   You mean like the “Original Ranch Easy Squeeze Bottle” for Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing? I was told people seem to pick up the old style bottles and ignore the inverted bottle designs.

   The way the question was asked was why some people thought it was addressed to them since there was no certain addressing to another character. I saw him as speaking to himself and/or Toni.

   It is posing the question: Was Brad speaking to the audience or to Toni? On stage— or a cartoon— you have the walls to either side, and the main wall at the back, so any speaking to the audience breaks “the fourth wall” between the characters and the audience.

   Remember, the audience is a bunch of voyeurs who paid to watch.

   When you get to the bridge that used to be painted silver before they replaced you turn around and come back and make the other turn.

   It turned out to be a divided highway, and there was a turnaround just before this new concrete bridge, and when you came back you could make a right but there was no crossing for going the other way. Thankfully, I was a passenger, and the girl driving knew exactly what the directions meant.

   That was a case in which the termal effect was presented in the emergency department, and it was documented with the components of the heart stoppage and breathing constriction— and attributed to the cardiac because it happened faster than the breathing would have caused the death.

   It is not limited to or exclusive to beer, it is usually listed as respiratory failure in the autopsy—- they don’t make it to the ER. Sometimes the tissue is frozen, sometimes it is just “stunned” enough to cut off the air supply. The military teaches it for cold weather purposes, and the term alcohol poisoning encompasses both the ingestion of sub-freezing fluids and the behavior changes due to consumption that are the cause of death.

   Unless you do a biopsy to check the tissue the ingestion appears to be unrelated to the cause of death, and in many cases it is not frozen, just stunned enough to stop breathiing.

   The epiglottis is at the top of the trachea, where it blocks liquids from entering the lungs, and attempting to drink a 28 F (-2.2 C) beer can freeze the epiglottis to the closed position with a greater than ten minute recovery time. How are you at holding your breath for ten or twelve minutes?

    Not true.

    Many a man has walked away, gone in a straight line, and found that the end of the earth was where he had began. That story has been told many, many times, has it not?
