Well, title pretty much says it all... My roommate scored a box of 150 tennis balls at the DI for $20 and now we're turning to you NS for ideas on what to do with them. We've already thrown them all down a flight of stairs, and played with our dogs until we thought they were going to arrest. Now I need your great ideas, let's here 'em!

be creative e.g. pay somebody to try and eat them or say to somebody if they can run through them you will give the $5 (they will probably just stack it after one step).

SIMPLE!

1. drop them.

2. Have women pick them up.

if one goes over the fence you have 149 more times that it can happen until you have to go get one

go grab one of those tennis ball launchers from a tennis court, im sure you could get your hands on one somehow, sit out on the lawn and just start shooting them everywhere at people. should be fun.

or better yet get two, divide up the tennis balls, build forts out of cardboard boxes, and have a war with your friend. That will send you back to your early years.

do this.

take 1 tennis ball. cut a hole in it.
take a sparkler and rub off all the shit at the end into the tennis ball, maybe do this multiple times in 1 ball.
drop a match into the tennis ball,
wait a few seconds and/ or throw
and you have a tennis ball comet.

you said roommate, so you're in college i'm guessing. if your dorm has a window out on to a public place, try and snipe people from the window. points for hitting people in the head, etc.

get some surgical tubing and a little square of leater, DIY launcher for cheap.

You can unload 150 balls in a few sessions.
