morning

Yesterday was migraine day. Today is recovering from migraine meds day. Can you say “blargle”, kids? I KNEW that you could.
My brain is completely muffled. Seriously, seriously foggy. But, here I am at work. Doing work. work work work work…
….
…….(drifts off for a moment)

Hm? What? Oh. Right. Work. Scripting. Jesus, I need more caffeine. Lots and lots of it.

At aaaaaaaaany rate – apparently Tam melted a stainless steel pot attempting to boil water yesterday. I had no idea that that was possible. But, I guess anything is, given the right amount of heat. Or distraction. Or some fatal combo of both (as is the case here).

Mare : you melted a pan?
Mare : a stainless steel pan?!?!?!!! (eleventy-one!)
Tam : supposedly
Mare : *blinks*
Tam : there’s quite a bit of debate out there whether that’s possible or not. But certainly I bought it thinking it was stainless steel.
Mare : Piffle
Mare : I hope that Mythbusters actually does it.
Mare : (postedy)
Tam : yeah
Tam : I’m thinking that the likely answer is that it was stainless steel *clad* aluminum, the heat make the steel brittle and allowed the aluminum to escape and leak
Tam : and make a mess
Mare : Probably so.
Tam : in any case, whenever I’m out that way, I’m taking the pot back to Academy and showing them
Mare : And whapping them over the heads and causing major head trauma? mmmm…head trauma… *blinks* Uh, what was that middle thing again?
Tam : lol…still a mite cranky?
Mare : Just feeling a bit off. And they endangered my favorite people/fuzzies. They die.
Tam : lol
Tam : I did hold the pot out away from me. But I would have held it out a lot further if I knew it was still actively dripping. I was in a state of amazement that a pot melted.
Mare : Yeah. that’s definitely a “that’s the damndest thing I ever saw” sort of moment.
Tam : lol…precisely

Helpful Hint #78

If you are traveling up the rain washed hill on the two lane highway…stay out of the left lane if you are going to suddenly drop speed halfway up. ’cause it scares me when I have to either slam on my brakes or swerve around you on slicky streets.

Holiday shopping is mostly done, thank gods and little fishes. I could say that I chose to do most of my shopping online in light of the recent mall-slayings. But that would be a lie. Mostly, I just despise the mall with a passion; people, for the most part, suck. Large groups of them make me nervous, unless we all happen to be drinking together.

All I have left to do is make the cookies and candy for everyone. Since you bitches didn’t vote – *I* am going to choose what to make. 😛
Eat it! Eat the fucking cookie!*

The Answer

EDIT I should know better than to post before I’ve had that all important second cup of coffee

My thermostat thingie that measures what the temp outside my vehicle in my car is broken. It won’t go below the answer.*

Whaddya mean, “What answer?”. THE answer. To life, the Universe. Everything. Srsly.
You people need to get out more.

* – Even tho it was 37 degrees F (according to the weather channel) where I live, the car’s thermo thingie would only say “42”.
