And hey, once you're used to brushing your teeth with it, why not just drink the stuff...

Nearly the same as a six pack of Zima...

Good point.

Save money! Just prime yourself by drinking one sixpack of Zima, and then put the ol’ system on recirc and party all night...

when the smell of ammonia becomes pervasive

Wonder if you can use urine to make ammonia-fuel explosives.

My uncle used to to coop farming — he’d farm land for people who had land but didn’t know how to farm, and they’d split the profits. He tells a story of being out fertilizing some dude’s field, and the dude comes out of his house and starts giving him lip about some stupid stuff. He said when he finished the field he just made three passes around the fellow’s house, and within a week the grass was waist high.

I believe the original ‘match’ was created using urine, and for many, many years a sufficient supply of the golden flow was needed for production.

I've tried this, but no matter how much beer I'd drink, I could only irrigate & fertilize a few acres.

Ah, go ahead. A lot of plants especially orchids get fertilized that way in Hawaii.

I love his recipes, I’m not using all kinds of nasty chemicals on my fruits, veggies, and herbs.

I hear ya. An old trick that nurseries use sometimes is to take a pinch of epson salts with a lot of water like a gallon per small pince and put it on their plants to make them bloom. Just a very tiny amount will do with a lot of water. And don’t forget to leech, leech and leech your plants every so often. This rids them of salt and other crummy buildup.

Time to come in before I get pissed off!

If it turns to ammonia, that’s probably why. Ammonia cuts grease very well. If I have clothes or pillowcases that are perspiration stained, I soak them in clear ammonia over night and pour off the liquid in the morning and you’d be amazed at what comes out. I used plastic buckets; the kind that you can get from the bakery dept in any supermarket. All they do is throw them out anyway.

I hear it works for squirrels, too. I read it somewhere on a FR thread of all places.

Nothing unusual about the topic, but the comments are priceless and therefore qualify for your list.
