! (screw him... he tries stopping me from doing anything fun whenever i try)

Sure, just make sure to take out the battery. Otherwise the phone should be safe. Oh, and tell your parents not to sue me if you manage to kill yourself.

lol, they won't even know where I am LOL

anyway, finished with the destruction, there will be 2-3 more posts to signify what I did
 
Okay, well heres the harddrives. I had a fun time doing this. They were old 5400rpm Western Digital Caviar SE brothers from an old dell computer from my neighbors (he gave them to me a WHILE ago)... both refused to show in bios, and we dubbed them dead. First, I opened them up around 7 months ago, and they've been sitting there takin up space. There were two, a 40gb one (which sounded like it was gonna explode), and a 20gb one. I opened em both, the 40gb with 2 platters, the 20gb with one... I already messed around with the 20gb one and the 40gb one, scratching the platters. the 40gb one, I took scissors, and then just scratched it like a CD. for the 20gb one, I did what I did to the 40gb one in the following video named '40GBHDDScissors'. You'll see. The two brothers went through a lot of torture, but I spared the little brother a tad.

Look and Watch the videos in the order listed (top to bottom), videos are small 1-2meg AVI files playable in WMP. I'll write [Video] to the left of the link.


The older brother, who had stood up for his little brother:

The little brother then saw his big brother getting hurt. He came to stop the evil-doer. Unfortunately, he couldn't do jack **** :D :

The evil-doer had been shaken up a bit, and scared after dropping his knife, but he had stopped the young 20gb drive. He saved him a horrible death, and instead put him in storage.

The young 20gb drive got one last look at his elderly and brave brother before he was taken away:

The weapon of choice stood ontop of the almost dead older brother, and the evil-doer gave the 20gb a popsicle (bananna yellow :D).

The evil-doer left the elder brother alive enough to bring him to his ceremonial lair. He had to take care of one other item before he could commence the ceremony...

The other victim was the evil-doer's old cell phone, a Nokia 6340i. A large cellphone, in fact, it was around 5-6" tall. A bad cellphone, which turned itself off every few minutes, so no one would be able to reach the evil-doer.

He enjoyed every bit of this :D

The victim before torture:

Victim, prepped for torture:

Time for lust, time for lie, time to kiss YOUR LIFE GOODBYE!

A nice cellphone sundae...

...Finally completed with Keypad Jimmies!

The Cellphone was then placed in a bodybag to be taken to the ceremonial lair, along with the 40gb hard drive:

TIME FOR THE CEREMONY!!

The Cellphone sundae had to be melted down to be edible, so the evil-doer did what his parents forbidded, playing with fire:

The aftermath of his old-timer microwave:

And then, time for the elderly 40gb Western Digital Caviar SE Hard Drive:

[video] http://64.202.189.217/metallikid147...are Destruction/HardDrive/burning40gb (1).AVI

The burning ceremonies didn't go according to plan, because the evil-doer used a cheap imitation of body-fuel. So he just let the match do all the work. He may re-do the ceremony tomorrow with a better torch tomorrow.

So yeah, that oldschool nokia was a P.O.S., turned off every minute or so (even the RMA'd model did as well)... The 20gb hard drive is on the desk to my left in my room, sitting there all innocent like... I'll save that for later...

Any questions, can go to my email (MetallicAman91 (AT) gmail.com) or PM me...










So ends my destruction spree..

For now :D
