    Ladies and gentlemen, of the people’s republic of Cork.
    Flash mobs.
    For those of you who have not heard of them, a large group of people gather in a public place, do something weird for a few minutes, and then disperse. I propose that we liven up our little city with one of these. If you’re interested in taking part, have any ideas as to what the mob can actually do, or anything at all, e-mail me at sonicR69@hotmail.com with the subject flash mobs, and we’ll get this thing done soon.
    (And don’t worry if u don’t live in the city, I live in Cobh witch is 15miles away, u can make the trip for a laf like this!!!)
    Yours expectantly
    Comrade Frenett

    Flash-In-The-Pan more like. This fad will fade into oblivion faster than Dingleboppers or cut-your-own-hair-machines.

    Without point or purpose.

    These muppets wandering around fondling shoes should be taken outside and shot. If they'd gone to a Nike Town, that'd be a different story...

    pro_gnostic_8, just pat him on the head and smile. He's obviously twelve.

    if it involves naked ladies and the opportunity to watch theses naked ladies in naked lady lesbian sex then i'm available with a camera,

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,025 ✭✭✭yellum


    You're a lesbian ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,478 ✭✭✭GoneShootin


    I can be, given the opportunity, and the correct attire


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭solice


    ok, but seriously we cant organise a flash mob on boards. its suppossed to be a secret thing and boards is kind of public. so here is what we do, meet up in a pub (there has to be drink involved) and plan, we need mobile numbers of at least 500 ppl living in the city and surrounding, e-mail address of 500+ ppl living in the city and surrounding. there are plenty of websites that we can text ppl from.

    we will plan it for a certain day giving notice of its event a week in advance and its location a day in advance or even the morning of its event.

    this will be so cool.

    corks first flash mob.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭solice


    there is no point to a flash mob, the only reason it is done is for the sake of doing it, its fun and its a laugh. get out and have a good time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 653 ✭✭✭DukeDredd


    Sounds like a GREAT idea to me - i know a good few people at work that would love this sort of thing too! Count me in!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,575 ✭✭✭Slutmonkey57b


    So the plan is to have a large group of muckers wandering about in a slack-jawed bovine mob staring blankly at things, making strange noises, and getting in everybody's way to no good purpose?



    Unprecedented.

    And they shall be called French and Spanish students


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,659 ✭✭✭✭dahamsta


    Christ, there was a bunch of them in the Well on Tuesday, on tables either side of us, and they literally SHOUTED over our heads at each other for the ten minutes we were stuck at that table. It was all I could do to hold Sascha back from stringing one of them up by the balls or alternative appendages!

    Can you not understand that FLASH MOB is now so "yesterday" ....... so boring. The moment has passed -- the world has moved on. You've missed the train. Doing it now when no-one gives a sh1t is like like getting on a pyramid scheme when the shrewd money has collected and gotten out. Like some oul crustie trying to re-create the 60's. The novelty factor has curled up and died, m8. Get a life, willya, ffs.

    Do it if you want, (it's a free country).............. I'm only pointing out the ridicule you'll leave yourself open to!

    Blitzkrieger: That Idea is teh sex!

    I had a plan made with my friends to attack an anti-war protest with water ballons and super-saokers, never went ahead.

    We also planned a "body gaurding" sketch where a group of leather clad tough guys escort a fake VIP around Patricks street, then throw in a fake assasination attempt....

    I love it !!! Spontaneous Theatre of the Absurd -- on the streets.

    Then, to round off a perfect day, a bit of Dada-ist and surreal performance art courtesy of Blitzkrieger's idea.

    Now we're getting original and down 'n' durty.

    that vip thing has been done before mostly by ucc students during rag week, they just pick a random person and follow them for ages
    heh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,223 ✭✭✭pro_gnostic_8


    True, but the assassination angle is what would lift this into the next level. Hasn't been done before to the best of my knowledge.

    Would be afraid, tho', to get involved in this ............ have heard bad reports about overnighting in the Bridewell Hotel.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17 frenett


    finnaly we agree, i love it 2!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,223 ✭✭✭pro_gnostic_8


    Meh hugs frenett. Peace and love, dude.

    Peace n love man!
    (but i still like flashmobs)

    Great to have such a trendy person in pro_gnostic_8 around to tell us what is cool. I'll stick around and hopefully i can learn from him. I wish i was cool too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23 Wulf


    Okay, here's for the assination angle, thought up by my bro

    VIP walks into Burger King(for example), another person sitting at a nearby table pulls out a fake sniper rifle, props it up on his/her table, aims through the scope and fires(with the whole silenced effect) at the target who is a few yards away.

    VIP falls, shooter calmly stands up and walks out, bodygaurds don't notice....

    Not really a flash mob, but still pretty funny


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,659 ✭✭✭✭dahamsta


    I wouldn't like to try that in the States at the moment!

    My sarcasm detection meter has needled into the red zone.

    Just when Peace was breaking out around here, DukeDredd goes and sticks his oar in........Class. ;)

    <edit> .You're post count just so happens to be my favourite number


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17 frenett


    The assassination thing is cool, but what if you have sum thing a little simpler, like a guy comes up to him and asks 4 an autograph, the body guards beat him senseless. (You’d have to make sure the victim got ever1s attention first by shouting oh my god, is that you!! or sum thing,) then 2 to the horror of the people on the street he's taken down an ally way and beaten............
    Or sum thing.......

    (Bear in mind you could have it all first the autograph, then the assassination attempt, or 2)
