The Dude Abides

I say that in tounge and cheek, but please read on and you will understand why...

I sell this stovetop grill, a grill you can put directly on your stove. When I travel and do my shows, I need a portable stove that will simulate a household stovetop. I use it to cook and serve samples of chicken to the public. I have tried everything from portable propane camping stoves, to portable electric ranges etc. and none of them seem to cook right. But today I tried taking 7 small chafing dishes, and placing them under the grill and it cooked perfectly! But then I read on the side of the dishes "contains ethyl alcohol and 3.3% methyl alcohol. may cause death or blindness if swallowed". Now I know I'm not using them the way they were meant to be used, so I need to be sure if this is ok. Because the flame they are producing is coming in direct contact with the food. I don't think the health inspector would be crazy about me blinding and killing people at the show, serving them Methel marinated chicken. Please help! Thousands of lives depend on it :)

Can someone please tell me what this phrase translates to, and how do I pronounce it. Thanks!!!

I met a girl and was instantly very attracted to her. Personality, looks, traits etc...I am way into her. The sexual attraction is very intesnse as well, but heres the thing: when I kiss her for some reason the taste of her breath and mouth is sort of less than attractive to me. I don't know what it is. She has very good hygene and like perfect teeth and doesnt smoke. I've been with girls where the opposite is true, I love the taste of them. But with her, it's just not the case. Am I looking too deep into this, or do you think pheromones and like the taste and smell of someone is a good indicator of whether or not to puruse them sexually or even in a relationship?

I know most of us want to believe in it. But does it really work? It seems like every time I've tried it someone always gets hurt. Anyone ever been in a healthy FWB relationship?

What is your ideal age range? Please post your age/ gender and your ideal mates age. I'm male 33, and just seem to prefer younger women. 24-27 is ideal for me.

I've enjoyed match.com since I started, and have had many great dates, but have never gotten serious or involved sexually with anyone. My roommate met a couple of girls, got somewhat serious and both revealed to him they had herpes. Do you think this is common or just a fluke?

Or any other one you like. Personally I love Cowherd cause he's funny as hell and sarcastic but some people hate him and I'm not sure why. What do you love and hate about these guys?
