Taser: making the world more like splinter cell
Posted February 15, 2006 at 12:12 pm by Spamalot
The Taser company makes hi-tech ways to stop bad guys without killing them. Their latest invention, the “Extended Range Electro-Muscular Projectile”, paralyzes no-goodnicks without the need of a wire from the device to the projectile. This allows for much greater range in a non-lethal weapon.
Sound Familiar? Yup, its the sticky shocker from Splinter Cell. So now law enforcement can non-lethally squat perps–Sam Fisher Style!

i saw something on this recently. very neat. the show looked at lot of different ways to drop a perp without opening him up. non-lethal force and smart weapons. some of it is pretty brutal.
the sticky shocker, i love. because 9 times out of 10, in SC, you stick a dude who’s not aware he’s about to be stuck.
imagine you’ve got a pretty good job as a security specialist. you’ve got a gun, clearance to use it, and you’re feeling pretty tough. then out of a shadow comes the whisper of a tiny projectile that electrocutes you until you are unconcious. i’d HATE that.

I can see it now…
“Uh, Sir, I could have sworn I grabbed the TASER shottie.”
“It’s alright, private. Go get the mop bucket.”

(Duke Nukem Voice) “Oooh, what a messss!” hehe.
(Points shottie at perp) “My name is Sayid, and I am a Taserer…”

Hahahaaaaa…
BTW your useless stupid fact of the day: The bearded American that made Sayid torture his commanding officer last night? He’s the voice of Mr. Krabs on Spongebob Squarepants.

even better: he was Brother Justin on Carnivale AND the voice Mr Freeze! He’s the man. did anyone notice Kate’s step-dad on the truck that dropped Sayid off? the dude even had a pic of Kate!

Yeah, I noticed Kate’s dad clear as day. Jeez, im a little late on my lost post and you guys start talking about it everywhere! ROFL

I am Wiggles Girth….and I’m a tortellini.
Room temperature ranch dipping sauce? BLARG! That’s just nasty.
I also give Sawyer the award for best Amphibian Squat. Poor little froggy didn’t see it coming.
I totally missed the step dad. My inner girth told me that there were connections being made, but I didn’t catch that that was it. Good stuff.
Someone post a good forum for lost discussions. I gotta see what theories and catches are being brought to the light.

Why not use this post as the forum?
I totally missed Kate’s dad with Sayid, good eyes, guys.
Oh and it wasn’t room temperature ranch dressing, it was tropical HEAT temperature ranch dressing. I’d still hog dat, though. You know they HAD to throw that all in there because the guy who plays hurley is too much of a fattie to even lose weight. YOU’RE IN BLARGIN’ HAWAII, FOR GOODNESS SAKE! DROP WEIGHT ALREADY!!!
He would instantly drop 50 pounds if he pulled the chicken grease IV out of his arm and cut down on the coagulated bacon dripping shakes he has every morning.
Sawyer did indeed squat that frog. He’s evil. Guarentee he is going to kill someone real soon.

I think the frogging squashing had DUAL meaning. that sawyer is a bad muff. and something to do with going and finding something and killing it. it also kinda parallels the captured dudes situation. sayid the squasher. i think we’ll see more of those cool parallels soon. or an enriching of already established but unclear parallels.

I think Hurley was thankful he didn’t have to eat a live frog. Ranch dat.
