What Would You Do With 20 Gallons of Slime?

Recently I discovered something intriguing: a recipe for Slime.

Now, Slime is as Slime does. I remember playing with the stuff as a kid. For a couple of bucks you got about a pint of the stuff packaged in a plastic garbage can. You'd dump it out, pass it from hand to hand, squeeze it and watch it ooze through your fingers, all to a non-stop chorus of "Ewwwwww". Eventually one of two things would happen: you'd get some on the couch and your Mom would freak out and take it away or you'd forget about it and return years later to find a dried out garbage can full of ex-slime. As toys go it had limited opportunities for the proverbial "endless fun" but endless opportunities for getting yelled at.

Fast-forward 30 years and I've got the means to make as much Slime as I want. Now, a pint of Slime might amuse me for a few minutes, but the idea of having several gallons of Slime sets my mind aflame. That much Slime carries with it the prospect of an epic prank. I mean, if you put a little Slime in someone's coffee cup that's moderately amusing, but a prank involving 20 gallons of Slime? That's the stuff of legend.

Here's the problem: I can't come up with anything. I'm drawing a complete blank. This is a grand opportunity and I don't want to waste it on anything that won't make the Jackass crew look like, uh, Jackasses. Help!

Ok, since nobody else will post---
Make the thick type, make it into a ball and throw it off a very tall building or a cliff, or roll it down a very long open hill.

There's got to be some way to use the fact that the slimy type looks like it's uncleanable but can be cleaned easily, but I think of anything.

The best I've been able to come up with so far is to buy a PC case identical to that of the target, rig it so that when they hit the power button slime starts dripping from the case, and replace their PC with the rigged case. Sadly, most of my co-workers use laptops, so that would be difficult.

Second place is the same trick with a monitor, but with a flatscreen installed so the mark will spend an hour or so working before slime starts dripping from the monitor. The downside here is fire hazard.

I thought the downside would be crossing the streams trying to fix the problem?

I'll tell you in a year or when the statute of limitations runs out, whichever is most applicable.

It is easy to buy small plaster models of what you think life is like.
