Gotta love stupid people!
Cause it against the law to kill em. hehhehee!

I read the article Friday afternoon, or at least most of it. I don't know who this person is and what they normally write about, but for some reason I just couldn't get offended that this guy didn't like ecigs. In fact I found the whole thing almost humorous, in the way that it must be satire, no one could honesty be that big a Richard head, could they? I put it on about the same level as the "Look at Me Ecig" video.

Misc thoughts.

New batteries should be here today. Was going to get AW, but it seems anyone who wants less than $13.00 + shipping was out. Looked at Panasonic, the CGR18650GH seem to be unavailable, wasn't sure if the newer ones work in the Provari. So I got another Pair of efest 2250 mah, which as far as anyone can tell are the Panasonic CGR18650GH in disguise. Test/Review of Efest 18650 2250mAh (Black)

Seems the Jetbeam i4 V3 (read nitecore i4 2013 version), is going to get a work out today. Got two 18650's and a 18350 on it now, four 18350's to charge later, plus the two new 18650's and at least one more 18650. If I really wanted to I could drag out the TrustFire 001 and the little 18350 charger, but I doubt I will. Also the Spinner will get charged today.

How does my cat find at least one bug in my bedroom every night? And why does she think when I am sleeping is the perfect time to go into vicious predator mode and chase the poor little bug all over the room, bouncing off me and anything else in her relentless pursuit of the elusive prey? Gotta love my little furry friend, even if I think her brain is about half the size it should be.

Will the Doctor ever tell me the results of the MIR I had done on back Tuesday? Will my shoulder fall off before I see the orthopedic surgeon for my last post surgery appointment?

I have broken 300,000 points on Folding at Home, See Wizzlefits is closing in on 10 million, way to go Wizzlefits.

K, my wife just shared this on Fb, Gotta post here just to make ya'll smile a little. ;)

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer.

The effects of the Tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety...??

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home... I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.

AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right?

There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target.

I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised.

Am I wrong?

So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and Tazer in another.

The directions said that:

a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant;

a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and

a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water.

Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.

All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'

What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.

I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side so as to say, 'Don't do it stupid,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it.

I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and...

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. WHAT THE... !!!

I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs! The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.

Note:
If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a Tazer,
one note of caution:

There is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor!
A three second burst would be considered conservative!

A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape.

My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace.
· The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was.
· My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching..
· My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs.
· I had no control over the drooling.
· Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone.
· I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair.
I'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!

PS: My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it!

If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Hey kids! Phil Busardo is on Mod Envy tonight, so I guess they have me for one more Saturday.

Darn, I already done all my vaping stuff for the week. Hadn't planned on watching, may watch long enough to see Phil though. He is usually entertaining and watching him interact with the cast of Mod Envy is sure to be interesting.

hottie about the only thing that finally knocked my head/chest code out was a few days of nonstop Dayquil and Nyquil...nothing else seemed to help
yeah...i went to work wednesday, thursday, friday(short days tho)....today i didn't and didn't get out of bed until like 2pm (being awake every 4 hours makes that possible LOL)...normally i would go into the salon "just in case" someone needed in last minute...wasn't even really a consideration today LOL
"the cold" expanded it's borders to include my chest and a nasty cough..that hides and then attacks out of nowhere....i can only imagine how miserable this would be if i still smoked....

i can't really do the dayquil/nyquil thing...benadryl made me sleep fitfully with nightmares...i think nyquil would be like stuff we aren't allowed to talk about here LOL


Thank you, but it's the kittie's fault...You shouldn't come back until after you've taken them, hanging out here will rot your brain!

yeah...and have to have the whole star trek low tech thing explained..again LOL


Oh and I'll let ya in on a 'lil secret, folks. A good way to vet whackjobs, you know the folks that have the whole six-pack but are missing the plastic thingy that holds 'em together, is to de-friend them once in a while to see if they go ballistic. ;)

ETA: Real truth is that I'm trying to keep the number of friends as close to my real age as possible, plus I navigate ECF thru my activity screen so too much redundancey clutters things up 4 me.

RHP
well i have proven i am not a whackjob since i didn't even notice you unfriended me LMAO


Gotta love stupid people!
Cause it against the law to kill em. hehhehee!
and....it is guaranteed that everyone has at least one person that thinks they are stupid....so "kill stupid ppl day" would be world annihilation (yes, i have had this discussion before LOL)


I miss Becky, Chelle and Hottie (I know Lynn is studying). :(

The most I have laughed in a few years, most the time I can tell a story without laughing this story is not one of them.

I was hysterically laughing the whole time and then had to put my phone down to breath and went for the dog collar to jolt myself 1 was enough for me to stop 7(max) I did not even attempt but you sir have made my month.
