Did I tell you my Sims story? :(

Re: Just like the Sims wanderingcherie April 11 2006, 01:03:59 UTC

No! Please do.

I tried to google it coz I remember writing about it before. Anyhoo. *sobs* It was very sad. I only played once, for a couple of days, and I accidentally murdered two of the characters when I built them a swimming pool but they ran and jumped in before I built them a ladder to get out, and they drowned rapidly. While they were in the pool (the dad of the family was in there too, but he went in last and I built the ladder in time for him to get out), all of them except the baby they'd adopted, social services came and took the baby ( ... )

"Mythbusters has already proved how difficult it is to start a fire in one of those, so hopefully the kitchens of the world will now be safe from the likes of me."

One fork and some olive oil and FOOMP.

Not that I'd have ever experimented with anything like that, of course.

(Metal and aerated sugar, ie, Peeps or other marshmallows, works well too... but for the best results, just use an aerosol can full of flammable liquid.)

A closed plastic flim can full of honey will do it, too.

don't ask

Ah yes. When warming up anything for... *stuff*, crack the lid to prevent a pressure blowout.

And flames. Flames are bad. Unless they're on purpose. And then they can be fun. But accidental flames are definitely bad.

speedie316 April 10 2006, 19:50:02 UTC

Yeah. I was like 9yo. The best part was when I tried to clean it up with a Brillo pad. Those little threads of metal stay in the scratches the pad leaves, and then they spark blue every time you run it after that.
I was an over-acheiver.

at least it wasn't your pants.

I set my son's pants on fire in the church microwave trying to dry them after he had an accident... apparently he had some metal things he had found in his pocket...
That was interesting to explain to the pastor:)

1 hot pocket put in for 12:22 instead of 2:22 + walking away to take phone call=fire in work kitchen and the fire department evacuating the building.

Having to tell the VP of the department it was your fault=priceless.

1 metal twist tie accidentally left on bread bag while trying to warm up bread...add to that one paper towel on the bottom of the microwave with grease on it from an unknown source (gross I know!) and Viola! fire in microwave...
It seems that Mythbusters has not met the likes of us!

Dan wants to add... glass bowl, gasoline, steel wool...

anubis13 April 11 2006, 02:01:45 UTC

Dear lord! Dan is one strange little duck.

chaostiny April 11 2006, 03:47:58 UTC

oh yes... strange doesn't even begin to cover it...:) But I still love my Dan:)
