[Frumple]

Y'know, mostly your words just make me wonder if anyone's ever been stupid and/or intoxicated enough to actually do that. I know there's food served on fire so I presume there's booze on fire that isn't intended for arson, too. The question is if someone's been sufficiently low functioning to try to snort it.

E: Google seems to suggest that, at the least, no one's managed to make the news with an attempt. So there's that.

It's a slight step up from "The order of the blue flame" stupidity, so I am fairly sure somebody has been drunk/dumb enough to try it.

My own nephew was dumb enough to pour isopropyl alcohol all over his arm and light it on fire, thinking that the vapor rate would exceed the thermal transduction rate.  Thankfully he did not get seriously burned, but yeah.  Some people are not the brightest bulbs in the box.

Seems like a perfect case of "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing".  That he knew some of the concepts involved, and followed them to a counterintuitive conclusion, which *happened* to be wrong in this case.

Glad he wasn't badly burned.  I assume it's because he dropped and rolled when the flame on his skin was hotter than expected.

The new year begins with a storm

It's not really a wtf, we just lack a "things that made you feel romantic today" thread

[Egan_BW]

In recent years, most emotions can be summed up to WTF, I think.

GF stepped in the dogs' water bowl in the kitchen and spilled water around, something I've done a number of times (and part of why I started putting it on a bed of paper towels, along with catching the drips from normal usage). Ended up going from "calm" to "scalping time" in half a second. Apparently the floor is ruined and it's going to cost thousands and her evening is in shambles and it's probably my fault for not cleaning enough or something.

So I'm just taking an extended bathroom visit right now until things wind down out there. Hi y'all!

When in doubt poop it out.

That is indeed a wtf Kagus and I just reiterate that that sounds like an extremely unhealthy relationship and you deserve to not be in such a relationship.

It usually helps to place containers away from foot traffic.
Oh and slap dat bitch

Holy shit yes, tell her the door is still intact and functionning. Giving people shit for her own fuck up, wth.

...There are people on Bay12 who actually play Dead By Daylight?!

Although the new Smash Bros sounds pretty awful too, from what I'm hearing.   

Hearing from where?

The conversation about the game immediately prior to my comment?

Feels like a bit of a non sequitur given that no one in that conversation said anything about the game was bad. Just about the lack of taunting in online mode (which one person said they disagreed with).

Well, technically the screws holding the handle in place have come loose and you can't actually pull on it anymore without ripping the whole thing out of the wood... But if you're careful, the door does still function.

It's also 100% in her name, as she owns the apartment and all two of its doors. Even the windows!


I can't really do much about the handle because I'd need to have the door open in order to do that, and we can't have the door open for any length of time when it's messy inside, because people might see. And it's always messy inside.

She didn't actually give me shit, but she got her "I'm not angry at you, I'm angry at this uncompleted chore which only coincidentally is assigned to you" voice and the available walking room in the kitchen is definitely hampered by the pile of paper/cardboard waste, which it is unofficially officially my job to take out, and I didn't feel like waiting around to hear that connection being made.

_{Although I can't actually take out the paper/cardboard waste right now, because it's sitting in a couple cardboard boxes that she apparently has plans for? I dunno.}


I mean, the floor's kinda shit anyways, especially in the kitchen, and it's always been a long-term plan to replace it with something a bit better and more water-resistant than those snap-into-place laminate platters... But she's got this hangup about wetness getting into the floor because the floor doesn't tolerate wetness very well and it was a really long and exhausting day putting it all in, so if anything gets ruined then everything gets ruined and she'll have to do it all over again. She also sorta has a tendency where if something bad happens, it's the worst thing it could ever possibly be. Also most likely targeted directly at her personally because the universe hates her and she's perpetually unlucky and everything bad always happens to her. Again, didn't want to be around to hear about it.

She was kinda all over the place yesterday... Seething fury to cute-talking the dogs to frustrated sorrow to more rage. Probably the stress of today being her first day back at work since the 21st.

Edit : Well, shit. I have so many questions but I have to recognize it's ultimately not my business. Franckly I feel for you and wish you the best

Do you plan on marrying her one day?
