And it all goes to pot.

And now we have a broken water main in the bathroom street.

Also, the alarm went off last night reportedly because someone burned a bag of popcorn.
...
A) who eats popcorn at three am!?
B) what do you have to do to a bag of popcorn for it to set off the alarm!?

And WHY does it sound and feel like the air is on?
(Hint: It isn't.)

EDIT Wow. Pops

A) I have done so in the past.
B) I have no idea.... XP

A) Me. College Students. People having late night movie marathons...
B) Burn the popcorn and then open the bag in the room with no windows open. This allows for a cloud of burntness to fill the room and set off the smoke alarms. Best way to avoid this is to open a window, hold the bag outside of the window and open the popcorn bag in the open air.

My roommate and I actually made a diagram last year to explain the proper way to open popcorn when in our room. Twas beautiful. It involved beautiful rainbow lettering, hand drawn popcorn bags, and some pictures from 1950s bomb shelter diagrams.

A) Touche. I should have specified, "who other than those which have discovered the sceret to life beyond REM"..
B) But... people would have to do that on purpose! Anyone under the age of sixty knows how to make popcorn properly! Or be really intoxicated. And I'm not going to make a statement about how no one in their right mind would be intoxicated during the busiest time of the year because, well. but still!

I still blame you.

BLAAAAAAAAAAAAME.

Popcorn tastes better around 3 in the morning.

[thejabberwock]

I assume it has something to do with having no common sense at that hour...

[fllmtlchcb]

Something to do with the inverse relationship of how tasty things are with how inane the activity.
