So LSM is your personal preference for cosmoline, vasoline or K-Y jelly?

I have heard about vileness coming from people, but never have ran into anyone as vile & degrading,abhorrent, or as repulsive as you.
I thought that you might have one redeeming quality, but I was mistaken, the closest thing to redeeming about you I can find is that you're more than likely posting from under a rock with grub worms crawing all over you. The redeeming part of that is that the grub worms are more worthy & hopefully you haven't eaten them.

Its most common use is in the storage and preservation of firearms. Previously, cosmoline was used to preserve other things. Objects the size of entire vehicles could be preserved for future use with cosmoline.

If you relly were only talking about cleaning &/or lubricating firearms, then I owe you an apology & am doing that. I know & undestand about gun safety & I know how to aim & shoot, I don't know the first thing about cleaning a gun, my husband does that.[/quote

Don't apologize. Any inference you made from Dys' comments were meant just the way you thought. His style is to make vague statements so he can act the angel later. It's his MO and apologizing only emboldens him.

I cannot understand why you keep associating Neanderthals with unpleasant behavior. There is no basis, in the archaeological record, to assume that the members of that hominid species were any more or less pleasant than any other hominid.

Really stupid metaphor. Usually, Neanderthals is slang for righties who live in the past.

That doesn't give anyone a warrant to assume that they were bad people, or unpleasant people. Your basic ignorance is breath-taking.

I don't need a warrant to form an opinion.
I'm not a whore nor do I run a bawdy house but that hasn't stopped people from saying such....speaking of ignorance. Nor am I meggatato, or whatever, nor possum, but people took warrant & assumed.

Popular literature has tended to greatly exaggerate the ape-like gait and related characteristics of the Neanderthals. It has been determined that some of the earliest specimens found in fact suffered from severe arthritis. The Neanderthals were fully bipedal and had a slightly larger average brain capacity than a typical modern human, though it is thought the brain structure may have been organized differently.

In popular idiom the word neanderthal is sometimes used as an insult, to suggest that a person combines a deficiency of intelligence and an attachment to brute force, as well as perhaps implying the person is old fashioned or attached to outdated ideas, much in the same way as "dinosaur" or "Yahoo" is also used. Counterbalancing this are sympathetic literary portrayals of Neanderthals, as in the novel The Inheritors by William Golding and Jean M. Auel's Earth's Children series, or the more serious treatment by palaeontologist Björn Kurtén, in several works including Dance of the Tiger, and British psychologist Stan Gooch in his hybrid-origin theory of humans.

None of that is germane to how demonstrably ignorant you are--you so frequently shoot your mouth off and show clearly that you don't know what the Hell you're talking about.

Your inferential slur of Neanderthal man is an example. I see that you ran off to get a quote from Wikipedia, but didn't bother to acknowledge that with a citation.

If you had actually read the Wikipedia article, you'd have seen this:

So, as i pointed out, you consistently demonstrate your ignorance.

Setanta, are you suggesting that using the term "neanderthal" as an insult, or as a descriptive term is somehow a misuse of the term?
