I would fail. I couldn't bring myself to hit a woman. In any circumstance. (especially not the blonde in the TN, rowr!)

In the course of my business, I got involved with an employee's problem with a drunk. He was much smaller than me, but got in a sucker punch while I was turned away from him. He was obviously hoping for a glass jaw, but mine is more like a cinder brick, only heavier. Anyways, he just pissed me off. He was flitting around, connecting, breaking skin a couple times, but no real power so it was just annoying. I finally connected -once- and he went down. Then two girls from his group grabbed onto me (ugly skanks so it wasn't remotely fun) and he ran off. They were scratching at me, kicking, and then one started to -without one word of a lie- try to burn me with her cigarette lighter. I still didn't hit either one. I wasn't brought up that way. I was finally able to push them far enough away and threatening to pound them kept them away.

It might be different if the female in question had a weapon, knife or club, and was intent on killing me, but anyplace where I could handle the damage, and knowing I could do seriously outclassed damage to them? No, I'd just take it.

...Steps off curb during a red light..., A robot arm comes out of no where, and yanks me back onto the curb.

Lights a cigarette in a no smoking area, the robot arm comes out of no where and snatches it from your mouth.

Urinating in public, the robot arm comes out of no where and rips you D*** off...

It's probably not as economical and convenient as white phosphorous.

My father was a physicist, and he told me a story (mind you, a great deal of his stories were apocryphal and he died before they could be sorted out--which is why I feel justified in claiming my great grandmother was Irish royalty and my great grandfather was an armless gypsy horse acrobat... but I digress). Anyways, he claimed that for a time in Spain there was a company marketing cigarette lighters that used white phosphorous so that you could merely flip the lid open, exposing a small amount to the air igniting it, and very suavely light a ladies cigarette for her. Unfortunately, sometimes the seals would fail while in a man's trouser pocket, which is where the slang "willy peter" comes from.

Just after it lands it looks like someone just put out the world's largest cigarette butt.

Sure is nice to hear Billy Joel still sound so unmistakably like Billy Joel... unlike his counterpart Elton John, who now sounds nothing like Elton John.
Doesn't seem fair that tremendous amounts of alcohol, cocaine, and cigarettes (at least in Billy Joel's case) can affect two people so differently.

I guess getting old truly can suck sometimes.

Or when he see it at an angle with a picture of a cigarette underneath it...

I was sipping on a Whiskey when I got the call
Yeah my friend Lex was lying in the hospital
She'd been pretty sick for about half a year
But it seems liked this time the end was drawing near
So dropped my plans and jumped the next London train
I found her laid up and in a lot of pain
Her eyes met mine and then I understood
That her weather forecast wasn't looking too good
So I sat and spun her stories for a little while
Tried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile
But she silenced all my rambling with a shake of her head
Drew me close and listen this is what she said now

"You'll live to dance another day,
it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us,
so stop looking so damn depressed
and sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead"

Yeah she told me she was sick of all the hospital food
And of doctors, distant relatives, draining her blood
She said "I know I'm dying, but I'm not finished just yet,
I am dying for a drink and for a cigarette"
So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel
In the centre of the City and to raise some Hell
They waste to all the clubs and then when everyone else is long asleep
We know we're good and done

"You'll live to dance another day,
it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us,
so stop looking so damn depressed
and sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead"
And South London's not the same anymore
The Queen is dead, and the last of the great has finally gone to bed

Well I was working on some words when Sarah called me up
She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up
And even though I knew that there was nothing to be done
I felt bad for not being there and now, well, she was gone
So I tried to think what Lex would want me to do
At times like this when I was feeling blue
So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad sad news
And we headed to the City for a drink or two
And we sang

"We live to dance another day,
it's just now we have to dance for one more of us,
so stop looking so damn depressed,
and sing with all our hearts, long live the Queen"

I did not even imply that having a cigarette was necessary to initiate a conversation. Jeez, are you being deliberately obtuse, an annoying troll, just ignorant, or all three? I'm done.

Looks like this particular setup holds the hydrogen chemically, and only releases it when heated. You're thinking it's just a pressurized cylinder, when it's actually a chemical compound inside.

Like he said in the video, (1:00) you can cut the cylinder in half, light it, and the hydrogen leaking out would make a birthday candle look like a flame thrower. "Smoulder like a cigarette."

It's severely awesome, the hydride "sucks" in hydrogen at low pressures, stores it safely, then pushes the gas out at high pressure if heated. Certainly no MORE dangerous than the petroleum based fuel that our cars run on now. Gasoline certainly vapourizes and explodes when heated.

I don't have the right not to be offended? lol

Good god, everyone today is offended. People are offended because a football team is called the 'Redskins'.

People are offended because others don't believe in global warming.

People are offended by Duck Dynasty.

People are offended by Chik-fil-ay

People are offended by anything regarding Christianity.

People are offended by gun laws.

People are offended by nudity.

People are offended by violence.

People are offended by cigarette smokers.

You are obviously offended by me and my preferences.

etc etc etc etc etc

If that is your argument, I just blew it out of the water.

Also, why are my preferences 'wrong' or 'narrow'?

Also, I don't look or search google for homosexual images or apologias or anything else of that nature. I prefer searching google for nude babes.
I can judge just as well as you judge me.
What happened to that old adage 'everyone has their own opinion'?

Perhaps you have too much Chaos in your life and could use a little order.
