About
Hello spitball victims…..
This site is dedicated to the tens of millions of American spitball victims each year. Although spitball fatalities are at the current time relatively low, there is a growing number of serious injury due to hard spitters. This growing number is where our concern lies. We must regulate these hard spitters in our communities through legislation for the health, safety and well being of our family and pets. Pet spitting is not even at this time a misdemeanor!!!
We are currently being helped in our endeavors by district attorneys, world famous psychiatrists, other spitball victims and occasionally we will have guest bloggers, some who will remain anonymous so as to protect thier identity from vicious spitball attacks, some who have grown from their spitball experiences and refuse to cower from vicious spitballers.
So come along with me on the journey and learn about spitball issues, legislation and become a community activist on spitball issues which could very well soon affect you and your loved ones and beloved pets.

Even though spitball attacks have resulted in few deaths (if any?), the potential is still there, and growing, and is actually recognized in several courts of laws and is on the books in many communities; EVEN at the state level.
It is usually included under:
1. Assault with a deadly missile
2. Assault with a projectile
3. Assault with a missile
4. Assault into a vehicle
5. Assault with a deadly missile into a moving vehicle
The above can arise the level of a felony which I can attest to in the case of my son’s friend who blew a spitball out of a school bus at a traffic light into a moving vehicle next to the bus. He was arrested and charged with #5. and got to spend two years in a juvenile program. (Of course his prior indiscretions helped to decide his case’s disposition).
Even though to focus on this small, infinitesimal risk by spending excessive time discussing it, holding meetings (and many at taxpayer’s expense), procuring district attorney’s to research the issue and come up with legislation to address the threat at the expense of ignoring much greater threats in the community may seems inordinate; I nevertheless feel it should be done, lest me or my family members may become the victim of such a vicious; albeit negligible attack.
Please don’t interpret any comments I have made to be trivializing of this growing trend as paper and saliva become more popular by gangsta and thug types. I do indeed see the potential for harm. I think perhaps the best way to proceed strategy-wise, would be to target paper and saliva, the tools of the perpetrator, thus making it difficult to “spit wads” if the tools of the trade are not available.
Let us continue to devote ourselves to making the threat known and coming up with ways of addressing it to the exclusion of more important societal ills.

thank dog for this site and everyone involved in the good fight against the demon spitball.
i am seeking help in preventing my fiancee from sinking deeper into the left handed path of deceit, disrespect and mayhem.
currently, though not at the spitball level, she is addicted to shooting the paper straw wrapper at me with the straw. obviously, this is potentially dangerous to me, but also to others, as this happens in public, at restaurants and anywhere where straws are available with soft drinks, juice, iced tea, lemonade, milk shakes. she requests a seperate straw for each drink she gets, including water!
not only is the woman i love involved in this inappropriate, anti-social and unconstitutional behavior, she has no idea what harm she may do to others and to herself. she seems to be in another world (perhaps this is a sympton of the state of addiction) where this behavior seems funny. of course i do not share in the laughter and respond by slapping her upside the head, er, i mean, by giving her serious looks and shaking my head in a display of incredulity.
in the name of all that is good and wholesome,
sonny

I got hit with one of those spitballs and it was frozen what with being hurled in Canada and all. You can put an eye out with those things you know.
Really… it has to stop. It is now a matter of public safety. Its time we enforced the current laws prohibiting these dangerous things. My dog near got hit too. Someone please call Ingrid. She’ll know what to do.

this business of shooting soda straw wrappers SEEMS harmless, but nearly all serial axe murderers started out by exhibiting this insidious symptom, often in grade school lunchrooms. I would wear eye protection and full hazmat gear on dates with this lady. Have your will prepared. I understand you have (although you did not say it) a fascination with imminent death, and thus I understand your attraction to the female. a normal female would simply save up enough spittle and get a lungful of air and aim for your eye, or necktie, usually while your mother was watching. This is a healthy sign of the sexually receptive woman and should be treated as such. For the soda straw symptom, I would be fully armed at all times and prepared to expect the worst.

I am in favor of straw paper blowing and as the historical anthropological archaeological record clearly shows this ritual was highly valued in ancient cultures including Greek, Roman, and Egyptian classical eras as well as in the noble kingdoms of the far east. Surely this ancient custom should be practiced and preserved for posterity. How our children would beam at the knowledge that their parents partook in a celebration of straw paper blowing as one of the steps to creating a warm and happy household. I am shocked that anyone with 10 fingers and a keyboard could be uncharitable enough to dispute this rare and exotic art/science.
PS I’m teaching my dog to blow straw papers.
Canuck said
We used to throw Christians to the lions in old times as well but we know better now. Teaching our children to indulge in this dangerous activity is ludicrous.
Truly, everyone must see how our public safety is compromised by such thing.
It starts with a soda straw and then becomes a full blown case of spitballs… worse than heroin it is.
DVM needs to read Ingrid’s view on using animals for personal vendettas and if as Dr. Hawkins says, it is a sexually receptive expression, then ban sex too.
