I wonder if anyone has ever tried to use a can of that ether starting aid... the stuff used to help start a cold diesel engine?!?!? Imagine holding a lighter in front of that bad boy ...
In the old days of butane propellant, Right Guard was good for a shock in a college dorm late at night.

GOOD JOB!!

Trak Auto sells "blast spray" carburetor cleaner. Imagine holding a lighter up to that stuff!

Use of a wasp defrazmylizer as an anti-cretin device takes either an evil mind, a high degree of desperation, or both. Maybe a little bit of both. Here's two bizarre twists for you:
1. My first day in New York City without my parents was December 22, 1984 (New York Freepers should know that date very well).
2. While riding an NJ TRANSIT train home one day a few years ago, I remarked to a friend of mine how disturbed I was that in the event a guy with a gun went on a shooting rampage on the train, there would be no way to stop him until the police were called to the next station. Less than a week later, Colin Ferguson shot all those people on the Long Island Rail Road train.
Pretty creepy, huh?

Brake cleaner is the most flammable liquid I've ever seen. I know someone who melted holes in the side of his old wood-burning stove when he used it to help start a fire inside.

What was Dec. 22? Bernie Goetz?

That's right. 12/22/84.

My brother woke me up once, when we were kids, by igniting some spewing Lysol (pressurized room deodorant in an aerolsol can) over my bed. And it smelled pretty bad too.
It's a wonder any of us survived childhood.

I don't know about December 22, 1984, but my father dated Sharon Tate's cousin (who was really close to her cousin) when I was in college, and we were all invited to visit her in Hollywood. My father had to call it off for a business trip. And yes, that would have been the night Sharon Tate and others were murdered by the Manson gang.

What a scary situation! Another reason for concealed carry although I know that is not allowed in New York.

That is what I was thinking. Do you think it will go back like it used to be there if the DemoRat is elected? What a scary story this is. How can one feel safe anywhere with these religious nuts all over the nation?

My thoughts exactly. Planes, subways, busses. No matter when..no matter where the fanatical murderous Islamic Jihad'ers may strike, we are ready to kick some ass.

50th street! That's my work stop. I work on 52 and b'way! I take that train twice a day. Jeez. I can't imagine. Good job buddy.

"Do I think this guy is a member of al queda ? No, not even they would want an idiot like this."Don't bank on that.
Watched any film out of Pakistan or Afganistan lately?
Next time you do watch, try to look into one of the mob's eyes.
They'd take this one, alright.
...& with open arms.

Wow..another example of the WOT meets the WOD. That's two in two days. Is this a trend?
To: Fujiwara
People do come here and post lies. I happens a lot. It's usually people who have joined very recently. I think all newbees are suspected of being a disrupter. Don't take it personaly. Welcome newbee and glad you stood up.
