Today I learned that 6 warehouse store sized cans of frozen orange juice left in a car for 3 summer days will create a god fucking awful fermented fruit stench. And that apparently it takes 2 days for it to soak through the cardboard if it's in the cheap containers with only metal on the ends. And that if you think you smell a faint fermented fruit smell on your way to work, pull over to find out why. Even if you're running late and even if you could swear you haven't had any fucking fruit in your car. If you don't, you'll come out of work to find a horrid fucking fermented fruit stench where once there was a faint odor.

Oh, and don't take your mother grocery shopping in your own car.

What did you learn today?
 
I learned that biscuit dough cans (the kind you pop) if left in a hot car for 3 hours will explode, creating a projectile of dough that will probably break the car window.

I dunno, I saw it on the Discovery Channel.

Mythbusters? :D

Yes!

I'd never ever seen that show before - what a hoot!

The biscuit stuff was right after they tested an airplane toilet to see if this lady really got stuck. Did you see that? They made a "tester" and the guy actually sat on it, bare buns, and when they turned on the - ahem - suction, he started laughing and shouting because I guess it felt really - ahem - good.

A serious blowjob. :D

I may have to find that show again sometime.

I've only watched Mythbusters once or twice, but I liked it those times.

The golden rule I learned today: Do NOT attempt to fix the leaky pipe under the sink yourself, instead, call your landlord. If you don't, bad things will happen.
 
I love Mythbusters. That's what I wanna do when I grow up. :D

Hell, woman! When anything breaks call your landlord. That's the one thing landlords are good for! :D (unless you or your drunk friends put holes in the wall, those fix yourself. ;))

Spackling. Works on plumber's butt, too.

(Witnessed. Not on me. If someone sees my butt it's becaused they're being mooned.)

I know, I know... :( I'm just so sick of calling him. Last week, the thermostat was broken (cooled down until 60 every night). Before that, one of the outside doors wouldn't close (and let all the heat and the ants in). Before that, the oven needed replacing.

HELP! I think this place is falling apart around me :eek:

And there's two Mormons living next to me, unerringly trying to save my soul. But those two are nice guys :)

Well, just don't tell them about Lit.

They'll camp out on your doorstep.

:cool:
 
Aside from Motorsports, the Discovery channel and it's affiliates are all the tv I watch. Mythbusters is great.

I had an ex-girlfriend who used to just love to invite in the nice mormon boys on their mission. But first she would put on a loose tanktop with no bra and put gay porn on the tv.

she had a pretty wicked sense of humor :D
 
I learned tilting at windmills takes a much greater mental/emotional toll than I am willing to pay.

I'm not good at miniature golf either.
 
I learned that I need to try and ge more sleep. I'm knackered and I've got to be off to work in a minute.

Never Ever spill milk in a car - if you do, you have 24 hours to sell it or you are stuck with it for life.

Didn't learn it today, but I can still smell it!

Learned it a LONG time ago, but the indelible lesson remains.

If you go out drinking ... and take your car ... make sure to check it as early as possible the next morning.

Puke turns to concrete after baking for 2 days, and your cousin will not help clean up the mess she made on the floor of the back seat.

And then, there's the smell ...
 
This was two days ago but...

NEVER trust your oven thermostate when you have scrubbed the numbers off the dial!

Black cinnamon buns are not eatable!
Never make tapioca pudding in 30 degree weather, with the oven on for cinnamon buns!

Learned along time ago, teach your kids to run and aim when it comes to tossing their cookies. Who ever barfs in my house, cleans it up themselves. (except when they were tiny and couldnt help it, Im not that mean! lol)

I've learned that nothing good can come from using a pop can as an ashtray.
Because of having a convertible, I can't exactly chuck my cigs out the window.
So I use an old pop can. :) Brilliant right? Wrong.

Only two things can come of this, and I've done both.

Thing number one:
When you finally go to remove the can because it needs replaced, you spill it.
Nothing smells better than Diet Coke soaked ciggy butts. Especially in summer.
Especially when it gets all over your seat. ;)

Thing number two:
You decide to use the pop can you've just finished drinking out of.
Always remember to remind yourself not to drink out of it once it's the ashtray.
Then, proceed to take a swig anyways. :rolleyes:

:) You always learn the best lessons the hardest way. :D
