Why are they trying to ruin my Pork and Beans?

I was always told that it was eggs that caused lots of gas, not beans. This information coming to me in 6th grade from a friend, who was part of the Hispanic migrant worker community. He disappeared one day in mid October. Only later much later did I realize that his family moved back to Texas, as was the thing to do when winter was coming in Michigan.

That's interesting, because "If memory serves..." those are both found in dairy products. or at least in yoghurt. and those clever sub-continental chefs make wonderful dishes including beans with yoghurt. further evidence that indian cooking is not only the tastiest fare in the world, but the healthiest.

According to the mythbusters (who have never been and are never wrong or have a small sample size), beans are the key to nights spent alone.

Well, that's just bohunk b/c they didn't use any ballistics gell during those tests. See, if they had just tried to pierce some ballistics gell with their farts, then we would know that the tests were completely legitimate...

sure, it always starts out innocent enough. You think to yourself "I'll just pierce the ballistics gel with a fart", but all it takes is a lonely night and a short trip up the taint before you're the subject of one of Ziggy's posts. It's not worth the risk javelina, it's just not worth the risk...

A few drops of oil of wintergreen (from baking supply store) can be used as a preservative.
