Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2009: "modified bitumen roofing tar" & "Hugh Jass"
Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By David_Cockey on Sunday, August 23, 2009 - 01:26 am:

In the last hour or so someone has posted messages in a number of threads about using "modified bitumen roofing tar" for various purposes. Some are plausible, others clearly not, but all are written to fit with the previous discussion in the particular thread.

They are using the unregistered name "Hugh Jass" which according to www.urbandictionary.com is "Used as a fake name in any given situations, usually on the internet or a prank, Hugh Jass is meant to sound like "Huge Ass" during when said during everyday speech." It may have originated in a Simpson's episode.

So it looks like someone is really bored, want attention, and/or possibly trying to stir things up.

I can think of an excellent place for Hugh to pack some of that roofing tar, in fact 2 places. Better yet 3. I've heard it makes great keyboard lubrication.

I would say the fellow has the mentality of a small child and is hidden away in some basement where every night he fires up his Mac and becomes whoever he dreamed about the night before be hind the keyboard.
What the heck is bitumen roofing tar anyway?OH, I bet that is what he uses in his hair when he goes out on the town!

I presume Mike, Harry and Hugh are one and the same? Very clever but a bit juvenile on a forum comprised mostly of guys who outgrew this foolishness half a century ago.

Maybe he should smear some modified bitumen roofing tar on his "Hugh Gass" and he wouldn't have so much free time to screw with others.

David, Huge is married to Amanda Hugankiss and I purchased a large antique oak desk from them. It was advertised as being suitable for a woman with big legs and large drawers. So most likely Hugh has a Jr high School education and is rather proud of his abilitly to type but his punctuation is rather poor because he forgot the comma after the word woman. That would change the entire meaning of the advertisement.

I need to find out if Hugh is referring to Asphalt Bitumen, or Coal Tar Bitumen. I think I'll have to ask my old roofing buddy, Al Koholik.

This thread could go on forever and Frank attempted to end it. A man in my local is named Carl Weathers. When he ran unsuccessfully for mayor of my town, he claimed he was an actor. A pretend actor, maybe. He's the wrong race to the the famous actor, Carl Weathers. No joking, his son was named Stormey Weathers and his daughter was named Wendy Weathers, but I guess you had guessed that before you read it.

Paul, Ima Hogg was the daughter of one time Governor of Texas Jim Hogg. Her philanthropy and generous contributions to Texas was fenimonal and still lives on today. Anyone who visits Houston, Texas should make the tour of her mansion in the River Oaks part of Houston a must see event especially in the Spring when the grounds are covered in azaleas in full bloom. Her furniture collection in the mansion includes many original pieces made before the American revolution. The Wikipedia page you list above gives some great details of her philanthropic works.....but she was never our governor....Michael Pawelek

Michael,

I was born and raised in Austin. That is why I knew about Ima. I had forgotten that it was her father that was the governor. It has been a few years since I took Texas History in high school. You are correct that her mansion is a must see. I certainly was not trying to dis-respect her in any way.

Out went out and very quickly brought In back in. Their mother was delighted and asked Out how he had found In so quickly. "It was simple" said Out, "In stinct".

Back in my college days a fraternity brother and I made home brew beer and over the years became very good at it. Even in the begining it actually was pretty good. That’s been 30 years ago and he lives just down the road from me. We still make beer in three flavors, Stout (heavy), Pale ale (light)and diet beer (Hardly) that we give out during Christmas. Back then we both were taking a Russian History course so we named our beer after a famous Russian. The spelling changed for our benefit. In addition to this we had stamps made for our labels that we stamped on paper grocery bags, cut them out and glued them on the sanitized grolsch bottles. Included with the six packs was a brief history of our pretend family brew. The name of our beer "Yankenov" the tradition was passed down by hand from the Patriarch, Iben, to his four sons and daughter, Heben, Theyben, Weben, Uben and Shecantben. In fact this brew has been done by hand from the beginning of time. With three Flavors, Heavy Yankenov, Light Yankenov and the less filling, Hardly Yankenov, In fact if you don't like Yankenov... well you probably haven't tried enough. Limited Quantities are available in some areas. Start slow, finish fast, enjoy the ride.

We have a dentist in town named Dr. Payne. I don't go to him.

Seeing that last one made me think of Peter Pain in the old Ben Gay ads. It seems to me that I recall the product name being Bengué at one time, but I didn't find any record of it with google search. Anybody else remember that?

Steve, I found this:

"There’s no doubt about it, products and companies with simpler names have an easier time of it. A good example is the product Bengay, a well-known analgesic heat rub to relieve muscle and joint pain. Previously the product was known as Ben-Gay, but long before that it was marketed as Baume Bengué, named after its French inventor, Jules Bengué. It’s perfectly understandable that the average Joe with an achy shoulder would be hesitant to walk into a pharmacy and ask for a tube of Bomb Bengooey or Bommy Bengway or Bowmy Bengoo. Chances are our average Joe would just order a heat rub with an easier name to pronounce, or maybe even just turn around and walk out of the store and go home and put a heating pad on his shoulder."

Try googling [bengay bengue].

For minor sprains and muscle aches, we recommend a pultice of modified bitumen roofing tar. Works wonders and has a nice, fresh scent.

(Where ARE you, Hugh?)

I'm not proud of myself for continuously returning to this topic.

I asked a doctor friend why nobody seems to prescribe pultices any longer. He agreed that it was a darn shame but had no idea why. Well, time to put on some dungarees and settle into the davenport with an ice cold, lemon phosphate, fresh from the ice box.

Erich, I think I'm a distant relatative of "Biggis Dikkis".

Yes, Eric. "He had a wife, you know?" "Incontinentia, Incontinentia Buttocks"
So glad I'm not the only fan of Monty Python here.

I thought that Incontinentia married her Roman cousin "Silliness Maxumus"

My college roomate was named Richard William. He was forever known as "Dick Bill" for the rest of his life.

So sorry to continue this mess but here are five more. There were the Greek gods; Hercules, Androcles, and Testecles. The two Greek tailors were Youripathem and Wemendothem.

On a cleaner note, there are two streets on Lake Jackson, Texas named "This Way" and "That Way".

My recollection of the Greek tailor was that the customer came in with a torn pair of pants. The tailor asked, "Euripedes?" and the customer answered, "Yes, Eumenides?"

I see most of the names, that are odd in real life, as a gift from the galactic joke writer.
For instance, John Wayne Bobbit, who had an appendage removed by his wife.
When I worked at the Richmond, Missouri paper,"The Daily News," I covered a special fire district election in the small town of Stet, MO.
Stet means "to keep" in newspaper terms and this town was kept stradling the line between two counties, divided north to south through the center of main street.
The winners of the election for the new fire district were three fireman named "Woods, Burns, and Waters."

And the Comoawanalaya and the Hafa Cana Tuna, then there are the Allfor Frees. When I was in College the SAE's were attempting to start a chaper and their temporary name was the Sigma Epselon Chi or in English S E X, they got their charter.
