It seemed to me that there would be a fine line between fizzy fruit and exploding fruit with the CO2inator.
Yay for rockstar P-C. Also, P-C has a nemesis? Does he have minions?
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ooh, this makes me want to try. I wonder if there's a way to get flamey fruit into the mix too....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have Monday off, but then again, so do the kids. Does that count as a day off or not?
I have grading to do. Isaac has a party on Sunday night. But we may end up going to Mt Baldy this weekend if it looks promising.

Can you fizz with grain alcohol? That'll give you flames galore!

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

Yeah, the article mentions that.
I really want to try fizzy fruit. I suppose I'd have to make my own c02intor....
ION, I am alone in our new office. Can't get our fancy network switch to talk to our cable modem. (Currently I have my work computer plugged directly into the modem.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Well I have done NO JOB STUFF, but I have 2 new light fixtures (oldish ones from my grandma's house) up, 2 sprinkler heads getting fixed, and my backyard got raked and the patio swept. Dad came over to help. YAY!
Now I should really do job stuff.

Sure, but it's not really FRUIT GO BOOM effect -- carbonation is just forcing CO2 into something at pressure; you can do it with whatever liquids you want although it may gunk up the machinery. (Any decently hackerish homebrewer and/or paintballer has probably tried years before soda machines got to be a yuppie thing)
Alcohol (like gasoline) pretty much only burns at the vapor stage, not as a liquid -- that's why flambeing stuff happens while cooking and not just out there in the wild. Whether it's carbonated or not is irrelevant to the burning behavior. Everclear just vaporizes more completely and easily than something that's half water.
OTOH fizzing fruit to the point of explosion is really just pumping them up too full. NOT GOING BOOM, which is what the part of my brain that watches way too much Mythbusters envisioned when I heard "exploding fruit".
I think we need some serious research into BOOM fruit.
Also, possibly in a slightly weird mood.

I'm pricing out airfare for Vegas to see my sister and her family at the end of April,
You should go at the beginning of May instead, when -t and I will be there.

When are you going to be there? I was planning on 4/28 to 5/2, and I'd have that Friday free, but maybe I can move it up a week!

I did one onerous task! (filled out and faxed in the FDSA form for last year.)
Now I should be doing work stuff, but instead I am doing some beta reading and contemplating what one should wear to a drag brunch, because Juliana and I are going here
