    Does anyone have one of those home mosquito systems? The one's that run some kinda tube along the top of your house or fence and they fog mosquito's and various times of day......if so do they work as well as advertised?

    Nationwide? About 330,000,000 people in the US. Assume an average of 10 people per Thanksgivng meal, so that works about to about 33,000,000 Thanksgiving meals. Let's set a conservative estimate of 10% of the Thanksgiving meals involving a fried turkey that's done on site (as opposed to being bought from somewhere).

    So that's somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,300,000 homes where turkeys are going to be fried. If we accept that rednecks* are not definied by gender, race or region but rather, as in the words of Jeff Foxworthy, possess "a glorious lack of sophistication" and set the proportion of rednecks at, oh let's be non-cynical and say, 20% of the population. That means that 660,000 redneck households are going to be frying turkeys.

    Then, in the best possible scenario, let's say only 1% of those households will hear the words "Here, hold my beer. Hey, y'all. Watch this." right before the turkey hits the oil. That puts us at 6,600 households that are in significant danger of personal injury and/or property loss.

    Let's give the benefit of the doubt to 99% of those unfortunate households that they may avert disaster through either Divine intervention or lack of handy beer holders. So the number of Thanksgiving Day Fried Turkey Fires is at 66.

    I got the over.

    Here, hold my beer while I go calculate some other risk scenarios. :D

    ============================

    * Redneck is certainly not meant to be a pejorative. In fact, on most days and in most situtations I count myself in that gloriously unsophisticated number.

    Also totally not relevant but interesting is that I am currently in the least religious nation on earth, iceland, with fully a quarter of the population being atheist, or agnostic, which is the same thing, and not coincidentally it is among the richest and most polite and best educated nations on earth as well. Also doesn't hurt that (in my racist opinion) at it is racially homogenous, with everyone here of superior Celtic and Nordic smart genes.

    Not a terrible idea, but White people get boring after a while. being the smartest isnt everything. America is probably a superior country, partially for its diversity, which I think makes it more creative and interesting. But there is no question that the Icelanders a smart bunch. Efficient and good looking and clean and rich and friendly and not religious. But this country is too boring and safe to ever produce a jimi Hendrix or something similarly wild and creatively interesting.

    And I should note that white people are not all the same. These particular whites are superior to Albanians, who are fucking idiots, in the same sense that Kenyans are superior to west Africans, also dumbasses.

    speaking of Hendrix, new music will be released March, 2013. 13 tracks where he is basically playing every instrument.
