Well, this was chronologically first, but you get the idea:
There are many instances in American culture of people drinking Sterno to become intoxicated. The earliest documented case is of notable bluesman Tommy Johnson in his song Canned Heat Blues. The practice is said to have become popularized during the Great Depression in hobo camps, or "jungles", when the Sterno would be squeezed through cheese cloth or a sock and the resulting liquid mixed with fruit juice to make "Jungle Juice" or "Squeeze".

That was on the History Channel, right?

Don't be silly. The History Channel only shows American Pickers, Pawn Stars, Only In America With Larry the Cable Guy, Ancient Aliens, Ice Road Truckers, and Monster Quest. Why would they show boring old history on the History Channel?

Yeah I remember the good old days when it was 23 hours of Hitler and one hour of George Washington Carver every day.

I'm not saying the Hitlery Channel was any better. But you'd think a topic as broad as history wouldn't have trouble filling program slots, would you?

That's like wishing for documentaries on the Discovery Channel.

THE KAISER ISN'T DEAD, HE'S JUST WAITING. IN THE MOUNTAINS. ONE DAY, HE WILL DESCEND WITH BARBAROSSA AND SAVE US ALL!

The thing about The Centurions is that they were all secretly Kaiserists. Linking their bodies to machines like that was the PERFECT cover.

I think Mummsie's new title should be Il Douche.

Yeah. Il Acido Detergente Vaginale is a bit too long.
