If 19 diehard alcoholics can't poison themselves to death in Saudi Arabia then the terrorists have won the war.

Why isn't this simply a Dumbass tag?

Funniest. Story. Ever.
 
2002-06-10 06:09:26 AM
I guess that means they prefer to die rather than smelling better!

*Puts cologne bottle down......*
 
2002-06-10 06:11:38 AM
urg?
 
2002-06-10 06:14:24 AM
They probably wanted fresher breath.
 
2002-06-10 06:16:31 AM
what kind of cologne has methanol in it and how healthy would it be inhaling it all day? U would think there would be cheaper ways of getting smashed in Saudi Arabia then skulling the Old Spice.
 
2002-06-10 06:18:34 AM
Oh well. I'm not crying.
 
2002-06-10 06:20:28 AM
This is even better than the gasoline sniffing retards.
 
2002-06-10 06:21:58 AM
I'd say considering Islam prohibits alcohol it might of been hard for them to find a heinekin

My brother said he had a buddy back in Kansas, whom he found standing beside his truck at sunrise, in his underwear, singing "Hair of the Dog" (by Nazareth) along to his car radio, as he huffed gas from the tank.

I cant drink at all, makes me sick. And to imagine that these dumb bastards are choking back perfumed alchohol to get their buzz. Can you imagine how farking vile a swig of Brut would be???
 
2002-06-10 06:25:42 AM
why yes i can!
 
2002-06-10 06:26:57 AM
"Excuse me sir, is that Lagerfeld I smell on your breath?"
"No, sir. It's 12-yr old scotch."
"Well OK then... carry on."

I'll just stick to my old friend Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol 70% thank you very much!
 
2002-06-10 06:38:28 AM
When aspirin becomes a signifigant ingredient in beer, I'll be satisfied.
 
2002-06-10 06:42:43 AM
 
2002-06-10 06:43:59 AM
yes, because as we all know, everyone who drinks is an irresponsible prick who loves to hop into his pickup truck or SUV and run people off the road.

damn government. they should prohibit the sale of alcohol everywhere.

(/sarcasm)
 
2002-06-10 06:44:20 AM
When the government issues free marijuana, I'll be satisfied.

DeathCrow:

that shiat could kill you just sniffing it.
 
2002-06-10 06:47:06 AM
er, the MJ cologne, i mean.

not the marijuana

hmmm...MJ cologne...marijuana cologne...
 
2002-06-10 06:48:51 AM
LOL. Drinking cologne? That's what we've been doing in Indiana on sundays when we run out of beer. Glad I live in the USA, where our cologne isn't tainted.
But seriously.
I feel for anyone who has lost. But I think that if Snax has such a problem with alcohol, then perhaps Snax should deal with the perps. And while at it, either make weed a seperate issue, or leave it alone.
So that the responsible people in here don't have to listen to Snax whine about how hard life can be sometimes.

2002-06-10 06:59:34 AM
Smirnoff Old Spice.

heh
 
2002-06-10 07:02:04 AM
Snax

My condolences on your loss, that's shocking, and I hope the b*stards who were responsible burn in hell. It doesn't however excuse your tarring of everyone who drinks alcohol with the same brush. If I wanna have a drink in my own home (or my pub) and do so without bothering anybody else, what farking business of yours is it?

And if I smoke a joint from a plant I can grow in my own garden, exactly which factory-working, hairnet-wearing gimp am I giving money to?
 
2002-06-10 07:02:44 AM
quick1: i submitted the story with the dumbass tag and headline '19 dumbasses die drinking aftershave' but it wasnt posted :*(

2002-06-10 07:22:41 AM
Yes, I read the thread.

You are a bigot for calling everyone not agreeing with you "fags" and a racist for saying "I'm glad those sand negroes died". That sure sounds pretty racist to me!

It doesn't matter what happened to you, it's still no excuse for being a jackass to everyone not like you.
 
2002-06-10 07:27:12 AM
Oh, and you calling me the bigot? I'll post the definition right here.

big·ot
n.
One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.


So, nope, looks like it's you, not me who is the bigot.

Congratulations SNAX! You have won the "asshat who doesn't think before typing" award of the day! Please click the link to see what you won! CLAIM YOUR PRIZE

I heard that in Canada, they have hundreds of deaths every year from drinking Lysol.
 
2002-06-10 07:31:51 AM


They should've gone for the lighter fluid.

Spock, leaning over, attached to this thread-horta, lamenting "the children... cry... for the children"

They unfortunately don't have Scope in Saudi Arabia. That's a US brand.

In fact, judging by their breath, they never even heard of mouth wash. I think they prefer goats piss.
 
2002-06-10 08:10:30 AM
Once while hitchhiking I was picked up by a couple drinking scope mouthwash mixed with OJ. Tasted awful.
 
2002-06-10 08:11:51 AM
Serves em right!! Cologne is against the dietary rules of their religion!
 
2002-06-10 08:16:27 AM
Sucks to live in a country where you get lashed for having a pint. No wonder they're so wound up.
 
2002-06-10 08:17:26 AM
What if they were an Arab-Heavens Gate group?
 
2002-06-10 08:17:47 AM
Damn! They never heard of "raisin jack"? Just take raisin bread, sugar and water (can't remember all the ingredients)let sit in dark warm place for a bit and voila! Tastes like crap, but a buzz is possible. Some of us used to make it on ship, left a bucket of that crap in the bilges awhile to ferment. Stash found once and no-more raisin bread for breakfast! And SNAX might need a nap or a XANAX.

Anyone from MA remember when Kitty Dukakis drank the rubbing alcohol, because there was no other alcohol in the house? (And was hospitalized because of it) Stupid biatch.
 
2002-06-10 09:02:49 AM
It was not immediately clear when they died.
My guess is sometime after drinking the stuff. Hey, I could be on CSI!

i submitted this last week.
still funny this week.

Snax:

I don't drink alcohol at all. I've seen people under the effect of alcohol. Most of the time, it's not that bad. They'll stumble around a bit, spit when they talk, normal drunk stuff. Other times, they'll throw things at you, or try to hit you, or throw your mother through a wall. I just choose not to even try it, because I come from a family of angry drunks, and I don't like the idea of not remembering what happened the night before I wake up. I'm not about to start telling other people not to drink it, though. It's their choice, and it has nothing to do with me.

Marijuana, on the other hand... I don't see anything wrong with it. I've never seen anybody get violent under the influence of marijuana. There has NEVER been an experience where I've forgotten what happened the night before, under the influence of marijuana. And, there has not been one single overdose or death directly caused by marijuana. Stupid people under the influence of marijuana, maybe, but never as a direct result of marijuana.

When you're with friends, it just enhances the experience greatly. Everything is just better.

Of course, "friends" are probably a foreign thing to you, so you can continue thinking what you want to think. Everybody is entitled to an opinion, even if it's farking STUPID and wrong.

19 fewer terrorists and hijackers? Works for me.

"Some people drink cologne as an alcohol substitute. "
And others drink it for ....?
 
2002-06-10 09:19:05 AM
Why, I wonder, are they arresting the guys who sell the cologne? From the article, it sounds like they're in trouble for lacing the cologne with methanol. So they're going to get lashed for putting something you can't drink in something you're not supposed to drink? Sounds like justice to me. Wouldn't the Islamists prefer the alcohol be made undrinkable?

Farkin-A- A better homemade alcohol is fermented fruit juice. Juice a whole bunch of citrus, add some sugar, and throw it in the fridge for a couple weeks. Tastes decent, and has a lot more alcohol than you think.

I lived and worked in the middle east for a few years, and this doesn't surprise me a bit.

True fact: because many muslim nations do not allow believers to purchase alcoholic beverages, there are actually cheap brands of perfume that are made/marketed for people to drink. They have a high alcohol content and are much cheaper than the "premium" brands you would actually want to splash on yourself because of the pleaseant odor.

Capitalism and alcoholism ... a dangerous combination.

Another phrase this thread brings to mind ... "the sweet smell of excess."
 
2002-06-10 10:07:26 AM
Well, if they survived, they'd probably just be beheaded for trying to get drunk in the first place.

Farking barbarians!
 
2002-06-10 10:10:28 AM
Ok lets see here I have lost friends and such to drinking but have I gone on a rant and psychoticly attacked (verbally or in person) everyone else who drinks??? Nope the only thing I do is tell the people who drink and drive that too bad you got that DUI its your fault so sad too bad. Im no different from anyone else. Everyone loses friends and such to drinking or drugs or Drunk drivers or random deer that run out in front of them... Big deal I dont see where Snax gets off going off on ANYONE that drinks or does drugs... Maybe its just me I dunno... Oh well back to the subject at hand... Yummy CKOneroundofScotch... Ok fine that sucked
