Organic Attacks

Organic materials make great irritants when used properly. Through the last 3 decades, many vegetables, fruits and meats have been successfully used to great effect in the struggle to teach Russ basic courtesy and proper manners.

The following list of organically-based irritations have proved their worth.

Many of these irritations have been performed multiple times on the Russ nation.

Bacon/Burger (raw) – These meats are great for sliding under the Russ tent on a camping trip. Note: They are especially effective if there are hungry bears in the vicinity.

Salad Shrimp – If carefully placed in the all of the pockets of Russ’s clothing the shrimp will dry up and become very hard to detect… except for the fish smell emanating from him. He will usually not notice this one for awhile.

Canned Sardines/Squid – These are small but deadly weapons when it comes to the stench factor. Just a few partially opened cans of these in some hard-to-locate places have driven Russ to the edge more than once.

Cheap Cod Fillets – For just around $3.00 you can drive the entire Russ household crazy for a week. All you have to do is place a fillet or two in the air conditioner during a summer heat wave. Watch out for this one though! Russ has been known to become murderous over the stench of rotten cod.

Well-Placed Raw Eggs – A restaurant sized flat of eggs can be a powerful irritation if used properly. All you need to do is set egg-based booby traps in the Russ cupboards and other various locations that are higher than Russ’s knobby, bald head and wait for the results. The best thing about these irritations is that sometimes it takes months for Russ to activate the booby trap thereby allowing the eggs to rot properly before detonating.

Potato People – The brothers once purchased a hundred pounds of potatoes and after gathering a group of willing participants, spent an entire night carving detailed potato people doing random things like walking, laying around, driving toy cars, having sex, arguing, eating, etc. They then created several written Russ flyers (which made absolutely no sense whatsoever) took them to the local television studio (KRCR TV) and carefully placed the hundreds of vegetables and flyers all over the entryway to the studio. The television station did showcase the potato people the next day on their broadcast but they did not mention or show Russ so as not to disgust their viewers.

Limburger Cheese – At a wedding celebration Russ became very drunk and bellicose due to his over-indulgence of beer and wedding punch. One of the always alert brothers then opened the hood of his vehicle and placed a small chuck of Limburger cheese upon the Russ engine block to remind him that he was not the center of the universe. Later, it was reported that Russ drove a few miles with the heater on and had to pull over and vomit due to the horrific smell that was created by this small chunk of powerful cheese.
