Compare this to Boing Boing’s recent update in which Cory Doctorow asked for advice on buying a new ipod.

*perks up*

Really? I’ll have to go over and recommend the new Apple iScrote. For the sake of parity.

So we’d just been issued O.C. spray and I had just successfully deployed it against a man in an apartment wielding a baseball bat. I also learned that, in a closed environment, there is such a thing as backblast and environmental contamination. Although the spry worked like magic (he dropped the bat, fell to his knees, and started coughing and wheezing) I was forced to retreat down the hallway and yell at him to “crawl toward the sound of my voice”.
Later, I went to the PD to urinate and, only after I had finished and zipped up, did I realize that I had not properly decontaminated my hands. When my friend Randy came into the locker room, my pants were around my ankles and I had as much of my groin as I could get over the sink, furiously splashing water on it.
Randy said “uuuuhhhh, you need some privacy?”
I said “If you were any sort of friend at all, you’d help me out here.”
Randy slowly backed out of the room.

“… a lady from the Yukon who makes her living unearthing ten-thousand-year-old hunting artefacts from the ice up there.”

Could you tell us more?

Mr Watts, I, personally, am anxiously waiting for part two

but did you have to evacuate the restaurant before or after you got to eat the delicious mashed potatoes?

I volunteered to be tased and pepper sprayed when working as a security guard in college. The taser hurt. For the pepper spray I had them shoot it next to my head instead of in my face and i almost clawed my eyes out in the agony that followed.

Serious shit. I think I’d rather be shot than go through it again.

“Great Balls of Fire!”

Brag, brag, brag.

creepyfan said: Anyone else disappointed by the lack of scrotum involvement in the restaurant incident? The scrotum was involved (and was even present, albeit deep under cover). It became culpable for the whole mess back when it tricked me into thinking that the spray was harmless, that time I wet myself and felt no pain. No, the only cause I have for disappointment lies in the opportunity I missed to place a truly great title atop this posting. It was so obvious, too. How could I have missed "Great Balls of Fire!"?

That reminds me how I managed to rough up the inner surface of my lip by accidentally falling, to the point of bleeding.

And, off course, I was visited by the awesome idea to use this unpleasant incident to simulate coughing up blood in crowded public transport (for the lulz!), an idea I immediately embraced.

It was during the anthrax/bioterror scare.

Hilarity ensued.

*scritches the soft furry underbelly* The Carrot: I’ve got my own similar story: bug spray, penis, sexual penetration, chaos. That'll clear up any centipede problems we have up there, though. creepyfan: Anyone else disappointed by the lack of scrotum involvement in the restaurant incident? Strangely, not at all. But my brain is still stalled at the idea of nude vegetarian dinner parties, and why I never thought of them myself.

I love “Southern Accents” and I love your writing, but I hope to never eat in the same restaurant as you. Ever.

For the record

“The relationship between chili peppers and my scrotum has always been a difficult one.”

would be a great opener.

More furry underbelly! (pepper optional)

for the record I would like to mention there must be some happy medium between

“The relationship between chili peppers and my scrotum has always been a difficult one.”

and

“My previously unreleased story/book/poem/epic was published in/by xxx and will be available for purchase at date xxx, buy it so my cats can continue to eat, or wait until I get around to hosting it here”

I too have a story of woe that includes a paramour, making out on a couch and an unsafed bottle of pepper spray on a key chain, let us never speak of it again.

Restauarant schmestaurant.. spraying it in someone’s face results in inevitable hilarity every time.

Just testing. That’s a nice way of putting it

“It got off to a rocky start back during grad school, when I was making vegetarian tacos in the nude.”

You lost me right there; is this a Canadian thing?

I’ve got my own similar story: bug spray, penis, sexual penetration, chaos.
