Seasonal Fare

Season’s Greetings from Taser Grandma

This year, I’d like to once again present a Holiday Horror and/or Holiday Triumph for each day in December leading up to Christmas. But I’ve gained a larger readership since last Yuletide, and that means increased bandwidth and more overtime for the guys down in the archival warehouse. (Frank, Tony, Carmine, Joey, and Fran do good job, they really do.)

So reluctantly, I’ve had to take on some outside sponsors to make this year’s Holiday Horrors/Triumphs possible. But I want all of you know that I’d never take on a sponsor that might compromise or bring shame to this site. In that spirit, I present my first holiday sponsor, Taser Grandma, America’s oldest and most lovable taser salesperson, who you can follow on Twitter here.

WHEN I THINK OF THIS TIME O’ YEAR, I REMEMBER GOIN OUT WITH TASER GRAMPA TO PICKS US UP THE OL’ FAMILY CHRISTMAS TREE. WE’D HIKE OUT INTO THE WOODS, JUST ME, HIM, AND THE YOUNG’UNS, AND WE WOULDN’T COME HOME UNTIL WE FOUND JUST THE RIGHT ONE! BUT WE WOULDN’T CHOP IT DOWN, NO SIREE. WE’D TASE IT DOWN! TOOK A BIT LONGER THAN AN AXE, BUT BY GUM, IT WAS WORTH IT, EVEN IF THE SHOCKMEISTER 3000 SINGED OFF ALLA THE DAD-GUM PINE NEEDLES.

THEN THE KIDDIES WOULD SET OUT SOME MILK AND COOKIES FOR SANTY CLAUS, PLUS HIS VERY OWN RED AND GREEN ZAPS-A-POPPIN 750. IT’S A GOOD WEAPON FOR THE OLDER FELLER; EASY TO USE BUT STILL GOTTA LOTTA KICK. I KNOW SANTA GETS INTO SOME ROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS AND A BODY CAN’T BE TOO CAREFUL. WOULDN’T WANT ALL THE GOOD BOYS N’ GIRLS TO BE DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE HE WASN’T SUFFICIENTLY ARMIN HIMSELF FOR ALL THE DANGERS OF THE MODERN URBAN LANDSCAPE, DAG NABBIT!

BUT MY FAVORITE PART OF CHRISTMAS CAME WHEN ALL MY YOUNG’UNS HAD LITTLE SHAVERS OF THEIR OWN, AND I GOTS TO SPOIL EM ALL EVERY YEAR. LORD, IT BROUGHT MY HEART SUCH JOY TO SEE THEIR FACES LIGHT UP WHEN THEY OPENED UP THEIR PRESENTS. AND IT BROUGHT ME EVEN MORE JOY TO SEE EM LIGHT UP EACH OTHER FACES WITH THOSE PRESENTS, THE LIL’ SIZZLER. PERFECT SIZE FOR LITTLE HANDS AND JUST ENOUGH KICK TO KEEP DOWN THE MONKEYSHINES!

TASER GRANDMA WISHES YOU AND YOUR’N ALL THE BEST THIS HOLIDAY SEASON! MAY THE COMIN YEAR BRING US ALL PEACE AND GOOD WILL. AND IF IT DON’T, MAY IT BRING US ALL OUR VERY OWN FLESHWRANGLER 5000, CUZ THAT BABY CAN GELD A PRIZE STALLION AT 800 YARDS! IF SOMEONE CUTS IN FRONT OF YOU AT THE OL FIVE AND DIME, THAT’LL LEARN EM!

Football

2010 AFC West Preview, by Taser Grandma

With the NFL season about to kickoff, Scratchbomb has asked a few luminaries to give us their takes on the upcoming football season. For our final installment, I’ve asked Taser Grandma, America’s oldest and most lovable taser salesperson, who you can follow on Twitter here.

tasergramma.jpgTHAT’S RIGHT, I’M TASER GRANDMA. GOT 16 WONDERFUL GRANDCHILDREN AND A WHOLE WAREHOUSE FULLA TASERS THAT I’M SELLIN AT LOW, LOW PRICES! SOME OLDSTERS GIVE THEIR GRANDKIDS BUTTERSCOTCH CANDIES. ME, I GIVES EM TASERS! THEY LOVE SHOCKIN EACH OTHER BY THE OL’ TIRE SWING!

AND I LOVES ME SOME FOOTBALL, TOO! ALMOST AS MUCH AS I LOVES TASERIN! THERE’S ONLY ONE THING MORE THRILLIN THAN WATCHING THE PIGSKIN WARRIORS BATTLE IT OUT ON THE GRIDIRON, AND THAT’S ZAPPIN A FULL GROWN MAN WITH THE SHOCKMEISTER 500, ON SALE DIRECT FROM ME, TASER GRANDMA! WATCHIN HIM CRUMPLE TO THE GROUND LIKE A SACK A CHARRED TATERS!

I’M HOPIN TO GET AN ENDORSEMENT DEAL WITH THE NFL. I SEEN WHAT THEM COPS DID TO THAT NOGOODNIK WHAT RAN ON THE FIELD IN PHILADELPHIA, AND I GOT ME AN IDEAR. WHY NOT EQUIP EVERY SEAT IN EVERY SPORTS STADIUM WITH A TASER? PURE ENNERTAINMENT! EVERYONE COULD GET UP FOR THE 7TH INNING TASE! NOTHIN MORE THRILLIN THAN WATCHIN A WHOLE ARENA DROP LIFELESS!

ROGER GOODELL WON’T RETURN MY CALLS! IF HE KNOWS WHAT’S GOOD FOR HIM, HE’LL PICK UP THAT PHONE. OR ELSE HE’LL PICK UP A COUPLE THOUSAND VOLTS!

WHO’M I PICKIN TO WIN THE AFC WEST THIS YEAR? THE CHARGERS OF COURSE! I LIKE THE CUT OF THAT BOLT MAN’S JIB! AND THAT SHAWN MERRIMAN SURE CAN HIT HARD! ALMOST AS HARD AS THE SHOCKMEISTER 500! THAT’S THE TRUTH! THE SHEER, BALL-RATTLING TRUTH!

HE DON’T HIT AS HARD AS THE ORIGINAL TASERS, THOUGH. WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, TASERS WERE JUST A PAIR OF RUSTY PLIERS HOOKED UP TO A CAR BATTERY! YOU EITHER STOPPED YOUR ASSAILANT’S HEART OR GAVE HIM TETANUS!

I LIKES THE CHARGERS BUT I DON’T CARE FOR THAT PHILLIP RIVERS. SOMETHING ABOUT THAT FACE JUST DON’T SIT RIGHT WITH ME. I’D LIKE TO GIVE THAT BOY A SPANKIN–A TASER SPANKIN! IF YOU WANNA HUMBLE SOMEONE, JUST GIVE EM A DOSE OF VITAMIN T. NOTHIN’S MORE HUMBLIN THAN GETTIN YOUR PRIVATES-HAIR SINGED OFF!

BUT WHO I REALLY DON’T LIKE IS THEM RAIDERS FANS. DRESSIN UP LIKE IT’S HALLOWEEN EVERY GOL-DURN SUNDAY. THEY’RE GONNA THINK IT’S THE FOURTH OF JOO-LIE WHEN SENDS UP MY FIREWORKS–MY TASER FIREWORKS! Y’EVER TASE A RAIDERS FAN? IT’S GREAT! SPARKS ARCIN ALL OVER THE SPIKES ON THEIR SILVER SAMURAI PIRATE GET UPS!

SOME FOLKS THINK THE CHIEFS IMPROVED, BUT I THINKS THE ONLY THING THAT GOT BETTER WAS THE TARGET FOR MY TASER! THAT CHARLIE WEIS IS A BIG FELLA, AIN’T HE? MAYBE LIGHTNIN JUICE’LL GET THAT BLUBBER OFF YOU, FATTY!

AS FOR THE BRONCOS, THAT TIM TEBOW FELLER’S A BIT TOO HIGH AND MIGHTY IF YOU ASK ME. HE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN DOWN A PEG. AND THE BEST PEG-TAKIN-DOWN TOOL THERE IS? YOU GUESSED IT, A GOOD OL’ FASHIONED TASERIN.

AND IF MR. TEBOW’S IN THE MARKET, WE GOTS A FULL LINE OF RELIGIOUS-THEMED TASERS. THE SHEPHERD 316 IS A CROSS-SHAPED TASER WITH THE LORD’S PRAYER TASTEFULLY INSCRIBED ON THE OBVERSE SIDE, SO’S YOU CAN COMMUNE WITH THE MAN UPSTAIRS WHILST YOU SEND SOME NO GOOD PUNK TO HELL!
