From the Random Thoughts Thread, spun off.

I was doing that Friday/Saturday... not often, but we had to test some things.

A test because we had:

65' of crackle fuse
65' of slow-burn fuse
100' of paper-fuse

We were using the fuse to wire up ... creations? ... like 3 x Golden Gate Spectacular, 1 x Roaring Lion, 8 x Sparkplugs and 2 x Friendship Flowers (stripped naked). And that's one of the relatively simple creations (though duct taping that together was fun.)

For California, it's not very safe nor sane what we created... but he lives right next to the fire department.

Michael will let you know if I don't survive the next 24 hours.


It is my solemn duty to inform you that Katas survived the event, unharmed. Our condolences go out to his wife, pets, family, friends, and coworkers.

On a happy note, Peach Milkshakes are in at Whitey's Jolly Cone Drive-In and I will be treating the non-widow to one before too long.

Spoiler:
Note: I am under orders from Mrs. Katas to tease Katas mercilessly whenever there is reason to do so. She loves her husband, and also loves to see him squirm.

If you ever wanted to understand it, your best bet is to hit Knob Creek.

Nor do I. I prefer things that go "Ohh! Ohh! Yes! Ohh! Yes! Yes! YES!"

Just sayin'

As far as I'm concerned, it's not an either/or proposition. I choose to have my cake and eat it too. :P

I had a different reaction.

It reminds me of an old bad Vietnam war horror story. Details are best left unsaid, but it wasn't a happy ending.
