    Hilarious

    I got this in an e-mail today and thought i would share. 99.9% of the time i get a long email or text thats supposed to be funny i never read it. But this time i was personally told to read it. By the end i was crying laughing. Surely its some chain email a few have probaly already seen but if you havent its definatley worth it! Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this: 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!!!!
  2. I was out riding around and wound up at Competition Accessories. They are having another stunt bike show @ 4pm today. They have a dyno set up, food and a tent up selling stuff. So if your bored go check it out.
  3. Get a date and if im free i would go.
  4. Sounds like a good ride. One of these days i will ride to somewhere besides work. And i havent even done that in a week or so.
  5. 1. Not turning into nearest lane. 2. Hyundai not stoping at the stop bar. The car infront of him did. 3. Stopping on the crosswalk.
  6. She has her own website. http://rockthegear.org/ Edit: scottb beat me to it
  7. I just hit one last night in my brother-in-law's car. He left this morning to drive 7hrs back to N. Carolina today with a massive hangover. And yes the whole car smells inside and out.
  8. I was going thru the garage and pulled out a set of Mustang lowering springs i had on my 5.0. I have since gotten rid of it so i have no use for them. They will fit all fox body models. If i remember correctly they were 2" lowering springs. Dont know the spring rate or anything like that. So if you want some yellow springs that will lower your stang 2" hand me $40 and they are all yours. I also have the distributer, ignition control unit (older type that bolts to inner fender) and some other random stuff i cant think of at the moment. I will update the post with more parts later. You can make any semi-reasonable offer on the above 2 things and they are yours. Everything is just collecting dust so get it out of my garage.
  9. Let me just say the city of Dayton in a shit-hole. Now thats worth repeating. Alltogether now.......

    From the album: junk

  11. The warranty is Limited Lifetime. The exclusion is if your model is equipped with Tritium night sights which are not warranted by Springfield. Trijicon will warranty them for 12yrs from date of manufacture.
  12. The envelope that has the casing from SA is stamped 30-11-2009. It was originally purchased late last year. He showed me receipt but he wanted to keep it.
  13. I purchased a used xd from armslist and he gave me all the paperwork that came with it. The mail in warranty card is still in the box not filled out. Now can i fill out the info, mail it in and be covered as if i was the "initial retail purchaser"?
  14. I just picked up a like new XD9 SC with the gear pack for $375 from armslist. And the seller was only 3 miles from my house. $400 was "my" limit for a used XD in any caliber. There were alot on armslist in the 4-450 range but not within a close enough drive to still be a good deal.
  15. 10 minute video of some really slow bullet impacts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfDoQwIAaXg&feature=related
  16. I could do 11. Where do you want me to meet you?
