Actually, I don't think that it is quite as bad as methanol

Many moons ago, I convinced one of my workmates that I was an ex-navy SEAL. I'm not sure why he believed me, espec since I was wearing an army-surplus army hat and jacket. The reason I was so skinny, of course, was due to my having appendicitus(sp?) and being laid up in the hospital so long I lost a lot of weight. As you are probably well aware, the secret signal of navy SEALs is to cross your hands and make a barking sound like a seal.Originally posted by Lonestar
If I were to say "What rate are you?" the sailor I am asking would say "Yeoman/Gunnersmate/I'm a dumb**** undesignated deck seaman".
"SEAL" is not a rate.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

Reminds me of the Roseanne episode where she takes her daughters class to the supermarket and ends up riffing on people's groceries.

You are correct sir!Originally posted by Krill

While small quantities (~ 15 g) of isopropanol can be fatal if left untreated, it is not nearly as toxic as methanol or ethylene glycol.[6]

Still, I'd have to guess that a whole 1-pintish bottle would put you six feet under if you don't call an ambulance in time.Comment

ugh, considering that in 1 liter there is 50 times the lethal dose, yeah, I think drinking it is a bad idea...You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.Comment

Incidentally just this morning I heard a Phil Hendrie gag where his "guest" was the owner of a "family" grocery store and felt obligated to give customers the third degree about suspicious buys, such as a 18-year-old girl "dressed up for the night" and buying only a cucumber, or two flamboyant thirtysomething males buying only a gallon can of Crisco lard.Originally posted by Rufus T.

As always the callers bought it hook, line, and sinker.

And you railed on me for not turning myself in for ramming an old whore with my car? You're a murderer and if this were 50 years ago you would be in front of a firing squad.

Murderer? An omission to act is only criminally liable if there is a legal duty to act.
Since when was there a legal duty to prevent Darwin Award winners from acheiving their purpose?Comment

Huh. Well, I don't know much about the Navy except that you guys are on boats, and that President Carter was a submariner. Or boomer. There's some nickname that goes with that.
But that's one reason why they bucked the trend of naming carriers after Presidents, and named a submarine after him instead.B♭3Comment

Why does it bother you that people talk about things that interest them?Originally posted by Asher
I wonder if you realize the fact that you spent a bunch of time on a boat is not that interesting. Yet you discuss it a lot.
Why?

That would mean something if you could comprehend what you just said."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
