The Million Mime March was ignored
The Million Mime March was ignored by the MSM due largely to the lack of sound-bites

Ehm, third?
Has anyone here tried wood bleach on a hardwood floor stain?
It’s not due to large quantities of blood, is it?
(Also, no, but if you do let me know how it comes out as I might want to try that!)
A guy at Lowe’s said it “might” work. There are dark circles on the floor.
They look like they may have been made by potted plants.
Try link behind my name…
I’ll get the ingredients, test a patch and let you know how it goes.
THANK YOU!
This has nothing to do with the picture but THANK YOU!!!!
I tried the shaving cream and mayo trick on the dark spots in my dinning room. (apparently a fish tank used to live there when there was still carpet over the hard wood) It worked like a charm. ^^
Very clever. I hate mimes.
Why the mime-hate? I’d watch a mime… probably even throw a dollar into his tip jar.
Why do people hate clowns? Why does anyone hate anything?
I try to hate Dr. Tinycat, but the kewtness overwhelms me…
Poor Dr. Tinycat.
Because they’re pure evil. John Gacy wasn’t even their king, he was just a clock-puncher of a clown, and look at him! Why don’t you hate anything? I’ll bet you’re a clown.
I’ve always wanted to pantomime putting money in their tip jars.
I have a new mission in life. Thank you herb.
Seconded! Thanks Herb!
I remember favoriting this one when I saw it in voting — it’s one of those odd ones that really cracked me up because the caption was perfect. I don’t much care for mimes, either. They’re a little too close to clowns with the white faces and all. Like monochromatic clowns. And then they don’t talk…at all.
Still, very funny lol!
Speaking of funny lols, your “Seven Minutes in Heaven” kicks patoot!
Thank you! When I saw the news pic that was the first thing that jumped into my head so I had to upload it.
i liked that one a lot too. I voted for it
what is this? a protest, i presume…
Could be an Anonymous march… but they tend to have more V for Vendetta Masks.
I thought that too, but the teardrops make them look too different.
and they’ve lifted their masks… Anonymous usually don’t
I’m fairly sure it’s a students against drunk driving demonstration. They walk around (supposed to be mute, but that’s just not realistic) with white faces and black tears to represent people who have died due to drunk drivers. Groups did it in high school when I went, and would spend the whole week trying to be silent.
Actually, on second thought, I don’t think this many people would run around with signs just to try and get people to not drive under the influence. I’m betting on anti-war protest. Still the same idea, pretending to be dead, and all.
Am I the only one who gets tired of these ‘Down this this sort of thing’ style marches?
As I understand it, there is no better place to score some action than at such an event.
I’m not in the demographic… and the only action I know is scored is drug related.
Children In Need night in the UK is a BIG profits night for the low level pushers…
Nope, although the ones where people pretend to be dead intrigue me for some reason. I guess I’m just morbid.
I actually think it’s a good thing when lots of relatively powerless people organize to protest peacefully, especially if they are very good at the street theater. As long as they avoid violence, I think they generally do more good than harm to society, even if I don’t support every cause.
Maybe it’s just my innate cynicism…
Hey Fest I thought you had a better memory than that.
Well, it’s not like every cause is a good one, but I think that no matter how bad things get, an apathetic and uninvolved citizenry makes it worse. (The converse is not necesarily true.)
Partial memory of a dialogue:
“Where were you last night?”
“Oh, I went to a benefit dinner.”
“Which charity?”
“I think it was for dying something…”
Care fatigue can be worse than apathy.
Did you even get offa your fat @$$ once today, besides to eat?

Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.
And she’s riding uranus like a cowgirl in heat.
Funny you! You m ade a “yeranus” joke!
Make that into a lol and put it up here on the front page! It’s that funny!
Isn’t Uranus the only planet that the axis
of rotation is on the plain of the ecliptic?
When corrected for axial tilt.
Clockwise? The earth rotates clockwise if you look at it from the south end.
There’s no clockwise in the 3D world.
the sun rises in the east, sets in the west… so what she meant was Venus is the only planet that doesn’t rotate widdershins…
“Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you
like the play?” was a proverbial kick in the
widdershins.

[LINK] Million Mime March Website
(I’m not sure this is the same march, but it’s a fun read.)
On April 9th, in New York City they came together. After years of living in solitude and loneliness, they emerged from their invisible box of silence in the hopes of finally experiencing the loving embrace of mainstream society. The Virgin Mobile Switch_Back messaging phone was here. And for the first time in recorded history, people everywhere can talk to Mimes. And as the Mimes marched, the streets were filled with an intoxicating sense of hope that one day, the Mime could live among us as an equal. As a friend. But technology can only provide the tools for acceptance. And while the Mime March of Silence has cast the first stone into the vast sea of change, we must extend our collective hand and allow that tiny ripple to form a tidal wave of unity that will wash over us all. Only then can we truly bridge the gap between Man and Mime.
“On April 9th, in New York City they came together. After years of living in solitude and loneliness, they emerged from their invisible box of silence”
`
Not only that, but they had to walk against the wind all the way there.
and in and out of cellars, in all probability…
The best mime I ever saw was in Paris, just near the Centre Pompidou. He mimed getting beaten up by three invisible assailants, in slow motion. When he was on the ground getting a kicking, it was quite disturbing… only time I’ve ever put money in a street performer’s begging bowl that wasn’t for a musical performance…
i think you just got off on the vision of a mime being beaten. how often while watching did you picture yourself as the assailant? come on, tell the truth
Never! Viiiioooolence is never the answer! At least that’s what the folks on the left uasually say, right!
Left-right pun!
:lol!
Unless I’m being paid to, why on earth would I think of doing that?
He wasn’t a white face mime…
Unless my knowledge of bone structures was off that day, I think the lad was of Kurdish descent…
I think this one’s been cooked too long, Iowa – he’s getting soft.
I said I wasn’t getting paid for him… what do you want? Feebies, you commie?
Is that an offer?
Aedriel is kinky. she’s into rhubarb bondage, just an fyi
she does prefer it stiff, but i think she might see limp rhubarb as ‘a challenge’ rather than a problem
i do feel the need to ask:
so, you would consider beating a white-faced mime?
.
the lad potentially being of kurdish descent is pertinent how?
Yes…
and it was just narrative colour… I didn’t know Kurds did mime… especially mime that was that good… it was like watching an evidence tape in slo-mo
Kurds may not do mime, but there’s nothing you can teach a Kurd about beating!
Nor being gassed
I always run out of change at the fringe and end up putting Werther’s originals in the begging bowls…
It’s the creepy factor.

We’re expecting snow, and the country is running out of road salt…
at least you can use road salt, they won’t in montana so the roads get gravel stuff, unfortunately it nearly always refreezes and you get dirty ice.
Oh noes, NOT dirty ice! The rest of the world is falling to shite, and your big worry is dirty ice!
!!!!!
and that’s simply dangerous… looks like road, handles like ice…
Looking outside, I expect it to start snowing any moment here…
We usually get snow once a year here, but it doesn’t usually “stick.” This winter
has been unbelievably mild. I’ve never had to mow this early. (I use a push
reel mower, so my back is reminding me that I’ve been lazy at the gym lately.)
I’ll swap you a snow shovel for the reel mower! My shoveling muscles are getting tired, and I doubt we are done with snow…
I’m not sure the push reel would help with the snow, and I can’t think of
a use for a snow shovel around here. I’m about to put in a new bed, so
I’ll have enough “real” shovel injuries soon, besides. How about we both
keep our torturous devices to ourselves, and commiserate, instead?
Oh all right. But I was hoping to use a different muscle group. Of course today it decided to be 50 degrees, and so we are having a melt with an attitude! (falling icicles, snow sliding off of roofs and taking downspouts with, etc).
Here’s a fun *link* …
And they have mugs!
Great link, but $15+s/h for a coffee cup??? I’m in the wrong business!
Yup! YOu must have had an epihany there! Sitting on your @$$ surfing the internet 12+ hours a day is definitely the wrong business if you want to actually make money and accomoplish something!
It’s not that extortionate for a ‘cafepress’ type product…
Mild winter… this is practically summer weather. I’ve been leaving my door open during the day so my cats can wander freely. I normally wouldn’t let them outside, but one’s a cryptorchid so he’s hormonally fscked and pees on things if he doesn’t get to go out
today it’s around 75F… good picnicking weather.
PK broke, nesting fail.
It’s better than spring, because the bugs aren’t awake…yet.

Thanks for they eye twitch.
Okay, how bad is this stuff? Wiki says it’s a stable solvent with debatable
nutrition value.
There are times Wiki accepts a drug company science a little too readily.
Some of us remember Vioxx
At least in the states, that’s because the FDA is owned by the
drug industry.
you wouldn’t say that if you’d ever worked in pharma
Depends on the pharma…
i think that misconception comes from the FDA being understaffed and at times, unqualified. and of course the biggest part of the problem is that there are still people involved. people sometimes have personal agendas and have a way of interpreting data in a way that might serve to ‘enhance’ their pocketbook.
i’ve been down on the pharm, but i’ve never seen paree
Sorry, but this seems incredibly naive to me.
It’s akin to Cheney and Halliburton.
You’ve been reading too many tabloids.
They both swear they’re just really-really
good friends.
well you make a statement like:
which is incredibly conspiratorial and take my very simplistic explanation and label it naive? ok.
they are not ‘owned’ by pharma. it’s more likely that what you’ve seen has been due to gross incompetence, conflict of interest and laziness.
You’re right. I was using hyperbole. But the
history of conflict of interest is so extensive
and ongoing and covered up that I am
outraged. And it shows. Pleh.
The effect is the same… I tend to follow the money… and a lot of junk science comes from Pharma…
I agree with the conflict of interest 100%
for example. when you have people making decisions on drugs, who sit on the boards of companies with competing products, that’s a huge problem.
-
too fester, i don’t think it’s as much junk science as it is marketing ie hey, we’ve got this great compound, let’s come up with a ‘condition’ we can use to sell it
-
the science is usually pretty good, it’s the greed and the marketing that cause the problems
Ok now I know from the inside that the data
is abused to a pulp. It’s junkier than junky
junk.
also from ‘the inside’
we always adhered to cGMP/GLP. if you didn’t you were gone.
-
maybe we were rare in the industry, but i’d like to think we weren’t
*did I really type ‘too fester’? arrgh
It gets to me that the sick and elderly bear
most of the burden of high drug prices. The
drug companies all blame the high cost of
R&D, but what about all of the lobbyists?
[LINK] Article about drug lobbyists
@PP: How much would you guess Lilly spent
per doctor’s office per year? Years ago, I
remember a friend who worked for Upjohn
signed his “best” doctors up to attend a free
CME seminar in Honolulu once. I’m not sure
they are still allowed to do that sort of thing,
though. IIRC, the doctors went courtesy of
Upjohn, with a nominal fee for their families.
Vioxx was ‘marketing’ sold as ’science’, I see…
It’s like selling horse crap as fillet mignon…
you’re right, lobbying is a huge issue in all industries and government. it’s probably the biggest problem when it comes to safety and efficacy of any product/service.
-
a single drug can take 10+ years to develop, then another 5-10 years of clinical trials. all of that can cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
after doing all of that, the drug might not sell and the company and the funders will lose all that money. If the drug is pulled from R&D after 5 years of testing or trials, the company is still going to lose, but not as much. if the company does make it to market and sells well, you’re paying not only for all of that, but also for the drugs that failed to make it to market or didn’t sell well.
I understand the time and money… I don’t forgive burying the negative results.
.
no it’s not about lying about what the drug is or can do, it’s more like selling horse crap as a nighttime sunscreen. it really will block out the suns rays, but, you don’t really need it. that’s where the marketing comes in, convincing people that they need it. the efficacy is there and can be demonstrated by good science. the safety should be there and should be demonstrable, but unfortunately, sometimes problems don’t show up for 50 years and you can’t run clinical trials for that long. also, yes, sometimes people ‘hide’ safety issue data. those people should all be in prisons, instead we send them to DC.
I’ve heard that doctors hate the “ask your
doctor” commercials. I hate the new names
for conditions, like “acid-reflux” for plain old
heartburn. Another thing drug marketers
have done is convince everyone that they
have migraines, when all they have are
headaches, just to sell a different pill.
yup and the list goes on.
yeah i’d think the doctors would hate them.
.
patient: i wanna ask you about condition x
doctor: you don’t have it
patient: are you sure?
doctor: yes
patient: but i get tired at night, hungry in the morning and i can’t see too well in the dark
doctor: it only affects middle-eastern female dwarfs who eat a lot of lamb. you’re male, 6′3, norwegian and a vegan
patient: but my mother was kinda short
Hehe. Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head there. (Another Swedish saying directly translated – I am doing a theme this week. ;p)
.
And the worst thing is you get the “boy who cried ‘wolf’” problem, so that some doctors will refuse to agree to any form of diagnosis that the patients themselves suggest. Happened to me a year ago. After telling the doctor “I think I might have ***”, I noticed she did everything to disprove me. (I ended up being right, and a week later someone who listened to me sent me to the hospital and I ended up having to stay there for a week, in rather bad shape. :p)
@ Danbala: I’m sorry to hear about your
trouble getting diagnosed properly in better
time!
“Hit the nail on the head” is a common
saying in the U.S., too. I’m sorry, but this
time you didn’t get exotic on us. :p
i’ve had the same experience with doctors. i’ve usually attributed it simply to their arrogance.
.
if you’re going to be a doctor, you need to be good at problem solving. i’ve had doctors who assume you’re lying no matter what you tell them. i’ve had them come right out and tell me i’m lying, then when they finally figure out that i was right, no appology, just ‘oh, ok it is x’.
.
others assume you’re there to get drugs (abusable drugs), even when you tell them you don’t want those and to find a different solution. They lose their problem solving skills (if they had them to begin with) and they suck as diagnosticians.
.
if i don’t have a good doctor at the time, i usually give up and live with whatever is going on. i’m really glad to hear you pursued it and got it taken care of. it can be tough be to stubborn when they’re all telling you you’re wrong.
@rhorho:
“Hit the nail on the head” is a common saying in the U.S., too. I’m sorry, but this time you didn’t get exotic on us. :p
.
Ah. Now that you say that, I realise I that I actually knew that!
.
So. Apropos sayings, there is a good Swedish one that I just don’t have a similar English saying to translate to. The Swedish one is “som man ropar får man svar”, which would be literally translated to “as you call it, you will get a response”. The meaning is along the lines of “the tone of the answer you get will depend on the tone in your question/statement”. Is there any saying that in English that does this?
.
(On the Internet I often feel the urge to use it – it’s quite common to see really intelligent posts here, for instance, thrashed by the choice of words and the attitude in them.)
i’ve had the same experience with doctors. i’ve usually attributed it simply to their arrogance.
Yeah, some doctors are arseholes, for sure.
’m really glad to hear you pursued it and got it taken care of. it can be tough be to stubborn when they’re all telling you you’re wrong.
Fortunately, the first person to geive me a diagnosis was my brother. In fact, it happened during a weekend when we went up to visit him to attend his graduation ceremonies for his MD. Due to him being so new as a doctor, he’s still doing the kind of doctor-bit where he can only give medication and ofoocial diagnoses to patients at the hospital where he’s working, but I trusted his call on my issues. That helped with my pursuit of medical help.
OFOOCIAL!?
I am better than Dubya at inventing words!
I did mean “official”.
:blush:
There is probably a better one, but, off hand,
the only one that comes to mind is “You get
what you give.”
You probably have the saying “You catch
more flies with honey than you do with
vinegar,” but that’s not getting at it very
well, either.
I’ll post again if I think of something, but
maybe someone else will know a better
one. It’s never a good idea to wait for me
to have an idea…
i was thinking ‘you reap what you sow’, but it’s still not quite the same. or at least it’s not used in the same way.
@Iowa:
others assume you’re there to get drugs (abusable drugs), even when you tell them you don’t want those and to find a different solution.
One time I went to a doctor *for drugs.* My
arm hurt from a softball injury, and I was
tired of taking analgesics all the time. She
insisted on taking x-rays, so I went along,
thinking “yeah, whatever, it’s your racket to
build up the bill to the insurance company.”
Turns out I had been living with a broken
arm for four days. *sigh*
hehe, i’ve had similar things happen. i’m usually happy when they want to do the tests. (even though some aren’t too fun, at least they’re looking)
.
i knew one doctor everyone loved because she handed out drugs like they were candy. she couldn’t diagnose a hangnail, but she’d write you a script.
.
for me, the best painkiller is an anti-inflamatory. opiates do nothing for me.
I have a high pain tolerance and a low drug
tolerance, along with an allergy to opiates.
I took Darvocette once. I called my boss to
tell him I wouldn’t be coming in, and he
answered, “Uh, you already called me a few
minutes ago.” LOL!
Ah drugs. Opioid allergy is quite common actually.
I’m sorry, I should have said “a common side effect of opioid therapy is itchiness” It’s not a true allergic reaction.. [LINK]
I have a high pain tolerance and an extremely high drug tolerance. So high it takes the doctors by surprise, like when they can’t knock me out for a procedure. Or when I keep waking up during said procedure. Good thing I have a high pain tolerance. I usually just tell them don’t mind me, just keep going.
@Charro: Thanks for the link! It’s weird,
though, because I had severe itching from
head to toe, but I also threw up, then dry
heaved until the stuff wore off. Nausea isn’t
even listed on the chart.
@rho: I threw up too when I was given demerol (meperidine) but they were expecting that and had a little vomit catching tray for me.
I’ve also thrown up from taking vicondin and percocets.
even though some aren’t too fun, at least they’re looking
hear, hear. I had to go through colonoscopy, gastroscopy, mammography and an unusually prodding gynaecology examination. As immensely unpleasant as they all were, I would have been far, far more troubled if they hadn’t tried to find the cause of my ailment. They still didn’t manage to figure out why what happened to me happened. One of the most important words my brother has taught me is “idiopathic”, which he describes as “the fancy term for ‘we know bugger all’”. So it’s all still a mystery but at least they eliminated some of the nastiy explanations.
…and why, oh why, is it so oddly appealing to discuss one’s medical adventures?
@Iowa: Tell them to try ketamine next time
hehe, I was going to leave this alone, but since you put it that way:
i’ve been filled to bloating from both ends with liquids (not sure you can call some of what i drank a ‘liquid’) and gases
i’ve been injected with radioactive gallium
had bone marrow taken out
i’ve had more blood drawn than GW (although unlike him, not all at once, so I didn’t die from it)
also had the colonoscopy
luckily, most of what i’ve had done has been non-invasive
(i occasionally miss one char from my email, which results in the pic above)
@charro
i tried k recreationally – nada
i tried meth recreationally – nada
thc does affect me, but for me, has side affects that are unique
pentathol does work (so do other barbs like pheno), but it takes a lot to get me there, that’s why i keep waking up
@Iowa: Was it powder or an unbroken vial? Did you snort it or inject it? THe ketamine?
Minus the question mark thing at the end of “ketamine”.
@Iowa: Next time, you could get them to use
a mallot. I’ve seen a lot of cartoons, and it
never fails. All you get is a 10″ lump,
but it only lasts until the next scene…
@charro
powder both times. snorted once, smoked once on a joint like we used to do with dust as a kid.
.
the meth was also smoked (crystal) the one time i tried it.
.
if you’re going where i think you are, you may be right that the liquid injected could actually have an effect. i may never know.
@Charro: I’ve posted two messages, but
they both got eated. THANK YOU!!
@rhorho
hehe, i know, not only have i thought about it, i’ve actually suggested it to doctors.
the nice thing about that lump is that even though it’s like 10″ high like you said, you can push it down with one finger and it’s good as new!
but i think you have to make sure the doc is using a genuine
Acme mallet.
hehe! You know your medicine! I forgot to
mention the finger lump compacting trick!
Have you seen this [LINK] before? Someone
(diss?) posted it here, but it has been a while.
@rhorho
no, i haven’t seen that before. very good. i wonder if any of my lawyer friends had to study this case?
@Iowa: I was more going for “that may not have been just k you were doing, it could have had fillers in it”.
But yeah injecting it might do something.
I’m not suggesting you do it, I was just kinda curious. I try to not go around telling people to do drugs. Try.
@rho: You are most welcome. Here to help.
@charro
you’re right, that’s a possibility. my friends were quite used to doing k so i’m guessing it was at least what they were used to. doesn’t matter, i just have this strange reaction to a lot of drugs. Well, strange = none/severely diminished..
That’s sad to me. There are many wonderful experiences out there to be had at the hands of drugs. Not that you should do them….
Yup. Eli Lilly.
I was just reading that Fen-Phen, a long-since-banned diet drug,
is causing PPH in people today, 10 years after taking it.
[LINK]
don’t worry about it
you should be far more concerned with DHMO [link] than MSM.
Anything that leaves a nasty taste at the back of the mouth and is really only a painkiller used on horses and is pretty easily contaminated isn’t the same thing.
I figured out you were thinking DMSO here since we were just talking about MSM
That’s why I didn’t respond to this. I didn’t want to spoil the fun.
that’s because you’re a sadist
and the problem with that would be….
I was impressed… not a blink!
or maybe i should say, ‘what? you think you’re the only one here?’
I can only seem to be mean to people I don’t like. I mean, unless you’re into that sort of thing… in which case the safe word is “rhubarb.”
oh, i’m into all kinds of things.
do you know how much damage we could do to each
other in an hour?
[link]
oops – [link] re: rhubarb
An hour? What are you, some kind of sissy?
It’s my favorite line from the really bad movie ‘Some Kind of Wonderful’
.
.
Ray: So you gotta hang around for an hour?
Watts: If I feel like it.
Ray: You know how much damage we could do to each other in an hour?
Watts: It’s kind of a revolting thought, actually.
Ray: Really? What’s revolting mean?
Watts: Oh, God. Get your hands off me, man.
Ray: Does that mean you wanna come over?
.
.
.
and for the record, i’m just getting warmed up after an hour…
(we are talking about cooking aren’t we? i mean, you did mention rhubarb. and i do have to make one correction. you said that rhubarb was the safe word, when actually only the stalks are safe to eat. the leaves aren’t, so maybe you want to use broccoli instead. it’s safer).
Yeah, and who wants to cook rhubarb (stalks
or otherwise) for more than an hour?
I do! You’re so mean, Rho! Just because I like to, er… cook for more than an hour doesn’t make me less of a person! *pouts*
I’m sorry for being mean, Aedriel.
It’s just that…uh…rhubarb tends to go
rather limp after an hour. It’s a matter of
preference, though, and I was wrong to
judge.
LOL! Apology accepted. You know, some rhubarb holds up really well, and some doesn’t. I’m still trying to figure out what exactly causes that phenomenon…
I’m not sure this is helpful, but I’m thinking
it’s possible to stir it too much…
I wasn’t sure, I thought maybe I had the heat on too high, but you could be right.
Where’s DWN when you need him? …He just strikes me as someone who’d be an expert on the subject.
oh sure, blame the rhubarb! it’s always the rhubarbs fault isn’t it.
you know, maybe if you dressed it up once in a while. maybe if you were creative enough to mix it up in the kitchen it wouldn’t go limp on you so fast. did yo uever think of that?
.
but no, with you it’s always the same bland rhubarb crisp every time.
try adding a little spice once in a while. you might like the results.
He doesn’t post very often on weekends, but,
in his absence, I guess it would be remiss of
me not to suggest adding ginger to the…uh
cooking, though it may be of better
use as a…uh garnish.
Typical rhubarb, always going on the offensive when I didn’t even blame it…
Don’t worry, Aedriel. There are plenty of
rhubarbs in the produce section.
Should I use… pickled ginger? Or sliced, maybe?
Ah–Good question. I’m not sure pickled
ginger would work with most rhubarb. It
may depend on the age or the size of the
rhubarb, but I would stay away from the
wasabi, no matter what.
Luckily, according to the list in your link, I’m not currently doing
anything that would involve DHMO, though but have used some
pretty raucous and/or vile pesticides in the past.
How did you come about such mad chemical-knowing skills?
I’ve found knowledge of chemicals in general to be handy, and anything that can help in soft tissue regeneration specifically, with the amount of damage I’ve had down the years… and one does pick up things like DHMO, that you can use to get toxins that aren’t skin permeable through the skin… also stuff that can make a loud bang from the kitchen cabinets or a visit to a pharmacy and a garden centre…
I used a lot of pesticides “back in the day,” but have since
made good use of some home recipes, and have been
using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies
successfully for about four years now. I have probably
saved about $50/year, to boot. Systemic pesticides and
combo-formulas (e.g. pesticide-fungicide-miticide) should
be outlawed, imo.
do you eat dairy? [link]
.
i’ve always been a fan of chemicals
Organic source… but even then the stuff that’s just in
drinking water these days would frighten most people…
Actually, DHMO is in ALL drinking water.
doesn’t matter. i promise you that DHMO is in organic dairy as well. you’re aloso going to find it in many other processed foods.
.
in today’s world, it’s nearly impossible to avoid.
.
the thing that worries me most about drinking water is the hormones that have leached into it. i’ve lived in places with great quality tap water and placces with really bad tap water. filters help, but only so much.
Yup…
Thanks to your article, I’m now *happily* lactose
intolerant.
I like some chemicals more than others. One of my favo-
rites is trimethylxanthine.
if you want to avoid DHMO, you’re going to have to do a lot more than that, trust me, it’s everywhere.
i don’t think I could live without trimethylxanthine. i’m sure i could, but i don’t want to.
of course friends of mine swear by tetrahydrocannabinol
i’ll admit the occasional indulgence, and i do inhale
Like, dessicate yourself!
i kept wanting to say shaaaaduuuuupppp!
but didn’t want to draw attention to your posts
*shrugs* Their fault they didn’t listen.
Failure to inhale would be silly, if one were so
With DHMO, as with other things, I don’t
inclined.
want to turn into a walking panic attack. If one eats
enough whole foods, and enough variety, there
shouldn’t be too much to worry about, save the
occasional e-coli and salmonella scares.
Look at it this way Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream contains more PCBs and Dioxins than they allow in the packaging…

I never have trusted those two…
This is getting painful, I’m really sorry, but
Carbon Dioxide = CO2, therefore Dihydrogen Monoxide would be (for the conspiracy fans)
REEEEETARRRDDDSSS >>>>>>!!!!!
Everyone knows that but thise bunch of idiots!
Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas, and in its solid state can cause really severe tissue necrosis! Necrosis is bad! It should be banned immediately!
All those in favor of banning necrosis, and
all necrotic tissue, say aye!
You know what I meant
But yes! We must ban necrosis! BRING OUT THE MAGGOTS!
Uh…I think it was a little too early to mention
maggots. The Marketing guys will probably
want to have a word with you on that one,
sadly.
What?! That’s the best way to get rid of necrosis! They’re so neat and clean about it!
Maggots never hurt anyone…
You mean they don’t use maggots on badly necrotic wounds in the US?
and don’t forget leeches on stubborn skin grafts…
I agree with you. I’ve tried to make pets out
of them, but they keep disappearing. You
don’t think…
*hatches maggot thief conspiracy theory*
Actually I think standard procedure over here is amputation, just because people have some sort of naive animosity towards maggots. It’s the new racism.
Of course they use maggots on dead things. Look at the politicla sysetem!
HAAHAHA!
@Unc & Aedriel: According to the linked
article, the FDA approved the use of
maggots and leeches in medicine in 2004.
Cool… Not even the US could be that backward…
The use of maggots as therapy is way older than the FDA and peopel have ben going to Europe for agest to get it.
See I can link to!!!
FAIL and more FAIL!
TBH, the use of maggots goes back centuries…
IIRC there are 11th C monastic texts that utilise maggots, honey and thick, clean cobweb for stubborn wounds and ulcers…
According to the article I attached earlier,
leeches were used “from Hippocrates’ time
through the mid-19th century.” IIRC,
George Washington was technically bled to
death by leeches, in an effort to rid his body
of “bad blood.”
Leeches are properly only good for braking blood clots…
The concept of bad blood letting and the like is up there with trpanning for migraines (Classical, with vision distortion and vomiting)
@fester
oh please, you misunderestimate us.
Swiped from interwebs:
“Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was a major figure in colonial American medicine and was an important proponent of bleeding, though unfortunately he mistakenly thought that the body held 12 instead of 6 quarts. Shortly before his death, George Washington was bled 4 quarts in 24 hours for an infected throat and died not long after.”
@fester
the two best things for migraines: caffeine and nicotine.
unfortunately, i don’t smoke anymore but i do still use the caffein.
.
the very first migraine drug i took was cafergot. it included 100mg caffeine per pill and if i remember, i popped 3 at a time.
Its twue, cuz i readed it on the interwebbies!
@Iowa: Unc misunderestimates us, and
those Afghan fighters have no disregard for
human life.
@rhorho
cool, i didn’t know that about GW or Dr. Benjamin Rush
I remember reading that George Washington
was leeched to death, but was surprised to
discover that his doctor signed the DoI.
D’OH!
I was reading it DMSO… Dimethyl sulfoxide…
it gets into milk and stuff since it’s used to treat
inflammatory conditions in large mammals.
Isn’t… DMSO the same as MSM? methylsulfonylmethane…
dimethylsul.. oh fsck it I’m done with all my organic chems anyway.
Whiny liberal retards can’t even admit they were PWNED by someone smarter than them … OOOOO I read it wroong ….. here’s a link where it actually happpened …… It was this or that chemical …..
Unbelieveable!
I thought you were going along with the
joke, Unc. You’ve been resisting glasses for
*how* long now???
Too long…
someone always has to spoil the fun. gotta prove that you weren’t fooled
Aedriel kept trying, but no one was paying attention
It made me sad
I was trying to tell them without ruining the whole thing like this jagoff…
@Aedriel
i know. you were giving nice subtle hints. nudges, if you will, in the right direction.
Oh, goodness.
*sigh*
Yes, water toxicity is a huge problem.
[LINK] article re deadly water intoxication incident
Yeah I know all about it
just proof that DHMO is toxic.
Amen, Sistah!
I really should read what’s said, and not assume it’s about joint pain when we were talking about MSM…[link]
MSM supps often comes from chicken connective tissue…
Chicken. Why did it have to be chicken?
And sheep, cow, pig…
Well, at least I have these green organic wafers. Whew!
do you really want to know what’s in those?
The green colour causes cancer…
For some reason, the store didn’t have any made with
Red Dye #2.
*sigh* Valentine’s Day won’t be the same…
that was me, i guess i screwed up the email
You could use an avatar. Might I suggest the one I’ve
linked?
whew, for a second there, i thought you’d figured me out…
no, i’m not a sock, but i could be a glove
.
very nice avatar btw
I swiped it off the interwebs, so by all means,
use it, if you’re so declined.
how many webs are there in an interwebs?
is it the same number of nets in an internets?
where do the ‘tubes’ come into play?
I think the tubes are only in Alaska, but they
may be down for 6 months to 5 years.
aargh, I always fail when it comes to responding to the last item on the page. the above was to Martha of course.
.
it also stands for ‘Molting Spaghetti Monster’, since at that time of year, our god can’t fly until he finishes the molting.
Thank you all. Main Steam Media certainly sounds right in context, rhorho.
Though Methylsulfonylmethane might make yer arthuritis feel better after a long march.
Only really seen it work in conjunction with Chondroitin and vegetal silica
Hehe. “Main Steam Media”. Lots of hot air, eh? I like it better than “stream”.
good catch
i like that.
Bless his Noodly Appendage.
Isn’t this a protest against Guantanamo Bay or something? I remember seeing a similar picture.
Those aren’t mimes, it’s an army of hat-less bucketheads! >:O
You thought so, too?
I’m torn between a KKK joke and a whipped cream joke. Yeah, let’s go with “I brought the KY, who’s got the whipped cream,” I prefer “haha” funny (or close) to “kick his ass” funny
Hmmm….. 200+ comments and no one mentions that red head on the lower right who ISN’T wearing her “mime face”? nonconformist hussy…….
I noticed that too…Was also bothered by the fact that she’s SMILING when surrounded by a bunch of nonsmiley masked people.
WTF.
ANONYMOUS STRIKES AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Looks like Hollywood Undead fans to me.
