"You can't scare me. I have kids."
I'm going to tase Ogged and claim it was a medical procedure.

My wife and kids would really enjoy Tasing me.
Is there anyone that, at some level, I wouldn't enjoy tasing? Even, like, the pope would be fun. I guess John Lewis would not be OK to tase.
So I guess this is the thread where we learn more than we really wanted to about our fellow commenters.
I would discourage tasing older people because they might have heart attacks. Even the Pope, I'm sure he hasn't had a self-destructive lifestyle, but he probably ingests a lot of wine and cholesterol.
Come on, everyone has some place inside where they want to tase. I'm not saying you actually should tase anyone, let alone the Pope.
Yeah 7 is the problem. Can you set the tase to super low of you're a cop dealing with a rampaging 60 yr old?
I think your problem is likely to be the Swiss Guard.
"The Christian in me says it's wrong, but the corrections officer in me says, 'I love to make a grown man piss himself."
Oh, that kind of ablation. I was all excited at first because I'm in the early stages of a clinical trial for a new version of the uterine kind. But now that it's not about me, I don't have to care.
First the ablution, then the ablation.
16: Fair point. Maybe whoever was paying him to instigate his latest coup, unless they threatened not to pay.
I know it's not teo's way to insist on stuffy linguistic prescriptions, or any linguistic prescriptions, but I was nevertheless surprised that he went with "who" in 14.
That's just how it goes in my idiolect, and the alternative didn't even occur to me until I saw 16. Descriptivism as a way of life.
Bob Denard doesn't have time for linguistic niceties.
French guys named things like "Bob" and "Jef" are always cool.
No matter what they tell you, death is always on the list.
I think Chris Christie would be fun to tase.
Dammit, Trivers, now you're tempting me to agree.
I am not only agreeing but giggling sadistically at the thought.
My grandmother had a taser. I had the weirdest urge to tase myself to see what it felt like. Other than that I never had the urge to tase anyone. Basically, I'm the only virtuous person to ever comment here.
20: And my response was not meant to be shaming or a correction, just idiolectalicious from here as well.
Whoever tases Walt first gets the title of "only virtuous person to ever comment here".
Walt was virtuous for the six words he wrote before splitting an infinitive.
Come on, everyone has some place inside where they want to tase.
Thanks a whole bundle for 32 which I have just clicked on at work. Not sure what I explain that as research into
30: If any of you procrastinating grammarians can manage the feat, you're welcome to the title.
30: If any of you procrastinating, enervated grammarians can manage the feat, you're welcome to the title.
30: If any of you procrastinating, enervated, etiolated grammarians can manage the feat, you're welcome to the title.
Go get him, Gswift. He said it's okay.
Isn't Nathan going to be in your neck of the woods by this weekend or something, Walt? Beware!
I like how no one is surprised that RT wants to torture everyone with electricity.
It's not the first time he's mentioned it
38: I live in Ulan-Bator. There's no electricity here.
The old-style acoustic tasers were pretty ineffective.
39: Well, I for one am shocked.
I wonder if I'm the only member of the commentariat who has been tased.
Did you try to kick the rear window out of a cruiser?
Truly I was born to be an example of misfortune, and a target at which the arrows of adversity are aimed.
45: Gswift had it done as part of his training, IIRC.
47, 49: Then my experience was like gswift's. I wasn't a cop, but I was observing police training with early-model Tasers. I accepted their offer to zap me.
