So evil squickens aside, life around here is almost never boring. This is because my roomie and I are both insane. I mean insane in that crazy fun way that involves submitting entirely to that completely random somewhat irrational side. Actually I should rephrase that... Our apartment is boring which results in us using the insanity that calls our heads home to relieve said boredom. Yeah. That's it. Right. So my parents used to own a convenience store, one that sold alcohol. Like Scotch. When they closed down the store much of the leftovers made their way into my humble abode. Let's just say that Josh and I aren't huge fans of scotch, this could be due to the fact that we both have tastebuds. Lots of them. It has been my experience that tastebuds and scotch do not mix. Needless to say, we had a bottle of scotch laying around and nothing to do with it. Until one fatefull night... We were bored...and both staring off into space. Then Josh spoke, "I wonder if scotch burns." I smirked and looked over at him. "I would think that it should." There was only one way to find out. So as Josh made a mad dash for the scotch I found a 9x13 cake pan. We poured out a goodly amount of the foul liquid, found a lighter, and turned off the lights. Behold. Blue flame. We were in awe. Then we started laughing as the stupidity of what we were doing hit us. We laughed hard. Then we decided to see what else we could burn that would be fun. We were doing this in our kitchen mind you. We ran around the kitchen searching for something to burn when we stumbled upon...yes you guessed it! Well, actually you probably didn't, but we found pop rocks! Yes they do still exist! Lemmie tell you pop rocks are great things to throw into a scotch fueled fire. They fly ALL over the place. Our next victim was a container of crystal light mix. This was very amusing as the crystals would light on fire as they drifted towards the flame and burn a nice magenta color. By this time the kitchen was fully 10 degrees warmer than the rest of the apartment. We had also succeeded in going through a half of the bottle of scotch! Oh happy day!! Our fun was had! We laughed so hard that we had tears in our eyes. Then we turned on the lights..... There was crystal light and pop rocks EVERYWHERE!!! We were still wiping things up a week later only to have the rag turn pink from crystal light dust. Moral of the story is.... The only thing scotch is good for is for entertainment when used as fuel for fire. Just don't burn anything with a powder like consitancy....unless you want your kitchen pink.
