Comment Re:Ethanol is a crock nobody wants (Score 1) 330

Notice how consumers aren't given the choice of buying "pure" gas, as opposed to E10. I'm pretty sure that if we had the choice we'd be buying the good stuff, not the corn crap.

You can buy it, you just can't put it in your car to drive on the highway. You can buy it at specialty fuel paces that sell to race car folks and at cardlock type places. You have to sign that you won't put it in your car. I buy it at my local CFN dealer to use in my chainsaw, lawnmower, etc. Definitely worth the extra cost to run it in your small engines; more power and none of the damage you get from ethanol.

You are beginning to see things correctly Comrade Citizen. Have you considered applying for a career position here at the Ministry of Truth?

From the film version of Dr. Zhivago where Strelnikov is interrogating Zhivago on his armored train:

Strelnikov: You put your knife with a fork and a spoon and it looks quite innocuous. Perhaps you travel with a wife and child for the same reason.

>the magazine on the otherhand... a box, a spring, and a plate... now THAT is truly terrifying!

Putting a Miss Piggy head on top was a clever disguise, Mr. Terrorist, but we recognize a .22 short magazine when we see one. Come along quietly now before we get upset and have to beat you senseless.

> but GCS has stated that the tablets broke because they lacked a layer of Gorilla Glass. This was listed in the contract, but the school district did not confirm the condition of the tablets before accepting them

This is a $3,000,000.00 contract and no one thought to check the product specs against the contract specs. Heads need to roll, and certainly would where I work. And, yes I work for a government agency.

Since yew trees (Taxus) are gymnosperms, that kind of queers your proposed theology, unless you accept the more mainstream doctrine that Yggdrasil is an ash (Fraxinus). Also, don't forget that His Noodly Appendages are derived from wheat and the sacramental beverages are made from barley and grapes.
