Hi Gang,

Schools just broken up for Christmas due to a minor accident I had in
the chemistry class.

I'm getting my special Millennium feature ready in the back garden.
It's going to be a theatrical spectacular of massive proportions
involving a choreographed display of ballet dancing by my sister Doreen,
who will be frolicking across a row of 25-gallon oil drums filled with
fertiliser and sugar, which will be detonated sequentially by a special
controller I've made out of a piece of wood and drawing pins.

Obviously safety is a big issue, so I've lined her tu-tu with tin foil
in case one goes off under her.

As a big finale, I'm going to blow up a pouffe. Not the actor type
though, but one of the see through inflatable ones filled with gas.


I'm so excited, I hope Santa brings my new 200PSI compressor and 300mm
air cannon. If he does, then I'm going to put a Xmas pudding into orbit
with lashings of custard.


Hope you have a nice time.

Try trimming the tin foil tu-tu with a series of gerbs. As the the gerbs go
off around her they could motivate the fertilizer bombs. Enjoy & Happy
Holidays.

PS Try napthalene bombs.

LOL!

I *have* known IRL situations similar, though, which is why it's funny I
guess. Some of the metalworkers in a circus group I worked with used to
regularly make trips to the burns unit after such drunken frolics as
inflating a condom with oxy-acetylene & setting fire to it...

...but then this was the same circus that took a 7.5 tonne lorry from
Manchester to Glastonbury with a cargo as follows:

* loads of highly flammable props, costumes, sculptures etc

* a stripped-down Citroen 2CV chassis & engine, with a full petrol tank
made of plastic

* 3000UKP worth of assorted pyros

* assorted welding gear

* and piled on top of all of the above, a load of cushions with about
eight people sat on them, smoking cigs the entire route.

I was fully expecting to see news reports about craters being found in
the middle of motorways
