This is a thread where we can discuss booby traps, the making of, and where we can practice making booby traps for other members. All planning for said booby traps can take place in here.

Before we go on, I'm wondering if any booby trap experts here know the difference between a booby trap and a regular trap? All I know is that booby traps are cool, and I like them.

slow day for besson?

It shouldn't be, no...

I suggest watching the Booby Trap documentary, "Goonies." This should give you ample information on the creation and implementation of boody traps. I mean booby traps.

I was thinking of that movie when I wrote this... How many Oscars did that movie win again? GREAT movie?

My association of a booby trap is one with a lot of cool mechanical parts that often hurts people, but I'm not sure if that is the accepted definition.

How did the word "booby" get in there? To entice?

"Oh cool, I like boobies so I better go over here and see this booby trap thing... AHHH!! The ceiling is shrinking, there are knives everywhere!!!"

A trap (noun: a container or device used to collect a specified thing) for boobies.

I like the see-through ones myself. Gossard Glossies.
And WonderBras.

I like the booby trap in Apocalypto.
The movie was under-appreciated because of Gibson's little outburst.

Booby traps have to include at least seven different mechanisms, also, the means by which said booby trap derives it's immense power must remain hidden at all times.

Plus, booby traps have the uncanny ability to lie dormant for centuries and work perfectly when someone steps on the wrong block.

I would love to devise a booby trap that forced beautiful women out of their clothes and undergarments.

You're looking at him.
Yeah, this joke is so characteristic of me...right?

They also have to have the mysterious attribute of barely-only-just-escapable-ness for good guys, and almost-but-not-quite-escapable-ness for bad guys... some sort of moral/character detector is in order.

How about a pair of hands?

I've heard that there are videos of innocent prey such as cocks going inside booby traps and sometimes they are eaten alive, other times they expire while frantically trying to escape from the trap of boob.

Well, not really a booby trap, but where I lived before, we had a problem with a annoying wee bastard punks running up the garden path and kicking our front door.

It stopped quickly after I one dark night, went out and punt in some tentpegs on each side of the garden path and connected some stealwire in between...

Man it was fun to see the wee bastards trip over the wire and fall head down into the gravel!

Home Alone & the many sequels..?

Personally I like the old tether a blighter upside-down from a tree finale myself. Oh and a clockwork toy must be involved at some point for all booby traps to be demmed "bravo"able.
