No, I wasn't talking about them, er, us. The little chilluns of the world...
I'm not really talking much about anything. I've battled, pushed ahead, fallen back, declined, excelled, blossomed and begun, and now, I've finally obtained in my posts what the Head Pirate around here says of HI forum; chit chat.

Howdy,
Thought I would give some thoughts on Spectre's brutal assault upon me.
I 'aimed' (point shooting) at his center of mass after he began his run with the sharpie. He reached me but was had no muscle tone at all when he did so. The sharpie put about an inch of ink on my arm. I don't think a knife would have done more than a very superficial laceration...if that. He felt like a wet dish cloth when he hit me.
I'm not too sold on the various less than lethal weapons available. Even if I did use a Taser on someone-when they decided to get back up is when I would have decided to start doing Mozambiques on them while going for slide lock.
Tell you what, if you do get Tased or pepper sprayed and find that you are still mobile, it might be the better part of valor to leave before the real guns come out.
Kids, don't try this at home. We were damned lucky that I didn't blind John that day.

Just for the record, grabbing an electric fence is indeed painful. Don't ask me how I know that. I often have to find things out the hard way. I never worked up the nerve to urinate on one. "Mythbusters" says that you ought to be all right, but there are a few things that I'll take on faith.
I've never been tazed, but I don't like the thought of having barbed pieces of metal removed from my body. (My needle phobia at work? Possibly.) I'll stick to grabbing fences.

Now,
Does it really hurt to urinate on an electric fence?
What happens if you lick a railroad track in -10 degree weather?
Which is really a better stopper, 45 or 357 mag?
had a dog that urinated on an electric fence - i'd say from his reaction it was a tad painful. he never did THAT again.
we had a seaman lick a guard rail at well below -10F, they needed to heat the rail with hot water from a large kettle to unstick it. he never did THAT again.
don't know about #3, but if i hit a badguy with either i'd be able to say "he never did THAT again."
Have a happy holiday & don't poke any more holes into things than necessary.

Speaking of electric fences.....
When I had my four Airedales I kept an electric fence in operation around the perimeter of my yard, not only to keep the dogs in but to keep the riffraff out.
I'm sure everyone here has seen the cartoons where the victim of mayhem saw stars? And I'm reasonably sure that everyone here has heard someone say, "It hurt so bad I saw stars!!!!"?
Well I always thought that was just a bunch of hooey that some dumbass had thought up to portray pain in the cartoons, little did I know.
When I was still remodeling my little house in the burbs - one day I was very, very, carefully putting some precision cut trim lumber over the fence and I didn't take down the wire connecting the electric fence to the final post and so it was very much alive!!!!
While I was so very, very, carefully sliding the trim wood down to the sidewalk so I could then go through the house and bring it inside the farthest thing from my mind was that damned electric fence!!!!
And finally as I was watching so very, very, carefully so as to not damage the precision cut trim lumber my nose came into contact with the damned hot wire of the electric fence!!!!
I SAW STARS, MULTITUDES OF STARS!!!! and never again have I ever doubted anyone when they said, "It hurt so damned bad I saw stars!!!!"

Came into contact with electrical fences a bunch as a kid. We had this big time farmer behind my neighborhood. He had lots of woods on his land, so it was a big draw for us. Plus he had a pond with alligators we liked to visit. Dumbass kids. Anyway when he chased us sometimes we didn't have time to navigate the fence carefully. It hurt, but I don't think it was a preventative pain for us. We did dare a kid to pee on one once, and he didn't like the experience. He He. We didn't like him much anyway as he was older and kinda a bully. Still like to think of the dance he did when he found out we were right. Feels good even now.
