Remarkable! Absolutely remarkable! All that from the loose use of the term
"obviously." Jax, your deductive powers are beyond compare. I am clearly
no match for your brilliance so I will attempt to stay out any future
debates with you.

Jax, here is his original staement. "Obviously I'll have alot of MRE's."
How is that lying through his teeth?

How? because his claim is both that he knows (see the use of his claim of
expertise in the use of the term "obviously") that MRE's are fine food for
use
on a sailboat in lieu of other foods, AND that MRE's are nutritious
replacements for other foods.

Neither statement is true, and yo-yo either know that or he should have
known
that to make his statement of expertise. That makes him someone lying
through
his teeth.

In addition, when it was noted that MRE's are specifically designed for
young
warriors humping heavy loads in the field for maybe a couple weeks at a
time,
yo-yo tells use that *he* is such a person and *he* needs that high
calorie
(think hydrogenated fat, check the MRE label if you doubt that) because he
claims he ran 40 miles in the last ten days (nothing before that 40 miles,
and
no indication of anything after that, but what the hey). Nevermind, that
running a total of 40 miles in ten days uses just 2,000 calories more than
breathing, and that 2,000 calories is slightly more than the calories in a
cup
of frying oil. One hell of a long ways from the frying oil, hydrogenated,
in
ten days worth of MRE's (30 or more units). Ten days MRE's (three each
day
needed for received the minimum RDA of various vitamins/minerals and
proteing)
is over 66,000 calories. Six six zero zero zero zero zero calories. That
is
more than 38,000 calories MORE THAN NEEDED by an adult male.

The frickin' idgit had never in his life eaten 30 MRE's total, let alone
in ten
days.

There are newbe's on this ng. some newbe might be unlucky enough to
believe
the clown.
