fat people can burn like inside out candles if your fat starts burning, your clothes can start to soak the melting fat and function like a candle wick, except that the wick covers the fuel source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wick_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Reeser fucken hell

bossy lady posted:blood is natures bbq sauce You’re allowed to make a little fire and cook the arm a little, and you can use your shirt for a wet mop. It’s up to you if you just like a dry rub, but you are limited to the salts and sages and lemongrass of the area for spice. Pepper and mustard is out of reach. Start gnawin or lay down like a dog and die?

Welp, something I JUST LEARNED is that these things have a release mechanism. God I’m so full, and I’ve burned through a whole bottle of KC Masterpiece. Sometimes the clearest path to a goal isn’t always the one that builds the most character.

Nuts and Gum posted:Ferengi duck dick seems to track. Speaking of ducks. If you washed a duck in warm water and detergent, then again with dry-cleaning fluid to remove all the natural oils from its feathers, would it still float on top of water or would it absorb the water like a sponge, become less buoyant and sink? I wish to learn this, I figured maybe this thread would be the place.

I recently learned that Quarterflash’s “Harden My Heart” is a re-recording of the same song by the same band under the previous band name of Seafood Mama. The original was recorded in 1980 and was a local hit in Portland, Oregon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL5LcNk8y1E

ChubbyChecker posted:fat people can burn like inside out candles i got this bud who used to do crimey poo poo in chi, waaaay back, like, got in at seventh grade moving pills for an older sibling at school, moved up to higher level weight poo poo pretty fast, had connects with LKs and BDs, rus mob and w/e. fwiw before i get to the real stuff: he's a great person now, totally reformed & living a good life. but got in young and was getting paid like, bottles in the VIP & sports cars at fifteen years old paid, and didn't understand all of what he was getting into until it was too late. by the time he realized he had to get out, he couldn't, bc he'd made serious commitments to serious people, like, "kill you and your family if you intentionally gently caress up their money" serious. he did manage to get out at about 18, (relatively) smoothly - by then most of his partners were already dead from street poo poo, some in prison, and he ended up catching some heavy drug charges that interfered with his ability to operate local, which probably saved his life - even after that he still had to coordinate stuff from outta state over a prepay for a good minute so that stuff was in order, so he could retire. that kind of life is loving horrific and all-encompassing. p. much everyone has to become a monster just to stay alive. even if you are making stacks and not having any particular trouble, nothing really has any value as long as you're in the street drug game, but particularly human life. especially long term value, long term risk assessment, they just don't exist for that world. why get some minimum wage job, or try to graduate, get your GED, or go to college? you might not pass, let alone find a job that makes it worth it, you might not even live to graduation. that combination of the paranoia, the desperation of poverty, and the almost deathcultish normalization of violence and crime from existing without any hope for anything better leads to violence, theft, and murder becoming the go-to for not only solving problems, but for attempting to avoid them. sidenote, since im sure at least few ppl who read this are thinking about it by this point: ive talked about the wire with him and what he said was the biggest details it got wrong are that the most active street kids are, and start out, younger, that there's muuuch more violence and death, and that org. crime has far, far fewer issues with the justice system. dirty lawyers out the rear end, bribes, hush money. big charges just go away, or get a slap on the wrist. no irl McNulties solving stuff bc the cops are either on the payroll, or are so criminally incompetent that they cause more problems than the dirty ones anyways, one time we got really drunk, and he just sorta broke down and told me about seeing this 350-400lb dude's body getting torched in a shallow ditch. my boy wasn't a shooter, didn't have anything to do with this guy dying directly, but when bad things went down in certain places or associated to certain things, he still had an obligation to make sure it didn't go more sideways than it did. can't risk making other people think you're leaving them hanging. he explained that normally bodies would get run down to sketch crematoriums just out of state, like in Indiana, Missouri. but this guy was too big for whoever had killed him to transport. said the body went up like a bonfire, flames 9ft+ high, but it burned HOT, and FAST. said it haunted him, was one of those things you can't unsee or ever forget, and that it'd just flash into his head, the heat, the sound, the smell, just out of nowhere, often. i can't even imagine, like, that conversation alone is something i can't ever forget and it was well over a decade ago. makes that geto boys line, "candlesticks in the night, visions of bodies bein burned" hit different, that's for fuckin' sure well, enjoy your Friday!

There was a Perry Mason book about that very subject called The Case of the Drowning Duck. I think the title answers your question.
