why am i not sleeping?

what's new in the news? well, it looks like that vile woman ann coulter has spouted off again, calling john edwards a faggot. oh, but when she said faggot, she didn't mean in the homosexual sense, she meant... wait, what?
also, in "Scary Government News", the navy has developed a ray gun that makes people vomit. yes, you heard that right. they're describing it as a "Star Trek hand-held Phaser Weapon set on 'Stun'" want better news? it has the ability to go through walls.
do you upload nudie pics to photobucket or flikr? well stop it! the government has drafted a proposal that would make websites keep track of who uploads what, in case police determine the content is illegal and want to investigate. so no more pictures of you bathing your daughters, or videos of you making LED-lighted advertisements to hang up around major cities.
but the united states doesn't have a monopoly on scary, civil liberties-trampling orwellianism (is that a word?). lo! france says it's now illegal for private citizens to film acts of violence. in an unflattering twist of fate, the council chose to publish its decision approving the law on the 16th anniversary of the Rodney King beatings. checks and balances? who needs 'em! you want something a little more 1984? china has blocked livejournal. are they worried about free speech? importing democracy? the influx of western ideas? or just really pissed off that some chinese kid is telling the world that parents just don't understand?

Emo chinese kids will have to find another way to rebel.

Those guns have been around for a while. We also have some green-light emitting guns that are supposed to confuse and disorient. We also have a web shooter, that sprays a sticky web-like substance and is supposed to immolate the subject.

Umm, let's see...what else. Oh, there's lots of fun things. I didn't go to the link, but I'm pretty sure that Vomit Gun is the sub-sonic emulator....but if it isn't, we have those two, that are supposed to make you queasy and nauseous and wanting to lie down and stuff.

They're all pretty unreliable though, so I'll stick with my AR-15 .223.

immolate? explode?

[g4sheriff.livejournal.com]

Beats me, that's a fancy word I use that I don't quite know the exact definition.

I like how you're not on AIM, that's cool

Oh, here, according to Wikitionary:

to immolate

1. to kill as a sacrifice
2. to destroy, especially by fire

back to my original question...the webbing is supposed to destroy by fire?

[g4sheriff.livejournal.com]

No, that'd be kinda cool. You can set someone on fire by using an alcohol based O/C spray and then hit them with a taser, but it's kind of rare. I saw some video of it though. In one of our cells.

No, the webbing just covers them with it and renders them immobile. I have a better word to use for it, but I done forgot.

THEN WHY DID YOU USE THE WORD IMMOLATE?!!

[g4sheriff.livejournal.com]

To try and impress you with my large, girth-filled vocabulary.

[spooky-nine.livejournal.com]

just admit you were wrong and be done with it. :D

[g4sheriff.livejournal.com]

Never! I am never wrong! I was testing you, to see if you could pick up when someone was trying to snow you.

You passed!

Congratulations!
