Let's start a rumour. I heard that if you make a paste of Tang, baking soda and water, and cover your windows with it, it will block cellphone signals.

I heard that if you eat the tape from a cassette tape you'll get high.

And my sister's friend told her that if you wash your hair with pineapple juice for a month you'll get a really great natural perm.

Indeed. He took it too far, and had his collarbone surgically popped. Imagine going to a party with that, bucko...

Well, we know the president started drinking again about a year ago; I hear he's renounced the Born-Again Christ and is holding Black Mass in the Oval Office even as we speak.

Peak oil came and went in July of 1953. The final barrel of real oil was pumped out in 1971. Since then, all gas engines have been running on 100% ethanol, colored and scented to seem just like gasoline. So-called farm subsidies, where farmers supposedly get paid "to grow nothing" are actually payments for raw materials. The auto industry has threatened to go public with the change over unless certain expenses are covered by the government, which is why we will have nationalized healthcare in the US by 2009.

PST, I would like to listen to your AM radio show, when is it on?
posted by Capn 15 May | 13:51
Hee! I have to admit when I typed that out, in my head I could hear Alex Jones saying every word.

Tang, baking soda and water!! Jeez, be careful with that shit - it's explosive if you mix it in an aluminium container!

It's the dihydrogen monoxide in tang that blocks attenuates the cellphone waves.

Sarah Jessica Parker is really a robot trained to charm unsuspecting foreign diplomats to death!

(she's been malfunctioning since those gap commericials, so now they just let her do what she wants, like the Jaws robot shark that swam out to sea, never to be seen again)

For normal candy, Gobstoppers have the greatest percentage of ground up insects by weight. By volume, the candy with the most cochineal extract is the strawberry poweder found with Lick'em Pops.

If you rub avocado under your armpits the hair will stop growing.

Works for legs and pubes, too.

After finding themselves with some left over aluminum foil my friend was able to foist it on several people over the course of the evening by convincing them that wrapping it around their cell phones would greatly improve their signal. They were able to get rid of all of their foil this way, and even got five bucks from one guy who was very happy to have finally found the solution to his signal woes.

I don't think I can top that.

I am related to famous people. Just check out my last name. There are many rumours about my clan, not all of them are true. In particular, I would like to disabuse you of the many slanderous statements about us all being Richards of a different order.
