Approval Ratings Time

[aggienaut]

In the spirit of lurvepirate's recent saturday afternoon poll, its time to ascertain just how much you guys really like me (and see how many of you are actually paying attention on a Saturday afternoon)!

[Poll #1041478]

And I hereby proclaim that you should repost this poll in your own lj, or else ... you'll get genital lobsters or something.

PS: I dedicate this poll to slosha.

The question is, would tazering be a good thing or a bad thing?

[furzicle.livejournal.com]

You know, these polls definitely need a comments section of their own. For example, Would you tazer me? Yes if it would get you to remove that 24 pack case of empties from your room. Or Yes, if it would make you lose the muttonchops.

but... what does 'tazer' mean?

[daemonllama.livejournal.com]

Taser or stun gun? I wouldn't fire a device which inaccurately flings metal barbs at you, but if for some reason you really wanted to be zapped, I would consider using a stun gun. I got cattle prodded at a party by Jason Webley, but that isn't really the same thing since that thing dumps high current at low voltage between two closely placed electrodes effectively making you or a cow feel like you just got pinched really hard.

Props if you know why it is a TASER and not a TAZER if you can tell me without resorting to wikipedia like i did.

why would I want to be tazered??

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

Oh I thought it was tazer with a Z -- assuming it was an acronym or brand name or something. Taser with an S looks more logical, but I'd wager its still an acronym no?

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

"Tom A. Swift's Electric Rifle," apparently!

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

Whoa I just looked it up, thats extremely silly -- being named after a children's science fiction character.

[pavel-lishin.livejournal.com]

I would tazer you with love.

One of my fellow bass trombone players at CSUF (not Simon) had a taser which he used on himself frequently. He was not a very good musician.
Have you heard stories of Bampi and his cattle prod?

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

No I haven't heard about Bampi and his cattle prod?


And why did this fellow taser himself?

[thepeoplesmp.livejournal.com]

This isnt a particularly fair question, really. Given the chance, I think I would tazer anyone.

[furzicle.livejournal.com]

Nor Have I heard of Bampi and his cattle prod.

well for that matter...

[mia76.livejournal.com]

you said Ve-Man was Frat Boy's alter-ego...
why waste a chance? tazzzerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[bobolly.livejournal.com]

This guy.... well that's a really tough question. I'd say he did it just for attention, but I got the idea he did it when no one was around too. Like caffeine? That extra jolt to start the day maybe? If you met him, you'd think he was pretty brain dead. If you heard him play trombone, that would pretty much confirm it. So I catergorised the tasering along with that. He did start bringing it out among the younger trombone players trying to get them with it too. But they also had weird habits of trying to get the other guys to look at their genitals by surprise, or grabbing each other's testicles. Thank god I'm not a guy... (ps that did not involve Simon at all!)
As far as Bampi, I'm getting worried about this now that your mom doesn't remember either, but I'm pretty sure. I'll check with dad.

[bobolly.livejournal.com]

Damn I'm lame. I could have sworn I heard a story about him waving it at misbehaving children, but I think it may have been my small mind enhancing stories. Dad said he vaguely remembered Bampi showing him one once.

why would anyone want to tazer anyone else at all? that is just mean spirited.
