Now that English is over I intend of disposing of the Stimulus booklet once and for all.

I could do the traditional burning, but i feel like destroying it differently...

Any ideas?

If you must burn it, get a whole bunch of hsc students and make a ritual out of it. Make a giant bonfire then cast the ashes into a breeze and see how the stimulus booklet enjoys that journey.

The traditional burning of it is nice, but you dont savour the moment. This is what I recommend: firstly, shred the journeys booklet, then choose how to burn it. Strip by strip or just kill the whole thing. Or, you could stuff it in a sparkler bomb and let it go off that way. It'd be nice to watch as well.

Why don't you just chuck it in the recycling bin?

hopeles5ly, your ideas of english will change give it time... right now your thinking 'yay yay yay i love english, i want to sleep with my stimulus under my pillow' give it 6 months and you will hate... you'll be thinking 'grrrr i hate it, why is english compulsary!!!! argghh !!!'

anyway back to the ideas... instead of burning or destroying the whole thing... one idea, is rip it up into alots of pieces then do different things to the individual pieces, one piece you could burn, another you use it as toliet paper... its silly that the stimulus booklet should only suffer once...

1. Im sure plenty of people studied for their tests but its a Symbolic thing to do because its the end of english and the won't have to ever do it again.... with the exception of people who become English teachers

2. THIS IS A FORUM , If you hate something you tell people about it and discuss it. But if we're going to do it your way keep your coments to yourself !

3. Your just jealous coz u can't burn your stimulus booklet yet :rolleyes:

lol... why r u guys so wokred up about the stimulus booklet, i barely even used that thing... I actualy quite like it... I mean the only texts I ever used were Victor Kelleher's 'The ivory Trail' and text 7 'the town where time stands still'... lol if anything the stimulus booklet was the most enjoyable part of the entire english course... although i did enjoy Tom Stoppard's Ros and Guil are Dead and George Orewell's 1984... but yeh...lol

I guess it is a symbolic thing as Marky24 stated...

I won't be burning(destroying) anything, it will all be handed down... or left in folders to gather dust...

enjoy the fireworks!!!

Someone should point out that it's paper. If you really hate the texts, your enemies are Robert Frost, Renay Walker, Margaret Atwood, Victor Kelleher, Kenneth Grahame and Shirley Geok-lin Lim. If you really hate the course, your enemy is Board of Studies. If you really hate the lessons, your enemy is your teacher or perhaps your classmates. :rolleyes:

Don't shoot the messenger.

Chuck it in the recycle bin - don't contribute to the greenhouse effect and kids, if you must burn it, do it in excess oxygen.

P.S. As for the brave kid who is annoyed by all this stimulus-booklet-burning, good for you to speak your mind. :) But really, you can't justify your argument if you haven't been slaughtered by "the Journey".

I did the traditional burning, single greatest moment of my life...I threw everything else in the bin, so to see it going up in flames was very cleansing.

If I'm not mistaken, you came into this thread with this message:

Which, if I may say so, isn't the most polite way to voice one's contradictive opinion. :rolleyes:

OT, you have just begun your journey (my apologies for using this term :p) and you'll soon realise what fuels the hatred of the stimulus booklet. I don't hate it, but it is pretty damn annoying and boring. :rolleyes:

get some Napalm burn the fuck out of it then burn your hand off as well :D

Make your doing this whilst working or something so you can get compo for your injuries :D Act as though your napalm injury was the result of faulty appliances. Sue the business :D

Its a win, win situation you get to dispose of your booklet and get compo, only down side is you wll loose a arm in the process :D

Good luck :D
