Gen. Tony McAuliffe was pretty badass too.

Demon-Xanth, you are a scholar and a gentleman to excoriate the ill-conceived philippic in such an eloquent and fair minded tone.

I also hope the dolt's saturnism does not take a turn for the worse in the meantime leasding to an encore performance of his cretinous wit.

WAT?

But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.


??

WAT?
Whereas I put forth a deferential utterance to convey gratitude to demon-xanth for his reply to a blathering dolt's mystifying post, this fine fellow quoted an over-alliaterated movie script to feign eloquence where none exists.

You couldn't have put another word that begins with F after Fellow could ya...Alliteration makes me horny

Aww.. for the food additives list, cracked.com totally should have described the gelatin/bone char combination. They skipped it, yet if they hadn't it would have surpassed the sugar whitening one.

The key ingredient for gelatin production is basically from mashed up bones. I was watching one of those How Do They Do It episodes and it was basically a large tub of bones, mashed up with acid, and mashed some more, and they got a certain ingredient from it. Cannot remember what the exact ingredient was though.

But, when eating Jello, know that the product that makes it all jello-y is in fact heavily derived from bones.
Far from disgusting if you ask me. In fact none of that list really bothers me. Have known about shellac for a long time. So we're eating other animals and bugs. What's new? Been doing that forever.
Hell, lobster and crab and shrimp? Insects of the sea.

Churchill gave the signal to attack by cutting down the enemy feldwebel (sergeant) with his barbed arrows, becoming the only known British soldier to have felled an enemy with a longbow in the course of the war.[2]

If going by numbers he's the best but Carlos Hathcock is the best sniper period. Did crazy harrowing shit like sneaking in NVA bases to take out one general and stuff. Simo just shot everyone he saw and in his woods.

One of Hathcock's most famous accomplishments was shooting an enemy sniper through his scope, hitting him in the eye and killing him.[2] Hathcock and John Burke, his spotter, were stalking the enemy sniper in the jungle near Hill 55, the firebase Hathcock was operating from. The sniper had already killed several Marines, and was believed to have been sent specifically to kill Hathcock. When Hathcock saw a flash of light (light reflecting off the enemy sniper's scope) in the bushes,[2] he fired at it, shooting through the scope and killing the sniper.[5] Surveying the situation, Hathcock concluded that the only feasible way he could have put the bullet straight down the enemy's scope and through his eye would have been if both snipers were zeroing in on each other at the same time, and Hathcock fired first, which gave him only a few seconds to act. Given the flight time of rounds at long ranges, both snipers could easily have killed one another. The enemy rifle was recovered and the incident is documented by a photograph.

WOW! I wonder how he does against womp rats?

Dude, he killed over 700. And he also used an SMG for close range stuff. Plus the Russians get so sick of him they bombed the entire forest, and he still survived. Then he got his face blown off and survived that too. Badass. He's probably usurped god in heaven.

Let's see how he does in Arctic conditions with half the Russian army hunting him and half the airforce oh and half his head missing...
