I can probably do the esophagal stretching for a much more reasonable price if you are shopping around.

Granted, this was told to me by a crazy person, and since I have no interest in subjecting myself to mild electrical shocks of any degree, I will be forever ignorant of whether this was a joke or not.

If you want to try it, go ahead. Let me know if it works.

Obviously, this (practically) only works with 9 volt batteries (although I would like to meet the person who could get their tounge to touch both the positive and negative terminals on a "D" cell battery).

The jolt isn't too bad - mostly startling. And you have to have a fair amount of experience to know the difference between the jolt from a good or bad battery.

And never stick your tongue in a wall socket to see if it is working.

Well, I thought lashbear was talking about putting a 9V in his alarm clock in another thread, so I assumed he was referring to a 9V.

I accidentally had my finger on the metal part of the plug while plugging in an electrix mixer once. So, been there, done that.

I wonder why people think those hand buzzers are funny?

I wonder if any good wooden rollercoasters will ever be built in Southern California again...

I wonder why I didn't switch to Linux sooner

I wonder if the neighbors mind that I changed my porchlight to a red light?

I wonder if I'll ever be satisfied with my work.
I wonder if I'll ever stop doubting myself.
I wonder if I'll ever actually use the giant stockpile of fabric upstairs.

I wonder if I will one day recognize that the internet makes me an unproductive human being....and then decide to quit it.

Of course, I have a million other bad habits that I've "quit" many times over.

I beat the internet - the end boss was really tough, but the ending cutscene was lame...

Can you beat the $20 copay? Of course, I'm willing to bet you'd do it for free just to be a nice guy.
