For some odd reason evertime I hear the mention of those Oklihoma wild fires in the news I picture Stingray with his new hat on, fighting the fire away from his house using his trebuchet and water ballons.........

ChadTower · « **Reply #1 on:** January 03, 2006, 10:19:39 am »

Duh. He's not flinging water at the fire. He's flinging fire at the water.

what the hell was I thinking..........

DrewKaree · « **Reply #3 on:** January 03, 2006, 10:22:58 am »

He lives too far away from anywhere that should be burned down. The fire would have to commute in by him.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #4 on:** January 03, 2006, 10:31:52 am »

Oklihoma can't be as big as they show it on the map... I thought there was only a dozen houses in that state....

ChadTower · « **Reply #5 on:** January 03, 2006, 10:33:15 am »

That's why Stingray's net connection is so slow... packets are sent from router to router by trebuchet.

Seems like he put up a dress code and started doing the cover charge thing just now

Stingray · « **Reply #8 on:** January 03, 2006, 10:46:56 am »

Smoke was so thick day before yesterday that you could only see a few yards. Seems like the whole state was on fire. Our worthless governor finally issued a burn ban. Way to slam that barn door after the horses are already gone.

The problem isn't the fire, it's Oklahoman society. The fire has been made to feel excluded and repressed for too long. The fire has been made to feel disenfranchised. If Oklahoman society would simply open its arms to the fire, to give the fire a chance, the fire would feel better.

The water was dumped into a sewer and the cans sent for recycling.

Yes, let's save thousands of unlabeled, expired cans of liquid and then hand them out at a later date.

Actually I didn't mean to quote you at all. Or maybe I did, but then changed my mind. In any case, two facts remain. The fires are Bush's fault, and that asian chick on battlestar galactica is hot.

Yes, then later on assume liability that they relabeled cans.

It all sounds simple, but in reality, when everyone is constantly looking for a reason to point fingers, this was the only thing that could have been done with it.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #34 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:24:13 pm »

they still could have thrown it on the fire

ChadTower · « **Reply #35 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:25:06 pm »

Sure, if they want to hire someone to open a million 12 ounce cans.

EDIT: okay, I just almost wet myself with this mental image:

Handing Stingray 150,000 cans marked BEER in black marker... and having him open them one by one, tasting each one, and going "damn that's water too" before throwing it into the fire...

...then at the end someone coming up and saying "where's all my Budweiser?"

missioncontrol · « **Reply #36 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:28:43 pm »

drop the bottles and all....

The heat will rupture the bottles if the fall doesn't and Stingray has allready mentioned he's never been to a landfill, it could be a FEMA BYOlandfill operation in Oklahoma........

Even soda in a can has a pretty good shelf life, and that stuff is full of phosphoric acid... The aluminum cans you and I are used to have plastic linings to prevent problems with the acid eroding the aluminum.

not in the US... here, millions of tons of good food are thrown away because of liability suits. I worked in food service all through high school and we threw out obscene amounts of food every night. The reason was that if you donate food to a place like a homeless shelter, and then someone gets sick off of it, you will be sued out the arsehole.

No good deed goes unpunished in the US.

Yup - but don't do anything to intentionally contaminate it - toss bleach on it to keep people from rummaging and you'll get sued for poisoning someone.

ChadTower · « **Reply #48 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:51:31 pm »

Pretty much... if you donate it you get sued.

If you throw it away you get people rummaging through your dumpster who make a mess, cause problems with the board of health, and sue you if they hurt themself.

If you throw it away and contaminate it you get sued by the people rummaging through your dumpster who make a mess, cause problems with the board of health, and then poison themself.
