Do not try this at home. A small collection of DIY projects for future Darwin award nominees.

Disclaimers: The "try" link is kind of gross. NSFLunchtime. If the "at" link sounds like a good idea, read the comments. The "home" link is also gross. Don't do any of these.

  • When I was younger (so much younger than today), I made gunpowder. I looked up the recipe in the encyclopedia. I went to the chemical supply warehouse for the sulfur, the hardware store for the potassium nitrate, and used charcoal for my carbon. I was not stupid, so I used an extention cord to run the blender outside the house, to grind and mix the ingredients. Ultimately, I was successful. I created an explosion that launched a metal pipe into the air. After an unknown number of seconds, it plunged to earth and buried itself in the ground. A lot of things became very clear at that moment, and I stopped my gunpowder project. Do not try this a home.
  • The blood scarf is pretty! Upon consideration of my winter wardrobe, however, I feel I must knit a urine scarf.
  • The others have some veneer of rationality, but the scarf is clinical.
  • I would like a scarf that slowly fills with my hatred for George Bush, which exceeds that hatred any of you display, because your political views are infantile and you are stupid, stupid, stupid.
  • We have a winner...4 posts until a "Bush am dum" derail.
  • > The blood scarf is pretty! Should hook up the other end to an artery. It would work better as a scarf.
  • I would like to knit a scarf from poop and make let George Bush wear it.
  • ROFL.

  • *thumps sb's irony meter several times*
  • I pissed people off with a couple of personal attacks, and later apologized. Later on, there's this comment, a little turd dropped into an unrelated thread. I find it ironic that the thing that I did that offended people, is being used in some attempt to get back at me, by one of those people. I understand that I went to far, which is why I apologized for it. I understand that, because of what I said, people saw me as immature, spiteful, a prick. That is ample motivation, apparently, to join me on that level in order to attack me. This is the irony you refer to, isn't it? I thought it was funny too. ROFL indeed.
  • I strongly believe that the comment which upset you here was not at all aimed at you, but merely a riff off the say-something-nasty-about-Bush-in-every-thread meme that has been prevalent lately. Maybe I'm mistaken; hope not.
  • I personally believe, quite rightly, that the former comments of varying threads were neither well-interpreted nor intended and therefore are ROFL level irony of it is understandably prefabricated on shaky ground. Fish tick is undeniably mistaken yet stirred to action albeit smallish in bear form. Which is nice.
  • Fish Defends Dog in Bear Attack. Film at 11.
  • *tic*
  • ROFLMAOSHTIS
  • *checks scorecard* So wait, that means...nope. *checks scorecard again* Still nothin'. *scratches head*
  • I think it's an E-5, but then I'm in the cheap seats.
  • Must these be dropped in every thread?
