getting serious about methanol

[lance lafargue]

What point was that?  That pure Meth does very little?  I mean that pure
meth should not by itself give him wobbly action parts.  Is that right?  

By stabilizing the parts, do you mean it takes the sponginess/fluff out
(like ironing)?  I agree.

P.S. Once the Nutria is dead, a light brown roux with smothered onions,
bell peppers and celery,  over rice is nice.
