I'm overweight. This is not a health issue, as I am pretty happy with my weight, feel really good, and have no desire to lose any. It's a problem when I fly though. My girth sort of spills over onto the seat next to me, and sometimes whoever is sitting next to me gets a little snippy at having part of their seat taken up by me. The last time I flew, the skinny woman sitting next to me got really annoyed after I elbowed her for the 10th time, and she asked me if I could please move over a little in my seat. Can you believe it?! I have just as much right to fly as skinny people, and if I end up crowding them in their seat, I guess that's too bad for them; maybe next time they should try taking a Greyhound. So, smart people of AskMe, what are some clever things I can say to the skinny person sitting next to me that will make them shut up and mind their own business? Thanks in advance!

I'm a parent of three, ages 5, 9, and 11. I believe that Mother Nature has given children have an innate sense of what's good for them, and I try to guide them in life experiments that will help them learn and grow. As such, I have been letting them try alcohol, marijuana, and other "light" drugs. My oldest wants to try LSD, but I'm worried about possible flashbacks being disruptive in school. My question is: When you're having LSD flashbacks, can you just sit there quietly and let them happen, or do you tend to freak out?

OR

I'm trying to raise my children in a mixture of Native American shamanism and traditional Christianity. Our family worship services consist of taking peyote and trying to communicate with Jesus Christ. My younger son (age 9) has been getting sick after taking the peyote, and tends to vomit a lot for the next day or so. I know excessive vomiting can be harmful, but how much is too much? He tends to vomit about 5 or 6 times, but it's only once a week, on Sabbath. Also, is there something we can mix with the peyote to make it more palatable to the children?

Recently my girlfriend took (some drug) at a club for the first time and that night she was totally up for anything. It was great but she keeps asking about what happened and I think she might be remembering some things I do not want her to. And to make matters worse, since that night she has been late so she might be pregnant. (more inside)

The more:

First off, the memory thing. That night a couple of guys were admiring her and I told them that for a couple hundred they could enjoy every part of her. She was out of her head and just giggled and nodded stupidly (she ain't that smart to begin with). The next morning I told her that the bruises and soreness were because she was really wild in bed, no mention of what really happened. But now I am worried that she might remember some things. Who has experience with (the drug)? Do you tend to get your memories back? I really would like to start doing this regularly for a while since I need a new ride. But not if she might remember. I am not worried about diseases, I doublebag it and she is black so I wouldn't marry her anyway.

Secondly, I am concerned about her being pregnant. I know it ain't mine if she is, so I can either dump her and lose that potential goldmine or do something about it. I have been reading about this plant that you can make a tea out of to cause an abortion, does it work?

I have this sore on my leg that I think is a brown recluse bite. It is horribly painful but I have no insurance and I am having to self medicate. As the flesh is rotting I am scooping out the nastiest stuff with a plastic spoon and then putting some salt on it. I have to drink a lot of alcohol first and bite down on something while I work on it, but I think it is getting better. I was reading that you can use a modified taser on these bites. It said right after you were bitten, but I wonder if it would still help. I do not have a taser but I was thinking about just tossing a toaster into my bathtub and then sticking my leg in the water. Anything else that might help it heal up?

Anyway, I'm told I could go to Africa and adopt a child, but I don't see why I should make the trip over there when there are plenty of black kids here. Why can't I just go to a ghetto and grab a kid? Everyone knows that black people don't care about their kids - that's why so many children starve to death in Ethiopia.

Which kind of chicken that I can buy at the supermarket has the tightest cavity?

What I do, is wear a raincoat shopping. . .(even in the summer, I say that the produce misters cause me problems).

Then I select a few whole chickens (don't avoid the ducks, if you can find whole ones. .really) and put them under my coat (I have installed "hangers" there for the packages) and go into the restroom that is always at the back of the store at the entrance to the stock room.

With practice, you will learn to avoid detection. Also, with practice, you will learn the fine points of repackaging and restocking.

As to which fowl, I have found that it is a highly personal choice and I would not think to recommend one over the other.

Hope this helps.

I'd like to erect a memorial to Hilter in my backyard. I'm starting out with a 20 x 20 foot free-standing swastika made of wood, and could use some suggestions as to which wood would be the most durable and hold up the best, weatherwise. Cedar? Pressure-treated pine? Appreciate the help.

Check out this story - Iconomy, is that you? ; )

Oh good christ. The yahoo answers....I am dying...

Haha no, but that's what gave me the idea, sisterhavana!

I don't give much of a fuck about Yahoo Answers, but aren't the fake questions being posted there starting to turn into mass shitting-in-someone-else's-pool? Yeah yeah, internetcomedyrolfol and all that, but it's starting to feel like a forum invasion.

I felt the same way until I read the Yahoo Answers, especially the 'haha prison rape' comments. Now, I must admit I'm divided.

Some of the answers in the satanic posession thread are cracking me up. And no, I do not feel bad about it. I feel gleeful like an insane little imp brandishing a tiny pitchfork and poking people in the ass and flying off before they can catch me.

That's what you get for trying to commune with Satan, weretable.

I wish someone would post the "god is watching me throughy my cat's eyes" question.

Man, don't tempt me weretable. This thread has brought tears to my eyes as it is!

When I was reading the answers earlier I knew the Ewok dude had to be one of us.

I agree with cmonkey. I'm also extremely uncomfortable with the idea of metachat as a platform for any kind of "invasion" or goofing on any other site. Very.

My impression was that the trigger for people to start posting the questions on Yahoo! was more the MetaTalk thread than this one (not that that really matters in the end). Without disagreeing with you, taz (because you are right, of course - this is not good behaviour), I think the scope and duration are not significant in the context of such a huge and diverse site as Yahoo!. In another few hours, all those involved will have found another shiny thing to peck at and it will be nothing more than a blip on the radar at Yahoo!.

Either that, or they will find you and sue your arse off for hosting what they convince a friendly judge is a DDOS attack.

Okay this is the one I wrote out a few hours ago, when I first starting reading this thread, I figured it would be a total shitstorm of a thread but maybe maybe not get deleted...

"Help a would-be illegal immigrant!

Hey, folks. I'm planning on moving to a country in the EU and overstaying the three month no-visa period, because I hate the US government and cannot bear to live here anymore, but I've heard it's really hard to get a work visa for the EU, especially when you've recently dropped out of college. So, can anyone tell me about European anarchists and other radical anti-borders activists I can hook up with, who can help me get settled without too much hassle? Thanks!"

You're probably right, dg... I hadn't checked that MeTa thread since yesterday afternoon, but now I see the first mention of YA.

But I'd like to say that my point regarding mecha still stands, just as a general rule of thumb. Plus my schoolmarm waggling-finger was getting flabby and needed some exercise. (Thumb, finger? What's up with my digital metaphors this morning? Things are getting out of hand.)

I got yer back, taz. Stone cold.

Sorry Taz, Dodgy - Didn't mean to be mean. Mea culpa.

I am finding this to be such great stress relief. But I will refrain from posting links to my questions/answers here.

posted by weretable and the undead chairs 16 June | 13:25

I have to agree with dg, people will move on (probably already have) and any damage is minimal. Not that it makes it right, compared to ~~some~~ a lot of the "legitimate" questions asked at YA, the Mecha questions were downright normal and maybe even plausible*.

*I participate at YA on a serious level so I know wherefore I speaketh.

I don't think we are making any diffrence in the forum. There are something like 20+ questions a minute and we have posted about 15 or so total.
