I Always Thought Tassadar Was Like Niles Crane
Man Attacks Stain in Trousers...Destroys Apartment
1 hour, 9 minutes ago


MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian man may wish he had stuck with having dirty trousers after an imaginative attempt to purge a stubborn paint stain on them destroyed his apartment.

The unnamed Muscovite added a liter of petrol to his washing machine to help dissolve the stain, Itar-Tass news agency reported Monday, but the ensuing explosion wrecked his kitchen and demolished two internal walls.

Moscow police confirmed there had been an explosion in a south-eastern Moscow apartment, but would not comment on the cause.

Of course. Bush.

From "Frasier" television show.
Frasier, brother Niles, father Marty.

Hey baby, I hear the blues a-callin'
Tossed salad and scrambled eggs
Oh My!
Mercy**

And maybe I seem a bit confused,
Yeah maybe, but I got you pegged!
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!
But I don’t know what to do with
those tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
They’re callin’ again.

You think calling me Marty, or Eddie, would upset me?
I'd rather be either, rather than Niles OR Frasier.

True. Yet, Daphney is hot... the only consulation for Niles. Frasier though; Diane and Lilith... not a very good track record IMO.

Actually, I see Sloww as Bulldog.

Actually, this isn't quite as crazy as it sounds. My family has been in the drycleaning business for about seventy years (seriously).

I have some very old books on the chemistry and machinery of dry cleaning, and believe it or not, gasoline was once used to remove stains and as a drycleaning agent.

Not in a modern eletrical washing machine, no. But I can imagine people doing this is the Soviet era with a hand crank type machine.
