Could be. I was sitting on the carpet. I've never seen anything like it before or since, though.

When I was a kid, a friend of mine gifted me an off-brand Super Nintendo controller to me for my birthday. I used it for all of about 5 minutes before it shocked the shit out of my hand and then never worked again.

I'm at a loss.

Tim Walz is great, but I do want to make it clear that the 4th statement is factually inaccurate. Command Sergeant Major is an enlisted rank, not an officer rank.
