Electrified tennis racket backhands bugs

December 5, 2007

Zapabugracket

Down south, we used to deal with back porch bugs in one of two ways: either swat 'em with a wiffle ball bat (ineffective but fun) or sit back relaxing to the hum-pop-sizzle of the electric bug zapper (effective, but prone to a foul bug-b-que odor).

Well, now both methods have come together in a glorious invention called the Zap-A-Bug, an electrified tennis racket ready to serve up a shock to any would-be biters.

Technically, you're supposed to suppress the bugs and hold the $20 tool still before administering the electricity--that seems to me, if anything, more sadistic--but I doubt many Zap-A-Buggers will be able to resist an overhead smash through a cloud of gnats. Or a bumblebee backhand, for that matter.

Outside of the Everglades, bug season's pretty much over. But I've got two words for you little fellers come next spring.

Advantage: Human.

These things work ok. But you can get a yellow
one at harbor freight for about $2.99 when on sale. Uses 2 D cell batteries and depending on the bug makes a nice snap when it connects with bug.

Physical events such as scoring goals or crossing a line first often define the result of a sport. However the degree of skill in some sports such as diving, dressage and figure skating is judged according to well-defined criteria.
