I'm sorry guys but I think I may be responsible for the melting of Greenland.

I started a new line of GREEN FISHING HOOKS. Trying to impact the environment a little as possible we started importing Greenland Ice. The ice would be melted then shipped to the states. Then we would pour the melted glacier water into molds refreezing it to make fishing hooks.

Thus we had GREEN FISHING HOOKS. They didn't catch much fish but then again they are environmentally friendly plus PETA approved. We just didn't think about the how our GREEN FISHING HOOKS would impact other aspects of the environment.

What can I say we tried our best thinking all natural was good. :)

A BIG STINK IN THE JUNGLE

Postby webenda » Tue Sep 18, 2007 12:44 am

"...it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill."

Ahhh, mercaptans multiplied by three.

What is a mercaptan? It is about the stinkiest thing you've ever smelt!

These colourless liquids and gases, also called thiols, have an absolutely offensive stench and are found in almost all of the most disgustingly pongy places on earth.

Mercaptans are found in your smelliest farts, and can be smelt in rotten vegetables, animal poo and at rubbish dumps.

Mercaptans are also world famous as they make up the foul smell that skunks spray from their glands when they feel threatened.

They're usually created by bacteria which ferment foods either in our guts or in any other warm place, and an element named sulphur is added to the waste products. This happens quite quickly when dead animals are left by the side of the road in the hot sun - if you ever see one, hold your nose.

Being very stinky sometimes has advantages, though. In some countries they add a very small dose of mercaptans to the natural gas supply, so if you accidentally leave the gas on, your nose lets you know about it before too much has escaped.

Doug,

Where ya been? Haven't seen you in the jungle since last year.

Kimchi reminds me of Hobo Stew, in that they throw anything edible that they can find into it. Then, after fermenting it is ripe and ready to eat.

I think the fermented fish cimchi has the strongest odor. There is nothing to compare to fermented fish.

Jon, do you remember that fellow that sold us the postcard books and then disappeared? I wonder if he just does that, goes on forums to sell books. Not that I don't like my book, but after he sold a few, he was gone.

What a lovely early fall evening here on the coast. How's the weather around the rest of the hobo locations?

Beer? Never heard of it.

Jon, the waterspout the way you weathered it is really something special. I wish I had a layout because I'd begin it with that item. Andre is a superb craftsman even if he writes English better than the rest of us.

That butter comment to Frank destroyed me.

I believe you're referring to the fella named Amalie. He may have had a book agenda, but he was good company. Nice thing about your Jungle is people always seem to drift back through on occasion.
We're in the 60's at night and 80's during the day. Very little humidity so it's been a treat.
I'm sure at some point you and D will get around to some type of permenent layout. With your artistic talents it's gonna be awesome.
