Sealing doors and windows, then turning on the gas. He probably wasn’t a detail man because he forgot to turn off the pilot lights. The explosion blew him out his second story window. He landed in the street in front of his apartment. He was successful at killing himself, but he didn’t envision that ending.

He was bipolar and would go off his meds. At times he would just stand there, all glassy eyed and grinning broadly. He hated the Lithium they gave him, and I guess he couldn’t see living that way for decades to come. When he was medicated he was a good guy.

... but doesn't turning on the gas when the pilot lights are lit just result in the stove or oven lighting? Or did he disconnect the incoming gas line and let it spew before it reached the appliances?

I remember having to match light the oven. That was always a little thrilling. He probably turned on the gas to the oven without snuffing out the stove top pilots.

The pilot lights it replaced lit everything - the burners, griddle, oven and broiler. We still have that wonderful old stove because I'm so fond of it, but we have induction in the kitchen now.

You call for a complete boycott of Mars, or at least of M&M's. Do you mean to include yourself? Because you just bought (I assume you paid for them) a package of M&M's and smashed them. M&M's makes the same amount of money if you buy and smash them as they do if you buy and eat them. Do you recommend that everybody buy a package, smash them, and then boycott them?

Seriously, I met a couple hobos on a frieght train once back when me and my buddies used to hop
frieghts to Seattle from schools in Oregon, and one had a refridgerator box and he was so proud of it.
They are a lot warmer than without one.

and potentially creating an unhealthy situation for himself and anyone around him?

That is just stupid. Look, the agency that monitors air quality released information based on research, that gas ranges can create potentially hazardous conditions in people's homes. They recommend moving away from cooking with natural gas and one employee of the agency spoke somewhat rashly about proposals to deal with the situation.

If you want to waste your money and potentially kill yourself, that doesn't make me cry. It just means soon, one day, an idiot who calls himself Cat Shit, will no longer be around to create an ass of himself.
