HAH. Me too, but I only put the Marathon Double Defender on the front - hey, they're expensive, but so far, so good.
I've had slime work, I've had it fail. When it fails, it isn't worth the cleanup to try (I say try) and patch it. Anyway, if there's something in the tire causing the original puncture, it is going to do it again, until you find and remove it.
I come up with a different flat tire theory every month. The Marathon is the current theory, and it's working.
