Ramblings of the Mad Cow

Give a man a gadget and he is bound by nature to play with it.

This is one of those stories where you begin to chuckle…then find yourself laughing out loud.

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 taser. The effects of the taser 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!!!

I have no idea where this originated, so don’t get too upset over your results.Five things are happening in your house at the same time. In which sequence would you solve them?

1. The telephone is ringing!
2. The baby is crying!
3. Someone’s knocking or calling you from the front door!
4. You hung the clothes out to dry and it is beginning to rain!
5. You left the tap on in the kitchen and the water is already overflowing!

Ok, boys and girls, I’ve got the game write up about Friday night over at Memphis Sport Magazine’s site. Don’t expect too much about specific plays, but I did manage to stockpile this one with photos. Enjoy!
