Um, you put water in the pot, right?
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Um, you put water in the pot, right?I had an ex who forgot this crucial point. We decided that if she couldn't even boil water, well I would cook exclusively.
Good deal, got me out of dishes most nights.

Now the smoke alarm is going off. From boiling water.
I've done this. Shoot, I set off the spoke alarm in Seattle just by pre-heating the oven. Hadn't even gotten to actual cooking anything yet.

Pot is full of water, yes.
In fact, I boiled the pot of water an hour or so ago so it wouldn't take as long to heat up when DH got home and none of this weird stuff happened, the water boiled, I turned it off all was well. I turn it on again and everything freaks out.

Well, I still don't know exactly what happened, but I have examined the pot. It's stainless steel and has a plate attached to the bottom somehow, and that has warped and separated. The burner it was on is covered in a fine ash.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Hi Bitches! I'm trying to decide whether to readdress an issue I'm having with a coworker. I used to work with a guy who was glum all the time. Anytime I asked him how he was doing he'd say, "not so good." When I finally discussed it with him he turned into a guy who was constantly asking me if he was cheery enough for me.
Now there's a guy who keeps touching me unnecessarily. I already told him to back off once but he keeps doing it, albeit less frequently. Now today he was telling a terrible personal anecdote about something that happened to him in Taiwan. I could see where it was going and I asked him please not to finish telling it in front of me but he kept on going.
I just can't decide if it's worth calling him on it if he's going to turn into the guy who's constantly asking me if his behavior is acceptable.

Well, if the bottom plate separated from the rest of it, that means it will transfer heat very poorly to the pot, resulting in it overheating, producing the smoke and ash.
So, who knows what initially went wrong, but once it did, your pot was sent careening down a dark path of destruction. And, um, smoke.

Sweetie, this is sexual harassment. You (or someone above you) should fire his ass. Screw calling him on it, report the behavior. The other guy you were talking about? Totally different story from this asshole.
And if I ever meet him, I will punch him in the nose.

No, that tag doesn't close.

I think I want to go as an Amy Brown fairy to the next Con.
Pete will disown you. If you want to go as a fairy, pick an artist who isn't quite so obviously ripping off inspired by other artists.
Or, to put it another way, find a fairy artist with an ounce of talent, and they'll still have an ounce more than Amy Brown.
Really.
I frikkin' hate her 8th grade fucking images. Absolutely talentless, pandering, creatively-bankrupt, gag-inducing, technically-flawed SHITE.
Yes, you may have spotted, I'm not a fan.
Her name is Amy!!
And that's the only thing she's got going for her.
YMMV. Grr.
