OK, so here is the real plan.

Equipment:
- Black sparco suit
- balaclava
- helmet
- GoPro suction cupped to helmet
- Two cans of death spray
- Garbage can w/ lid
- Coal shovel

Assault plan:
- Get drunk (in progress, it's 5:30!)
- Wait until 10PM
- quietly roll garbage can under nest
- shoot hole with foam
- smash with shovel, into garbage can
- empty can into garbage
- cover with lid
- if not raining... dump into fire pit and torch them
- Drink more

Plan B:
- run screaming and flailing my arms like a windmill while stripping off race suit full of angry hornets
- get drunker

Soo much awesomeness at one time is too much for this mere mortal!

Why is it that I want to come home to a hornets nest just so I can haz fun too?

Am I a bad person if I say I sorta like Plan B better? That's because it ain't me getting stung.

Plan B is why we need multiple video cameras and lights. At the point he yanks the helmet off running and screaming - we'll need to cut to the wide angle shot for that...

Edit - thought it was the POR 15 on the hootus was a bigger problem than herculiner. Either way, best to keep the hootus clear of anything that needs a catalyst.

I would like it for the record stated, i've read this thread twice. Today. It's THAT damn funny. I crossposted to my site, and they agree.

Production quality is going to be a problem. Even after I run just the first person-shooter version - I don't know how to add the Rocky soundtrack or splice in stills of the aftermath.

It's just going to be me breathing like darth vader in a helmet, in low light like some sort of Blair Witch Stig. I'll do my best though.

Back to the vacuum cleaner method for a moment: IIRC a lot of those wasp/hornet sprays are flammable. Nothing like sucking bald faced hornets in one end with flames spraying out the other. Hint, hint...

I've never used brakleen, but carb/throttle body cleaner has a nice 6-8 foot jet and MELTS wasps. I've never seen an animal drop that fast since I brained my little brother with a shovel handle. It's truly a sight to behold. It's also slightly less toxic than brakleen.
