...I'd use it to disintegrate trash and unused construction materials, to trim back tree limbs (or get rid of these dang silver maples altogether), dig holes and trenches, cut drywall, clean the catbox, etc. Would never use it in anger.

You?

PS I mean a real TOS phaser - a MAN'S phaser - not those wimpy hand vacs from TNG.

Oh, I would use in it anger... you don't know how many times I've wanted my car equipped with phasers or photon torpedoes to get those jokers who like to go 60 on the fast lane out of the way.

Forgot about the stun setting.

Forget that whole "never in anger" thing.

Oh, man... I could have so much fun with one of those! 'Course, I've been advised by legal counsel not to mention a specific individual's name on DaNet any longer, but I can think of someone whom is more than deserving of some not very nice phaser burns.....

Gee.....so may people...so few phasers.

All people who think their needs and matters are more important than others.

Greedy People who lie....a lot.

Selfish, ignorant, drug using, double standard parents.

Most Polititians.

Illlegal Imigrants using our recourses.

Judges who don't have the balls to tell people to "Get out of my courtroom with this crap!"

People who think that yapping endlessly on a cell phone or texting while driving can be done safetly :rolleyes:

I better stop now....cuz I can go on for ever....and its dinner time.

They should make getting on welfare as difficult as obtaining a building permit.

Deranged minivans in traffic...

OOPS! That's what a small bank of forward-mounted photon torpedos would be used for. :D

The phasers would be for cleaning up the debris of the torpedoed minivans.

Frankly, the phaser idea is for you "faint-of-heart" types. I mean, somebody yanks your chain, you stun the S.O.B, he's out cold...fun's over.

Ah...the uses I could find for an "agonizer"...:devil:

liberals and connservatives
all over this laaaannnddd"

Yeah, but wakes up with one helluva headache, plus the unavoidable bladder and bowel issues while out. Makes a tazing look like a gentle massage by comparison (I would hope, anyway).

Make you a deal: I'll let you phaser Bush for not putting on his big boy pants on lots of issues, and you let me have first crack at a certain senior senator from a certain northeastern state. "Tread water, fat boy!" Bbbzzzt! :mad:

You wouldn't need a phaser for politicians. Most of 'em are already stunned.

Alright you guys. Let's knock off the political stuff. You know better than thatl. It's one thing to make a general "all politicians" thing, but when you start naming names and/or go partisan things Go South.

Plus: politiks arr verboten! Vhe haf vayz uhf may-king yu shtop wit ze politiks!


Capiche? ;)

Good. Now let's continue on with the discussion at hand. Personally, I like the idea of being able to use the stun setting on certain individuals - a lot. :)

Thiry seconds earlier, the classroom was a scene of mayhem and pandemonium. Paper airplanes sailed about the room, kids sat on the window sills tossing lunch bags back and forth. At any one moment, an amazing variety of otherwise stationary and typically earthbound objects had escaped the pull of gravity and thanks to devilish abandon, experienced the frredom of projectile motion.

And then - in walked Mr. Griff.

And suddenly - there was peace!

If I had a phaser AND could go back in time (while I'm wishing, might as well add that one) I'd vaporize all the mass murderers I could before they did their deeds. (THAT would mess up all the timelines!)

For the longest time (as a kid, anyway) I debated, "If I could pick, would I want a phaser or a lightsaber?" Two words decided I'd go with a phaser: SNOW REMOVAL.

Charles Bronson would have proabably taken a phaser to Central Park and left a trail of smoking footprints :freak:

Chuck Norrise doesn't shave - his beard automatically stops growing for that perfect look.
