      I got it for Christmas last year. It is a lot of fun! I also have the electrified tennis rackets. The a-salt rifle has been much more effective. It doesn't kill the flies but stuns and paralyzes them enough to collect them.

        Agreed! I've mentioned a trip to my bro-in-law's Colorado cabin (and his extensive gun collection). I found his .44 Magnum and various rifles interesting, but the only model I ended up buying was the Bug-a-Salt 2.0.

          i almost want flies to show up in my house! ultimately, its a win/win. no flies, win. get to shoot flies with my bug-a-salt shotgun, win.

            are you buffalo bill-ing your captured flies?

              We are about done Christmas shopping for kids, but I am having a bit of "gifting block" for my wife. Anyone getting anything cool this year? Now is a good time to brag in the guise of helping me out!

                I got my wife a Pilates reformer, but only because she asked for it. It could be dangerous to get for one’s spouse without prior consent, for the potential implied message.

                  Mrs. D makes smoothies often. And our nutri bullet blender sucks. So I'm buying her a Vitamix.

                      I usually get Mrs. NWC a piece of art that she’s expressed interest in the previous year. Nothing really came up this year so I’ve stepped it up a notch. There’s been a Facebook ad with a hoodie that says ‘yes, I’m cold, me 24:7’ that perfectly describes her. And then to make it even more memorable I got her some lounge pants that are supposed to be all the rage.

                      I know what you’re thinking; you’re all embarrassed because I’m showing everyone up. It’s ok, I’m freely giving you my advice in the hopes of many happy wives this Christmas.

                        My wife wants a new garage door. She wanted that last year too. I suck.

                          My wife said she wanted a Claddaugh Ring. I told her I looked around and wasn't able to get one that I was happy with. It is sitting in my desk drawer.

                            I got my wife those bone conductor earbuds someone posted. Also a Disney 100 Dooney and Burke purse. And a new iPad.

                            We've been through some shit this year. She deserves it all.

                              That’s funny. I ordered the same hoodie for Mrs. D like a month ago. And then last week I realized I hadn’t received shipping status/info. And a little research shows that it was probably a scam site I ordered from. So I put a stop payment on the credit card charge. Did your hoodie arrive?

                                great. Now i gotta come up with something else!

                                just checked. I have an email that says it was shipped. We will see in 10-14 business days.
