Heh. In re: fire detection. We've set off the smoke alarm in El Casa Móvil De Pennington more than once while nuking some of Orville's best. Why is it I never learn?NOTE: I checked with SNOPES and this really does work.
With all the fear of radiation fallout from Japan, I thought it might be useful to tell you about a cheap, effective, homemade radiation tester you can easily assemble and rely upon.
Just follow these simple instructions:TAKE A BAG OF ORVILLE REDENBACHER MICROWAVE POPCORN; LEAVE IT ON YOUR KITCHEN COUNTER.IF IT STARTS POPPING, YOU'RE SCREWED
See? It's not just used for fire detection any more.
You know, the fake butter they put in there smells so horrible before it's popped, but so good after the fact.
ReplyDelete...I kinda like my pop corn a little burnt.
Nuthin' like the smell of burnt popcorn! I no longer nuke my popcorn. The old fashioned oil and popcorn in a pan is the only way to go. If we are going, might as well have good popcorn.
ReplyDeleteMatt: There's a VERY fine line between "slightly burnt" and "inedible." I can't ever hit that...
ReplyDeleteLou: I'm ALL about expediency these days.
NYUK! Linkin' over at Mr. FacedBook right now.
ReplyDeleteJiffy Pop! Easy and fun, and you control it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a purist, like Lou. Sadly, popcorn must be only an occasional treat these days.
ReplyDeleteAndy: I'm always glad to help Facebook out... at any time and in any way possible. Heh.
ReplyDeleteJim: I ate a LOT o' Jiffy Pop as a kid.
Moogie: That popcorn is an occasional treat IS sad, but I understand.
