- From the “Want” Department – A man in Germany has invented yet another thing for my “Own Before You Die” list: a laser gatling gun. A green laser is used to aim, an electric motor turns the chambers, and 6 1.4 blue lasers lash out to bring flaming death to your target. At least, they bring flaming death to the balloons that have been shot so far. I just want one for night shoots, whether I hit and damage anything or not.
- From the “What Happens in Ibiza, Stays in Ibiza” Department – A German tourist to Spain had quite a night recently when the emergency department had to call in firefighters to saw off the steel ‘toy’ he had affixed to his nether regions. Wow, I got nothing here. I’m just standing in awe of the number of inappropriate jokes that can and probably will be made at this man’s expense.
- From the “Canine Vandalism” Department – Officials in the town of Henley, England, have determined that the lamp posts in the town have been weakened so much by rust on their bases that they are not safe to hang flower baskets from. Apparently the local dogs have been using the lamp posts so much that the resulting rust has become a problem. Might I suggest a better paint be used for the replacements?
- From the “I Believe I Can Fly” Department – An Australian surfer ended up in the hospital recently when the whale he and a few buddies were playing with decided to flip him around with its tail. I suspect no malice on the part of the whale. Rather, I suspect that he was just trying to return the high-fives and ‘hang loose’ gestures the dudes were offering him.
- From the “Smelly Scivies” Department – A French company is marketing a line of mens underwear that gives off a scent when worn. As the wearer starts to sweat into his briefs, they start giving off a delightful essences instead of the normal smell of a man’s sweaty underwear. Ladies, if your man suddenly starts wearing “Eau de Scrotum” underwear, you may have a problem.
- From the “Kinder, Gentler Mordor” Department – The legislature in Illinois voted today to override the “amendatory” veto of gun legislation sent back to them by Governor Quinn. Illinois lawmakers rejected proposals that would have limited concealed carry permit holders to carrying one gun at a time, restricted carry in establishments that serve alcohol, and have made business owners post if they allowed firearms, rather than posting if they rejected their carry in their establishment. Illinois now joins the rest of the states in allowing some kind of concealed carry. I’m interested in seeing how this shakes out in reciprocity.

/ July 9, 2013Wonder if you could get far enough away with the laser to shoot the balloons if they were filled with a oxy-acetylene mix.
Don’t do the gas mix, it is dangerous.
One just has to know that a emergency room visit (or worse) is probable and maybe a unfriendly visit by suits with badges.
