Happy Thanksgiving!!!! - A Warning

[Mark Hofman]

The turkey shot out of the oven

and rocketed into the air.

It knocked every plate off the table

and partly demolished a chair.



It ricocheted into a corner

and burst with a deafening boom.

Then splattered all over the kitchen,

completely obscuring the room.



It stuck to the walls and the windows;

it totally coated the floor.

There was turkey attached to the ceiling

where there'd never been turkey before.



It blanketed every appliance.

It smeared every saucer and bowl.

There wasn't a way I could stop it!

That turkey was out of control.



I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure,

and thought with a grin as I mopped,

that I'd never again stuff a turkey

with popcorn that hadn't been popped.

MOrtha Stewart you aint!!!

 

[Rob LaMoy]

Therapy MO.....get some....get LOTS! LOL

 

[Chad Mitchell]

What about poprocks?

 

[Bill McElroy]

Man have I got a story about those!! (Save it for the Rally,.....i WILL NOT even go there on this board!!) LOLOL

 

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

Ohhhhh Do I know where you are going with that Mac......Don't forget ice cubes, altoids and akla-selzer.



TOXIC

 

[Bill McElroy]

I said I'm NOT going there,......this place is no place for science experiments!!! Someone could get hurt...geeez!!!

 

[Staci Matheis]

Another reason to be thankful that I don't cook anything more complicated than Banquet TV Dinners!



I may be pulling a "Rob", but.....

What are "poprocks"?



me!

 

[Rob LaMoy]

Scott, I'll send you some but you can only take them with soda for safety reasons OK????? LOL You have to quickly swallow about 4 or 5 packs and then slam a pepsi! the experience will be euphoric.

 

[Staci Matheis]

Are those the fizzie kinda candies that I've seen at the grocery store checkouts?

Not having any kids and being a diabetic, I don't pay much attention to that kind of stuff.....



"Euphoric", Rob?

You have a strange sense of what is euphoric!

 

[Rob LaMoy]

Dang.....almost worked! I can just see Scott, fizzing/blasting his way around the room, purple poprocks shooting out his mouth, ears, nose, arse etc!

 

[Staci Matheis]

Just as dangerous - but not as aromatic - as the Toxic Furry!

I always did want to be dangerous to someone other than just myself!

 

[Bill McElroy]

Do exactly as Rob says,...but he left out the MOST important step......on a TRAMPOLINE!!!!!..LOL

 

[Staci Matheis]

Maybe they'll let me do it on "The Man Show".....

That'll impress the Juggies!

 

[Bill McElroy]

or NASA!!! LOL

 

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

You mean you are supposed to EAT pop rocks?!?! Dang.....



TOXIC

 

[Mark Hofman]

It's been too long ago...it might of been calcium pellets.



Hint: Whatever that cup of stuff was, it reacts with water to produce hydrogen gas.

 

[Mark Hofman]

Oh, wait! Now I remember!....



Q. What do you get when you flush a cup of pure calcium pellets down a high school toilet, followed by an emptied Tylenol gel cap filled with linseed oil and a small slice of pure sodium!



A. Two weeks of forced vacation and a $700 repair bill from the School District.

 

[Staci Matheis]

And THIS is who we have leading Boy Scouts..........

 

[Mark Hofman]

Now, did I ever indicate that I was personally responsible for this particular science experiment? Noooooo......!



It was my good friend, Mike, who later became a nuclear reactor operator in the Navy. Those early chemistry experiments - and subsequent discipline - stood him in good stead when he became part of the Deep Blue Crew.



Now that I've said that, I will NEVER reveal who brought the idea up in the first place.

 

[Greg Meyer]

Mo... There was a very good "historical" reason why I was such a successful policeman... I belive the phrase..."been there...done that" fell from my lips on more than one occasion.... So, I do understand... The making of legends...

 

[Staci Matheis]

Meyer's hallucinating again.....
