A friend of mine, who used to own a paint store, always had a 55gallon
drum out behind his store. Any of us who needed some, would fill our
jugs, toss a few bucks in a can and away we went. All was fine for
decades, till some environmental, tofu-sucking, Birkenstock-wearing,
Tilly hatted, Prius-driving, Ed Begley-grade tree-hugger called the
authorities and they wanted to make him install a permanent CO2
extinguisher and drip-trays with pollution-control labels and piles of
paper to fill out...he took the drum away.

Musta really ****ed you off to have lost that drum to come up with
that humorous rant. *Ever see the episode of The Simpsons where Begley
spoofed his own environmentalism by showing himself using a golf-cart
powered by his "own sense of self-satisfaction?"

They would have freaked over my engine parts cleaner back in the 70s.
A 55 gal drum sliced in half, hinged, and filled with gunk degreaser
and kerosene. Right beside the outside shop wall. I did have a one
gallon powder extinguisher, however. And the ill fitting lid...

I rant not!

Nope, I don't watch the Simpsons. Old-style cartoons, sure. I'm a huge
Bugs fan. Foghorn Leghorn RULES!!
Hanna Barbera had some great ones. When Joseph Barbera died (December
18, 2006 (aged 95)) they drove past the same cemetery scene...... 14
times.
I have all the Animaniacs on discs. I always wanted an affair with
Slappy The Squirrel.
