Ron's Slip n' Slide Extravaganza


It seems that building home made slip n' slides is the thing to do these days. First you had the 535 foot slide and now you have Ron's Slip n' Slide. It's only 60 feet long, but personally I think this slide is way more dangerous.
In fact, I'm not sure I would want to get on it. That whole jump and the end of the slide just doesn't look that safe.

535 foot slip 'n slide


SomethingAwful forum member Bruiser, has gone and created a 535 foot Slip 'n Slide on some property he owns. The thing looks awesome! I wish I had the resources and the land to put up something like this.
Check out the pics of the slid in action at the SomethingAwful forums: I built a 535 ft. Slip 'n Slide

Sliding around the office


This has to be the most idiotic, but fun idea ever. Strap a pair of carpet skates on your shoes and you can skate across the carpet in your office. If your office is anything like mine, there is a big long open area that these would work great in. The only problem would be making sure I didn't hit the printer that is inconveniently placed half way down the hallway.
