So, at a stagette a few months back, Arwen<\/a> won herself one of these<\/a> (the url looks much scarier than the actual item, which is made by Waterpik), but this thing looks like it should have an equivalent Klingon name, or it’s a sex toy for scorpions or something. It’s not, and the idea is that you can hold this thing, and it’ll apply pressure to your back<\/i> when you’re holding it in front<\/i> of you.<\/p>\n

I don’t know why I’m talking abou- oh yeah.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So I’m cleaning up the bedroom\/computer area, and I find this thing tucked in beside\/behind the little mini wooden dresser thing I keep most of my techie toys in (cables, assorted ephemera), and I’m suddenly struck with the fact that this thing doesn’t really look rude<\/i>, but instead looks somewhat violent.<\/p>\n

I mean, I’m not saying that there aren’t probably all SORTS of attachments for it that can be purchased out there that would probably cause Catholic-Guilt-Based blindness much faster than via manual methods, but this thing looks like some weird sorta combination of firearm and slingshot.<\/p>\n

I mean, just look<\/i> at this thing:<\/p>\n

I don’t know what my point was. Maybe it wasn’t a point, but a question: Does this go in the tech-toy area, the bathroom, or under the mattress?<\/p>\n

Who knows.
