Boris
Was it Terry Pratchett or Douglas Addams that had a witch that was going to be burned at the stake? She had a little future-sight abd went to her death willingly and with dignity. And with 50pounds of roofing nails in a barrel of gunpowder under her dress.
Good Omens, by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
You mean just Terry Pratchett, right? 😢
Thats was it. Thank you.
Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. That’s Good Omens
If someone shoots Boris, the owner will have a lot more to worry about than home invaders
How big is that foyer? Is the walk behind Boris a steel wall per chance ?
Boris will not drop the gun, but he will drop the building structure.
“Boris, Boris Claymore”
I hope Boris has a very substantial steel plate behind his back.
I also hope he has some servos to move his arms with motion detectors.
Be Boris, Friend.
Unfortunately I think this is still illegal 😔
They can’t put you in jail if you’re fucking dead cuz you blew up your house.
This is no “go big or go home” he goes boom. He give me Mole from Atlantis vibes.

I’m worried Boris won’t go off. He’s most likely to be shot with a handgun which won’t set off the tannerite.
You can also put the explosif in a steel trapezoid with the wide part open towards the front. Basically a claymore, but you’d have to manually set it off.
Ooh Boris spits metal, that’s a good idea
Same energy as “claymore in the snow room aimed at the outside door”. It can only do one thing and it will statistically do it to the person spending the most time around it, not any imagined opposition.
If I am not mistaken, you have to shoot tannerite to cause it to go off. So unless the owner in this case is shooting guns in their house it seems pretty likely this wont go off and harm them, but someone who’s likely to shoot an armed civilian for not putting their gun down.
That’s the joke.not
ICE is shooting unarmed civilians, so seeing Boris here would make their nuts shrivel like a booger on an Arizona Tarmac in the middle of summer, and the only way for them to regain their illusion of masculinity will be to shoot him, too.
While tannerite does need that extreme concussion to go off, it is still more likely to hurt the person who set it up as this seems like a stand off tactic.
Unless you have to enter the house to see Boris. They are gonna shoot from a distance.
Keep one in the car so you can use the HOV lane.
I would be concerned about Boris wrecking a perfectly good foyer. Maybe put at the end of your street, leaning on a tree, just make sure the neighbors know what he is, but not who put him there.
I think we all need several of these strategically placed around our houses these days
The things you can do when your house has two floors.
I watch this dude’s security guard on YT sometimes.

This reminds me of the time the police got called to an office building because someone saw a man with a rifle in one of the windows. Turns out it was a gaming studio, and the man was a human-size cardboard cutout advertising Battlefield or some similar first person shooter.

I remember that, it was the office of Infinity Ward, the Modern Warfare devs.
