“Don’t Tase Me, Mommy!”

Posted By admin

Seems Cops ain’t too bright in Ozark Arkansas, where an officer used a TASER® Device to stop an unruly 10 year old girl that had stayed up past her bed time. And this continues a disturbing trend with Cops just getting lasy, and using TASER® devices in situations that normally would require they get their hands dirty.

Most situations would be undercontrol with a Fox Labs pepper spray that has as much, if not more stopping power than the TASER® device (TASER International forces us to put the ® after every mention of that word, and sent us a letter to clean up our site & blog or else we will have a TASER® device used against us; I can’t say tased, though since I am modifying a famous quote in the title, that does not count).

I remember when I was a young punk, and I might have wanted to stay up a little late and watch The Munsters. I always loved Grandpa’s tricked out ride with the huge blower sticking out the top of the engine. And don’t get me started on Eddy’s little Woof Woof doll. I did see a doctor with one in his office onc,e and about wet my pants!

However, even if I was such a jerk, like when I was 11, and kept pestering my Mom for a really cool toy called the Whizzer on the day of her 2nd marriage. This toy was the bomb; it was a top that you would activate by drawing the rubber wheel against the ground and rev up a gyroscope inside. When you set it down, it would spin for a while, and that was it.

While it sounds dumb, they were all the rage. They came out with these cars that you can drop the Wizzer into and it would spin & do wheelies & I absolutly, had to have. If murder was leagal, my Mom would have killed me with her eyes, though it did not warrant being assaulted with one of the most devistating, non-lethal self defense devices on the planet, the Advanced TASER M18L.

Nigger Toes @ Walmart

Posted By admin

My Granny was a racist. She was a huuuuge woman from Czechoslovakia that eventually hit at least 300 lbs before she passed away. As far back as I can remember, to her grave, would refer to brazil nuts as nigger toes.

She married an Italian before the war, and in the late 30′s, turned into a breeding machine, churning out around 15 total Aunts & Uncles, including a couple miscarriages.

I hated it as a little boy when she tried to kiss me, and any time I heard her yell, “Christopher!”, I would cringe.

And I really dreaded going to her apartment, the one she lived in for decades somewhere near our apartment in Yonkers, NY, mostly because it smelled really, really bad, and so did she.

As a little kid, you have none of walls you create around yourself as you get older, and just let your thoughts fly.

I remember the Lysol commercials to eliminate halitosis. I told her she had houseatosis, and needed to spray the whole place.

I know she hated me to the grave. That’s OK, I love her and know she is with Jesus, so she is happy.

Anyway, I know I might get some grief over this title, though I figured, so what. I would rather polarize you, than this be a milque toast blog of drivel. People either love me or hate me, and that will never change.

The whole purpose of this was the article I just read about the gal in St. Louis who cut in line @ a Walmart to join her cousin in the faster moving line, and it being blown up from an ant hill to a mountain.

Supposidly the gal, who was a 24 yr old college student, was in another line in the store and when she saw the one moving that her cousin was in, she went to join them.

Now I don’t have a problem with that at all. I have done it w/ my wife, and I have seen it done in front of me. If it’s done right, and not too late, it’s not a problem. What I do have a problem with is someone says she pushed her way in, and shoved someone else’s stuff out of the way.

What is the problem is if you push people out of the way to save 60 seconds; then it’s kind of rude. And the biggest thing we try to promote on the blog, and in general, is tollerance, patience, and courtesy, which go a long way today to prevent your arse from being kicked, or even killed.

I told you about the Federal agent who was killed by the guy who he flipped off, Flip The Bird – Loose Your Life.

Or the guy who complained to the punks next to him to wait their turn at the bowling alley, only to get a tooth knocked out by a 15 lb Bruswick Pinmaster Deluxe bowling ball; Bowling Alley Self Defense Tips.

So the gal is going to get her day in trial, 3 years after the fact. That is not a speedy and efficient justice system, and we will be curious to see how the case goes.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you split test check-out lines with a spouse or friend, then join the faster line? Is it acceptable when done properly, or just plain rude?

What is a good self defense style for a disabled person?

Posted By admin

Nick F asked:

I have a minor disability that affects my balance somewhat and my ability to stand for long periods. I’d like to learn self defense. Would boxing be adequate? I don’t really care for participating in tournaments, I just want the self defense bit of it.
I already carry concealed. I travel by air extensively, It would hinder my travels to depend solely on a firearm ;p. I do love the sense of humor, though!
