What is 'Emo Oil'?

Now, if it were oil from a totally squashed 'Elmo' I could applaud.

I hate Elmo !!!!!!!!! Nearly as much as I hate that bloody show on the idiot box of 'Everyone Loves Dickhead" or whatever it is called. Oil of ray romano would also appeal to me. I would feed it to an emu or a camel and then shoot the poor animal.

Apart from this I feel quite well and the headaches are minimal.

Try

[www.shell.com]

I didn't bother reading it but the top picture shows the Emo Distributer and in the second one he seems to be talking to a couple of young fellas who want to be emo'd (ie., pre-oiling).

Emo oil... That's not gonna stop the hinges whining. But I agree about Elmo completely.

I read the blurb - it's about using oil for home heating > Is there a rebate or tax cut or something for oil used for domestic purposes in the YUK? I remember 30 years ago in Kanbra people stopped using oil for heating when it began to cost $1 a gallon (4.5 litres). So what price do they effectively pay now?

Actually those two vertically underenhanced individuals are from the Health and Safety Inspectorate.

Do they grow into Locust Beanstalks if you throw them out the window? And what's at the top? A giant locust?

If you eat the right sort of locust you could probably see....

Bib: " <wonders what else could be turned into oil.......>"

Oil of Olay is made from bullfighters. Sewing machine oil is a good way of recycling old Singers and, of course, baby oil speaks for itself.

Now I'm really rattled.

Nigella tends to be well oiled before she even starts.

Ah, plate of the day.

Skinned Nigella, basted in oil, garnished with flakes of parsley, and served with chips. Tomato sauce optional.

Now I'd like to see that on Food Safari in a program.

My personal choice would be something involving Johnny Depp and chocolate.
