Non Impediti Ratione Cogitationis
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.

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
