    I was always taught that pipe snakes that *foamed* needed to take a trip to the clinic...

    Well, given that their slogan is 'Destroy The Clog You Hate', that might make your passion a lethal weapon - which is a bit of a relationship (and partner) killer, no?

    You're talking about the Y chromosome, i would say you are simply HUMAN...
  • KK · 3 months ago
    back in the day, they would run a hot copper wire down it to stop the foaming.


    Doesn't sound pretty, does it?



    But yes, you were right in your observations!

    Sophomoric?


    As if there is something wrong with sophomoric?



    People ask me why I only list some college. Do you really think I could stop being sophomoric? I already have gone way past Blutarsky's, Seven years of college down the drain. And there is no Peace Corps in my future.

    I'm a girl, and that stuff STILL occurs to me. I wouldn't feel too bad.

    The best time I ever had was the 5 yrs I worked in warehouse full of Y and I was the only female.
    I felt like Jane Goodall on an expedition.

    Maeve,


    Would the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle apply? (related to the Observer effect)

    Corrosive foam that's dangerous to ingest, no less.

    "Corrosive foam that's dangerous to ingest, no less."


    Suuuuuuure, any excuse not to swallow...
  • Sewmouse · 3 months ago
    If swallowed, drink a full glass of water. Do not induce vomiting. In all cases, call a doctor or poison control center.




    And y'all wonder why we wimmen don't all jump on the "BJ" bandwagon?

    Even though complaints from chronic pain patients are easier to diagnose and document we now have created a situation where doctors are under-prescribing out of fear, especially if their patient are in their last stages of life because the docs can be charged with murder if autopsies shows high traces of pain medication, this indicated findrxonline in article. I pray this madness comes to an end and I sincerely hope none of you will ever be dying in extreme pain in a hospital, nursing home or maybe at your own house while the doctor is afraid to give you that prescription or injection during your last moments. Yes, definitely keep this medication away from kids but do make it available to those who can benefit from it!

    Considering the direction this discussion has taken, "Argentina"'s comment is really funny, even if it really is spam.


    WV - colog. Hmm. A clog of the colon? Ooh. Bad. Very bad.

    First thought: 'Band name!'


    Second thought: 'Yeah, great way to get sued.'



    Third though: 'But it'd be publicity ...'



    Damn, it's been a long day.



    WV: alsivi. What did he blow up?
  • Rogue Medic · 3 months ago
    jbrock,


    Your thought on the publicity from being sued. A friend of mine started a band called IBM. We were not far from their international headquarters. Nobody wanted to get involved in that story. It was almost 30 years ago, so publicity has changed somewhat, as Cycles & More will point out (in their own illiterate fashion). ;-)



    Is that J Brock or JB ROCK?

    The pains are sometimes reflected as something very badly; this is a warning of some ailment which we pruned to suffer. Sometimes we feel a pain in the waist and one in one of the kidneys which we can worry about. These pains are deceptive and sometimes the importance is not relevant. For this reason it is recommendable to get a physical control to recognize the ailment that causes the pain and power and to fight its origin. The pain in the waist, that can be acute or long lasting can return as chronic and is know to medics as lumbar pain. This is a disease that strikes millions of people throughout the world; findrxonline and said that according to statistics 70% of people who have suffered at some point in their life.

    It's J. Brock ... but either one would work in some context.



    The name of my actual band is Flight 19--still in debatable taste, but at least a little more subtle. And what the hell; we are in the Bahamas ...



    WV: snestecu. Huh? I thought the Romanian peasantry dealt with him decisively years ago.

    jbrock,

    All taste is debatable.



    Of course, in EMS, if we don't offend someone, we just aren't doing our job. ;-)
