tazer me this

When I was about 13 years old a judo school opened up on Staten Island and of course me and a bunch of friends decided to join. After a couple of weeks our "sensei" taught us a few different choke holds (the choke hold is a very popular way to get your opponent to submit, which usually happens when they tap their hand forcefully on the mat; known as "tapping out"). But, sometimes your opponent tries to be a tough guy and you gotta choke that motherfucker til he passes out. Most people on Staten Island would like to be perceived as tough guys and this resulted in a lot of heavy eyelids at our judo school. We thought this was really funny. In fact, we thought it was so funny that we started sneaking up behind each other while we were at school to choke the shit out of each other. But, this time because our "sensei" wasn't around to tell us to chill no one was allowed to tap out. Sounds pretty shitty huh? We'd be at the schoolyard playing handball and someone would run up behind you, grab you by the neck, and literally choke you till you hit the ground. All your friends ran up, laughed hysterically, and pointed at you while your eyes got real sleepy. Hahaha!

The Youtube tazer video library reminds me of those days. We'd have been the happiest kids alive if we could've run around tazing each other but I don't think the technology was there back in 92. Too bad, I'm sure tazing causes less brain damage than choking your friends until they fall asleep gently in your arms.
