I've heard it called hooch, screech, white lightning....... but never "POND WATER"!

I like code names for stuff.
That allows the RCMP officer some discretion whether or not to put me in the back seat of his car.

Although I get mad when I have clearly yelled "Shotgun" and they still put me in the back...

rather have pond water as long as it is like fire water

Hey, have you ever seen "Firewater"? My kid sister lived by a lake, and their well water contained methane. You could fill a bottle with water, cap it, and then hold a match near the neck as you opened it. The water would actually burn as the methane gassed off!

Well, I'm off to the big swamp for a few days. Heading to Point Pelee on Lake Erie for a mini-vacation. Will take pictures. See if they download.

Wow that would be a little scary. So what did they drink? or could they drink it when it gassed off

Methane in well water is common here in Alberta.
It's not a health hazard unless there is a shed built over the well head where the methane can build up and cause an explosion hazard.

Nothing like having a little fun with methane!

firewater is what Chief Hicks of the Cherokee Nation in NC calls alcohol that we drink .I was amazed when speaking to him that they still referred to it by it's old name .

Thanks Mitch, never heard of it. We just have normal everyday well water. A little acidic, but tastes darn good

I always like it when a potentailly toxic thread turns into light hearted banter.
It speaks highly of the people involved.
Well, except for me, lol.

That's because the toxin was removed......

Fun with methane..... That sounds like a Sheldon & Amy webisode from Big Bang!

 

[MitchM]

What is Big Bang?

Here in America @MitchM we have a thing called television, and on the television we watch stories...

It's a show about four super smart, super nerdy friends - very clever and funny. Love that show!
