(garden hose is food-related, isn't it?)
Inside the package cover it says: WARNING! Do not drink water out of
this hose. The hose could harbor hazardous chemicals, or bacteria
from stagnant water inside the hose.
Is there nothing we can do today, that we used to do as kids growing
up?

right thing to do, if your dog drinks from the toilet will you? Most
typical garden hoses are not designed to be used for potable water...
hoses meant for drinking water are made of different materials and are
identifiable by being white.

even drink out of the garden hose if you want to. When I was a kid we drank
out of the hose only because we didn't want to go inside for a glass of

correctly. Most garden hose manufacturers produce hoses specifically
for potable water (typically for RV, marine, and travel trailer use),
the standard color for identification is white. There is no law
regulating which hoses people drink from but it's wise to use those
specfically manufactured for potable water. Considering there are so
many self proclaimed know it alls at rfc I'm udderly amazed that no
one else knows about potable water hoses.

blows enough water into his system to balloon him up triple normal

I'd like to give him something new and improved to up his complaint

that. I am a complainer too, but not on the level of Somebody. His
complaints are not creative enough. Obviously he has not read my
latest book, "The Art of Creative Complaining." Even if he did read
it, he'd have some complaint about it, it's too long or too short or
it cost too much or not enough. Ok, let's put it this way: Somebody
is the kind of guy who complains from the back seat that there's too
much air, can you please roll up the damned window - and says it in a
whiny and demanding way. But you know when he makes the complaint -
you just know it even if you can't prove it - that if the window had
been already rolled up he would have complained that there wasn't
enough air. Get it? He's a complainer. Maybe I could steal his
crown if I had to deal with someone like you on a daily basis.
Then I'd really complain, or put some distance between us awfully

funny thing about gay marriage - the one thing that stands out right

and taste disapates within a relatively short time, especially as
bacterial slime builds up inside those hoses. The hoses made for
potable water are made of different materials, especially the interior
ply that's of a special material that doesn't readily harbor
bacteria... also the couplings are made of a nonreactive metal. There
is nothing new about garden hose packaging being marked with warnings
about not to use them for drinking, those warnings have been displayed
for some fifty years. I know very well not to drink from the typical
garden hose but when outside on a hot day and watering plants I will
occasionally drink from the hose rather than walk all the way back
indoors for clean water. Most people who work with garden hoses will
drink from the hose but it's really not a good practice... especially

the dollar store dishes merely because of the price, although surely
that factors in - I actually prefer less ornate dishware. I don't
think the expensive stuff is "pretty" as you say. I have seen some
nicely colored plates - wow, how attractive! - but they are meant to
be filled with food, not hung on a wall, right? I was in an
institution when I was a kid. It was run by catholic brothers. It
was a rough place. When you become "priest boy", you know you're
going to get out soon because that's a job they give to those about to
be released. I remember that priest and his special silver ware and
teapots and other stuff that made annoying clinking sounds when
transported and when used. My job was to bring this guy his dinner on
a silver tray with the other stuff arranged on it. One time he asked
me to confess my sins - swear to God - and I admit I was a bit
intimidated and had no one to complain to because I was in an
institution - and I asked him sheepishly, "Can't I just wait till
Saturday and confess with the other kids?", and he wouldn't let up. I
made up a few things and wormed my way through it. But I don't think
that's the reason I don't like expensive silverware because I tend to
prefer practical things over ornate things in most all realms. Thanks
for the response.

an egg-farting elephant. The kids would turn it on just to get a whiff
of that awful smell. I don't know what the deal was but I suppose that
the water hose was rotting from the inside.
The most amazing thing about water from a hose, is that under the right
conditions, it's able to supply the most wonderful drink you've ever had.

Water standing in a hose for an extended period is the reason that I
don't like those kitchen spray thingies that are separate from the
faucet. The ones with a hose attached to the facet head are fine and
handy and get purged several times a day. The other designs are pretty

The drinking water in the fridge had the same taste. The family
restaurant I ate at had drinks made from stinky water which was
surprising. I survived the week by drinking Gatorade and soda. I don't

often wondered why I'm still alive after years of drinking and smoking
and abusing myself in many ways. My theory is that I've got a big
germ growing inside of me that's keeping the other stuff away. My
hero. he's like the bully of the block saying, "this is my turf,
don't even try it." He is my friend, my ally for sure - but one day
he will grow to such a size that the smaller germs he's been living on
for years will no longer be enough and he'll be forced to turn on my
body itself, devouring the very thing it has protected all these
years.

really good healthy food and I rarely eat out. But while my meal
portions are small, I am a dabbler in a variety of snacks and other
calorie laden items that come between those small plated meals. I'm
not Mr Fatso or anything, but I could lose a few pounds. Joining a
gym has entered my mind. I have deteriorated from so many years of
doing nothing that I will need to use barbells to gain sufficient
strength to do pushups and chinups and other body bearing exercises I
prefer. But maybe weight lifting is ok too. Anyway, it's good to
know we have one thing in common - we're both small plate people.

inventor, just the idea guy. My idea is this: You know how an
unattended garden hose jumps around when water shoots through it? Why
couldn't they do that with a fake penis? I mean a really realistic
looking penis that is soft and flaccid but becomes rigid and stiff on
command. This could be achieved by some sort of revolving water cycle
that with the press of a button shoots through the fake penis and
makes it jump into hardness. I am not an inventor so can't say how it
can be done, only that it can be done and one day will be done as all
the great inventions I've thought of have gone on to great success
even though I never got credit for them. Bastards.

sorry for you and have decided to buy you a new car. I hit the
lottery a few years back but never made it public till now. I can
afford it. Please let me buy you a new car. I want it to be
perfect. I have a bet with a wealthy friend for the same amount of
money I spent to buy the car. I'm betting you will complain. Now, in
case you read this and decide to purposely NOT complain just to see me
lose my bet, I'm ok with that too as I made the same bet the other way
around with another wealthy friend. I can't lose, and you're getting
a brand new car out of the deal, and it makes my soul happy to be so
generous. I am also betting that within one year you will die in the
car as I have rigged the bottom of the vehicle with a time bomb. I
don't know why I'm telling you this, now you might now accept the
car. Anyway, it's there if you want it. Just name the brand you like
- cost means nothing - and I'll have it shipped to you. All I need
your name, address, and social security number.

the sun, the water inside heats up to scalding temps, especially if it's
been sitting under pressure. I have to direct the stream up in the air and
away from plants until it runs cool. There's not much living inside that
hose after an afternoon in the sun.

people love the smell of foul odors, or any odors for that matter - as
just being able to smell means we're alive. Some smells are more
attractive than others. But if the most attractive smells were taken
away, surely they would be replaced with others. Some smells are
considered foul, and they are - but even the foul ones have a certain
appeal that cannot be denied by any honest, open-minded person. Even
road kill is good. Sure, your face crunches up and you might exhale a
mighty, "Whew, what the hell is that?", but at the same time your nose
will be twitching with the same excitement your grandma's kids would
display when they'd turn on that faucet for a quick "Ewwww-like"
sampling of stench. We love it, all of us.
The world stinks and I love it,

everything else is sky high and ready for the stratosphere. I
determine the relative condition the economy is in on the basis of
minimum wage. I know in the mid 70s I made $80 a week minimum wage,
and at that time you could find a decent car for a week's wages. You
could even pay a month's rent on it if you found the right place. Try
that today. Minimum wage today pays about $250 a week. You might be
able to get a used car for that but you're going to have to get
lucky. And you're not going to find a monthly rental for that
either. My point is, I am no different from you. I have never had AC
anywhere, period. I haven't owned a car in 30 years. I can't figure
out how people do it. They must be in debt. I had a guy offer me a
free car about 20 years ago. I knew it would need work at some point
and I also knew what I made per week and that owning the car would
probably be a drain on me and also a waste of something good, so I
told the guy thanks but please give it to someone who can really take
care of it.
See how honest I am?

up eating the plates. In fact, we could make the plates out of some
kind of sugar ingredient - like the kind they make fortune cookies
with - and the plate could then be eaten as a dessert. In reality,
the small-plate users going to progressively smaller plates will
probably resort to creatively piling the food high, even choosing
foods that are sticky so they can be piled vertically on the tiny
plate base so that the food will look like a rocket and the plate like
a launching pad.

come through them, don't they? If you drink tap water (I do), I'm not
sure you'd want to see what the pipes look like. I'm sure most of the
transported food and drink we use are poured through hoses or funnels
and into vats that would not be pretty to look at. Just look at it
this way: You are a germ. Your body is a waste machine. You can
chew up and spit out almost anything the earth has to offer. Just
don't think about it too often or you might not want to eat or drink

LOL, last comment. On the subject of hoses though, most things
come through them, don't they? If you drink tap water (I do), I'm not

get a whiff of that stink and then it would get stronger and then
stronger still. The kids would then yell and run away from that thing.
Every culture has their own favorite stinky foods. I guess the favorite
one here is takuwan, which is pickled daikon. We like ours dyed to a
brilliant fluorescent yellow. I will eat one or two small pieces of this
stinky stuff if it's in a bento on a bed of rice. Any more than that -
forget it. Of course nato is just awful and smells like a hamper of
used, damp, gym socks that's been sitting in a closet for a week. There
no chance in hell that I'd ever eat it so we can just forget about that one.
I bought a shaker box of asiago cheese from Costco and had not been able
to find it for a few days. I was relieved to find it wrapped in a
plastic bag, tucked away in the fridge. Evidently kimchee has met it's
match as the stinky food king in our refrigerator. I guess my wife
couldn't handle it. Payback is a bitch...
I'm gonna make a pizza with that cheese tomorrow. It'll be great - and
stinky. :-)

chef Sam Choy was heavy into vertical dishes about a decade ago - a
silly concept. Looking at his creations would make me feel ill. That guy
has lost a lot of weight so my bet is that his dishes are now as flat as

OTOH, you're probably right about people going to ridiculous heights to

use a miniature limbo pole that your plate has to limbo under. If you
knock down the pole, you don't eat!

food and dwell strictly on stench for a moment. When I was a kid,
about 13, I remember one day taking a crap and putting it in a large
jar - not too large, maybe about a quart tops - and then took a leak
into the jar and stirred it till it was the consistency of hummus or
maybe hard icecream about to go soft - that texture. But it wasn't
enough. I went down to my grandparent's fridge and put some mayo and
ketchup and mustard in the jar and then stirred it up and placed it on
the roof outside my bedroom window. It was summer. I had that
thing out there for a week or more before I got bored with it. But
every day I'd take it off the roof and open it for a whiff and it made
me feel like a scientist of some sort, maybe even coming up with the
cure for cancer for all I know. The stinkier it is the healthier it's
got to be, like medicine. It was one of the few projects I've ever
been involved with in my life really - the turd jar on the sun baked
roof of my grandparent's home project, many years ago.

small plate subject but will agree with you that they are the proper
size for most practical meals, if we're talking about the same sized
plates, and I think we are. Instead of the limbo, how about this: If
the plate is too large to shove up one's ass sideways, then it's too
large to eat from. I am done here, going out to the kitchen where I
have a bowl of beans that just finished heating in the microwave. The
bowl was bought at the dollar store. It's the simple white one, not
too large, and is very good for the microwave. I cook and eat the
same thing for 5 or 6 days - adding different things each day if so
inclined - and I'm on day 3 with the bean mix. I wish they made me
fart but they don't. I think my intestines are so narrow and so
clogged with age-induced turds that the farts can't get through in one
piece. My farts are very disappointing. They don't roll out like
they used to, they just squeak out. Bad, very bad. God, sometimes I
think that cutting a good fart is even more rewarding than taking a
good crap. I miss it.

I do, and you are 100% correct. Imagine using the wrong hose for clean
water! :(

asian pussy is the same. So the too small problem only occurs when an
asian with a too small dick is trying to get it on with a non asian
female with a too large vagina. There is probably a purpose for the
asian dick as all things serve a purpose of some sort. I'm sure a
prostitute called upon to suck a dick would be pleased to see her
client is asian. So no matter what you think of your own small dick,
please remember that somewhere out there is someone who somehow
benefits from it. This is a lesson to be learned and I have many to
teach.
All dick, no balls,

alone. I was not under the gun to produce. It was a luxury just to
know I had the time to dabble in so worthless a pursuit.
I was one who visited the novelty shops looking for practical
jokes and so forth. I was in my teens, maybe 17. I saw this item for
sale that said, "Fart Container", or something like that. I can't
recall the actual title. It was a novelty item, not designed for
use. It was a nozzle like what you'd see on an enema tube. The
nozzle was attached to a hard blue bulb. The idea was you stick the
nozzle up your ass and fart into the bulb. But it could not be done
because the bulb was hard, not like a balloon.
That did not deter me though. I farted into the nozzle and
then quickly held my finger over the nozzle hole and walked all the
way to the poolroom, about a mile, with my finger pressed to the hole
to keep the fermenting fart trapped in the bulb. Later I found a
friend I knew could take a joke without getting violent. I approached
him and said, "Hey, smell this stuff", holding the bulb up as his face
zoomed in, only to release my finger and press on the bulb
simultaneously, releasing the trapped fermentation straight into my
victim's face. We both laughed about it later. Hey, it's just a
smell man, get over it.
Be like the fart itself, do your thing and move on

best buddy the tv, that's about it when it comes to my day.

You fucking lying piece of capitalist shit. How come the Bush Cartel
can kidnap and torture me and be elected to office? Because maggots
like you deserve to be beaten to death. Dupont and Shell passed laws
allowing fossil fuels to be added to the hose. Nuke Congress.
