    Stupid kid, the transformers don't run on gas.

    They run on Energon. God, you gotta stay away from the stuff, it's like heroin.

    Or, according to the new Animated TV show, they also like motor oil, but not never drink gas.

    I think they're just trying to blame the transformers.

    Screw this kid, I'm gonna transform and roll out.

    It is exceedingly unlikely he drank more than a sip if he did it repeatedly. Organic solvents generally produce liver failure quite rapidly; in even minute quantities, if exposure is chronic. The only one that doesn't kill you, like pronto, is ethanol, because our intermediate cellular metabolism is designed to run on two carbon chain substrate, and it is a two carbon chain alcohol.

    GAH I've been WAITING for a transformer story so I can tell this story. And it's related to kids! Ah crap I'm probably too late and no one will read this but here it goes.

    So my little cousin from overseas has come to stay with my family and I for the summer. I took him to see Transformers 2 in IMAX which he really enjoyed. After the movie as I'm driving him home, he says something at first I didn't quite understand, because he's shy so he doesn't project out. I ask him to repeat what he said. Puzzled, he asks, "Do all autobots have to be chevorlets? I laughed and responded, "When GM pays pays the autobots several million dollars for they movie they have to be." Ahhh the innocent observations made by children...

    When I was a kid I wanted to be like Steve McQueen after seeing The Great Escape and Bullitt. It wasn't until I saw Le Mans that I actually wanted to be like him though. I refused to wear anything but corduroy jackets and turtle necks. I always made motorcycle sounds whenever I was on my bike. I was never without my baseball and glove. My teachers would yell at me when they would call on me because I refused to be known by anything other than the cooler king.
    It was never really a problem until I saw the movie Le Mans. That its when I realized the true power of Steve is in his Tag Heur watches. I got myself a paper route and eventually bought my first one and immediately unwrapped it and ate it. It was the best thing I had ever tasted though it cut my gums I was okay.
    The next day while on my paper route Mr. Samsons dog chased me just like any other day. Mr. Samsons street dead ends and there is a chain link fence separating it from the main street with a berm right along the fence. Finally was my chain to be Steve McQueen. I summoned my Steve power and pedaled away from the dog as fast as I could and hit the berm I felt my self lift higher than ever before. I just knew I was going to clear the fence and be free from the dog nipping at my pant legs. It didn't work I slammed into the fence cutting my nose and ripping my pants I collapsed into fetal position while the dog tore at my shirt sleeve.
    I wandered home dirty and bruised.
    I learned that day that movies are fake and I never tried anything so stupid again.

    Alright, this is so stupid.

    Transformers never ran on gas, they ran on energon! DUH!

    You can, however, convert rocket fuel into energon with the proper refining capacity, as we learned from the first three episodes of the original Transformers cartoon, the first of which aired on Sept. 17, 1984.

    Everyone knows this. What a stupid kid.

    I think the whole "reduced mental capacity" is a chicken and egg kind of thing. It has to be pretty reduced to start chugging the high test anyways.
