Another thing that's great fun is to do drive-by shootings of inflatable Ronald McDonalds, Great Root Bears, and such at fast food restaurants. There's almost nothing more satisfying than pouring a few hundred rounds of 30 cal machine gun bullets into Ronald, and hearing that "psssssssshhhhh..." sound as he slowly keels over and deflates onto the top of your local McDonald's. I recommend doing it late at night. It's more dramatic that way, but make sure the area is reasonably well lit so you get the full visual effect.

An alternate technique is to nail old Ronald with a bazooka. This produces a sound like a gigantic fart, and results in more or less total destruction of the inflatable clown. The Great Root Bear reacts similarly. If you are really lucky, you may come across a giant inflatable gorilla or a T-rex, but they are rarer. Check out horse racing arenas, auctions, country fairs, and such events.

Always make sure to have a good getaway car, a good driver, and be careful not to injure any innocent bystanders.
