Bum-gun vs. zap-it racquet

The Bug Racquet can lead to many happy hours with your partner, at the first sight of insect life a rush to the death occurs to see who can get the swatter first! Try swatting a Blue Bottle sized fly, they dont die instantly, it takes several swipes and the smell of burnt fly is like Napalm in the Morning. I also enjoy the game "Will I be electricuted when I plug in into charge". My better half likes nothing more than swatting my hairy legs, seeing me jump a mile and smelling burnt leg hair, but thats another story!

i bought one of these on petchaburi rd , i thought it would be great for australian flies
only problem was ,
the customs officer (lesbian) at my home airport confiscated it on sight and told me it was a dangerous weapon .
after issuing me a fine and rifling through my bags , for some reason she allowed me to keep my 200+ porn dvd's including such classics as "midget sluts from outer space" .
stranger still , she looked at my stun gun/torch, pressed all the buttons then gave it back to me .
maybe she was planning on swiping my address and popping round for a movie nite ?

The photo above looks staged, but it's not in my bathroom. Today during my morning constitutional I successfully wasted no less than 5 of the evil little bastards with that satisfying "ZAP". To be within easy reach the zapper is propped up in the corner next to the bum gun. Have to be careful not drop water on it. I'm also careful not to use both at the same time...

When taking my routine early morning dump, I prefer to squirt the little flying bastards with the bum gun, a slow drowning is to good for them.

Dengue Twice, Malaria Once – burn you little bastards, burn!

My mate brought one of those racquets back to work with him as in summer here (algeria) we have a fly problem. Demonstrating it one day he held it close to his ear and said "you can hear it humming" at that point he got too close and the thing arced onto the top of his ear causing him to scream and drop the racquet.!
Hilarious

I love those things, and yes get the big buggers with a swift swish the stunned bug is on the floor then you press the racquet down so the bug gets stuck between the wires and you then you become el executioner, wait a little let it think it is just dazed and then……. zap the fucker, just watch as the bugger sizzles between the wires and watch the acrid smoke rise from its writhing body.
The mozzies however just disintegrate which is pleasing but no fun at all

I fucking love it, revenge for all those pesky bugs that have landed in my dinner, beer hair, eye, ear, etc. also including the dreaded night ride on a motorbike on an island etc if you don’t have a helmet they will always end up in your eye or mouth.

Oh yes they work wonders on non flying creepy-crawlies as well, you just got to somehow stun the fuckers first..

Enjoy……………….!

On my recent sojourn in the kingdom (I have to go back once a year just to check I wasn't imagining it) I got one of these gizmos. Crackling good fun. I love the smell of burn't mosquito in the morning. I used to battle to keep mozzies out of the room but once you own a buzz bat their never seems to be any around. I was leaving windows and doors open for hours in the hope that some might wander in. Eventually resorted to going outside on the balcony to make pre-emptive strikes.

I was surprised to find that 20,000V doesnt always off the feckers. After a minute they start twitching, eventually stagger to their feet again, wobble around for a while and then fly off. I got worried that these lazarus like high voltage electrifried fiends might transmogrify into B-Movie mutated Frankensquitoes and come crashing back through the mesh screen in the middle of the night seeking revenge so I started squashing them while they were in stasis.

When I bought the bat I had a vague memory of the above posting about them being illegal in Oz. So to evade customs I kept it wrapped in its foil bag and packed it vertically against the side wall in the suitcase so its silhouette might not show on the X-ray. I got through OK and then saw another geezer getting his bat took off him after it was picked up by the same X-Ray machine (seems everybody is at it!). So that is todays top tip - smuggle them vertically.

Even though they are illegal (classed as dangerous weapons) in Australia I was allowed to take it on as hand luggage on a domestic flight in Thailand. The connection was late so we had to take all bags as hand luggage. The bag checkers looked at the bat, looked at each other, shrugged an said 'mai pen rai!'

I love Thailand.
