@Lydia Haha, nice idea! It sounds like we went to the same high school.

@Nbook Hah! Fish sauce water pistol = good idea.

I’ve personally tried using fish sauce water bombs in my youth, and the clothing are usually unrecoverable (because of the stain AND smell). And a few ‘exploded’ on myself (because of bad karma, I’m guessing), so it’s a fact.

Maybe you should carry a water pistol filled with fish sauce on your next H’ween expedition (just in case another racist pops up – and there’s a lot more out there than the public will like to make us believe).

I think patis and bagoong would be a good reek concoction. So maybe those bastards aren’t worth the artillery this year or next, but I sure could have used a balut and patis mortar while growing up in my all white elementary school. Maybe you could get a racket going in the playground market that pinoy and other Asian American kids are tortured in everyday for being the only Asian/people of color kids in school.

@Michelle Thanks, I think I’m going to start using balut as a verb from now on!

Aw, sorry that happened to you. Some people just can’t stand it when they see other people, uh, minding their own business.
I’m torn between the balut and fish sauce as artillery. Balut-ing someone’s car (yeah, I just turned that into a verb) would be teh awesome but fish sauce would smell soooo bad for soooo long! (To them. To me it would smell like yummy lunchtime!)
