2. I used to live in Chino Hills - in the aptly-named 'Carbon Canyon'.

Almost got burned out of our house the first year we lived there. :scared: We only lasted for about 18 months before I got transferred to NoCal.

3. Shitting on the rich!

:evilgrin:

22. Housing for the Rich Costs At Least One More Digit (maybe 2) in CA

$750,000 isn't even close to "Rich" housing in the SF or LA area.

Check out the For Sale signs in a wealthy neighborhood here.
That's not the telephone number, it's the price!

23. you're right.. It should have been multi-million $..

:)

26. Which makes the aforementioned shitting all the more gratifying. (nt)

4. Sounds great

:scared:

5. I think this post is a bunch of BS!

Or would that be cow sh*t? ;)

6. I'll take Vietnam Flashbacks for $200, Alex

The smell of burning shit might trigger Nam Flashbacks in some of our more susceptible veteran population.

7. There's a W joke in here, somewhere....

I wish I had the energy to look for it.

[htuttle]

10. "Many more spontaneously combusting piles of BS expected in next 4 years"

How's that?

[demnan]

8. My question is

if talking bullshit all day long isn't harmful to your health, is breathing it bad?

[hippiechick]

9. Ok, so it's not hitting the fan ...

... but it is, literally, a flaming pile of shit.

Could this be the omen some have been waiting for ?

:shrug:


:hippie:

[nostamj]

16. get * to stand on it with a bullhorn

11. New suburb: The Glenn at Caca Fuego.

12. What a crock

I've worked with livestock for over forty years and have never seen manure burn even if you try to light it off.

[SoCalDem]

13. Um...have you ever been to Chino???

These are MOUNTAINS of shit.. they produce methane, and contain lots of ummm "fiber"... They DO catch fire here :(

[SoCalDem]

18. A picture taken just before sun-up..it's a 2 Acre fire at this point

[nini]

15. it's all over the news here

it is indeed burning.

[Sabriel]

14. I don't remember "flaming shit piles" in Revelations

Did I miss that sermon?

17. Carbon Canyon

used to be a dump. We used to haul our trash up there from Imperial Highway just before you get to the Brea mall.

[Richardo]

19. Did they build the golf course on top of it?

"Western Hills CC"?

[Aiptasia]

20. IDK

it's been years since I lived in the Placentia/Yorba Linda area, but if I lived in Carbon Canyon, i'd be wary of the ground water/drinking water.

21. I don't get it around here folks spread it into the fields plowed for ....

next years crops. Why would they just collect it and not use it? Could this stuff be the dried manure we buy for flowers and gardens. That will burn like peet moss.

Oh the fresh smell of manure on a summers night.

[SoCalDem]

25. There are NO crops grown here.. Chino "used to be" country

but malls, and housing developments have encircled the dairy area, and they have nowhere to put the doo..:(

Lots of dairymen have actually moved upstate, herds and all, because of the congestion..

[illflem]

28. Most all manure is composted and sold as a soil amendment,

even mainstream conventional farmers use it. Added profit for cattle man.
Very surprised it would catch on fire unless it was more or less abandoned and very dried out.
A guy who claims to be the last big dairy farmer from the Chino area moved his entire operation to a few miles from me in Montana a couple years ago.
Last time I drove though Chino years ago the place smelled like shit, a fire might be an improvement.

24. Did Rush Limbaugh Catch Fire???

:-)

[SoCalDem]

27. Nope.. He's a GAS Bag..not a SHIT pile

Close though :)
