STUN GUN ( Only a guy would do this )
STUN GUN (Only a guy would do this!) Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser for their anniversary submitted this : Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 22nd anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife. 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 triple-a 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 arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. Awesome!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Toni 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 triple-a 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 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 taser 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; 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; pretty cute really and loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-a batteries) 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 as to say, "don't do it master," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION@!@$$!%!@*!!! I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura 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 standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "do it again, do it again!" Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser, 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. SON-OF-A-... that hurt like hell!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), 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. How did they up get there??? 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'm still looking for my testicles. I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return.

Speaking of brushpiles...
The best brushpiles I have made are by taking cement blocks and cutting branches off of trees. Stick one through one hole and one through the other way. Theise are easy to handle and you can cut your brush at the river or lake if legal. You can put as many as you want in a area. Just remember if you are catching fish on a regular basis don't dare put a brush pile there. I have tryed this and I endup catching very few fish there anymore at that spot. 8-)

shallow winter bass?
Not that this happens everywhere but 4 weeks ago I was fishing a river in eastern NC. Water temp was 42d and I caught about 25 bass in about 12 - 18" of water next to logs. I expect it had a lot to do with the current in the river it was very strong. But to answer your question go to the NW corner and start throwing a spinerbait down the side of the bank and work your way out to the middle. Try to vary your retrive. 8-)

Northwest Corner of Lake?
Also if you are going to fish tournaments for money Don't never put your money up hopeing that the fish will do a certain thing. You need to know what they are doing first. 8-)

Michael Waltrip's a CHEAT!!
I wonder why they don't just give everyone a polygraph like they do when we are fishing tournaments. In the fishing rules it states you have to pass a polygraph in orter to win not that you cheated. Do this to all sports at random. This will stop most of it.

When should the fish start biting
I'am just a little north of both of you! We have a little get together every Saturday morning at the Roanoke river ( Plymouth NC ) you won't have any problem with catching 12-15lb of bass this time of year. We have an ABA tournament on the Neuse River the 24th of Feb. Come on down and fish with us. You can come as a boater or a nonboater. Might draw some of the guys that are hot down that way this time of year! If you need any more info just email me. 8-)

I hate Albuquerque and their stupid cameras
We have them in Rocky Mount NC. I have recived 2 tickets in the mail for running a yellow light both times. I protested because the picture showed the lights were yellow. They told me I would have to put up $50.00 to have an appeal. They sent me another letter and told me they found me guilty and I had to send them another $100.00. Well i did some checking and found out that NASA with your tax dollards came up with this BS and sells to companys and the companys talk the citys into putting them up and gives the city about 35%. Well being as crazy as I am I took a picture of a hundred dollard bill and mailed it to them. They have been threating me for a year now. Ain't going to pay! They can ajust the camras any way they want. Still ain't going to pay. ;D ;D ;D

Otters
I fish the rivers of eastern NC and we have plenty of otters. When you see two or three playing around you just as soon move on because you ain't going to get many bites from the fish. They will go into hiding. Fish know not to get anywhere close to a otter.
