Never, never, never, never, never, never, ever.........

When we first moved to Ft Valley we had a fireplace. It was around 2010ish. Anyway I quickly learned that getting a fire going is a real pain in the ass. I also learned that pallets burn really good once you break them up small enough.
However... we were surrounded by a bamboo farm. So lots of dead bamboo laying around everywhere. What you don't do is throw bamboo in your fireplace. For one it stinks bad. But worse than that each individual section gets hot and then pops. When it does it sounds like a shotgun blast. And you already threw it in there . It's halfway burning so you can't pull this burning **** out and drag it across the living room outside.

LOL, Ft Valley GA?? That's where our property is.

WTH are "bedroom pants and bedroom shoes"?
Not sure if I'm appalled or intrigued.

Those only apply to people 60+....it's a boomer thing, you wouldn't understand.....

Pro tip - Icy hot is NOT a lotion. Just sayin'

But makes good jockey bombs....high school prank, squeeze some flexall 454 in someone's jock....that'll teach you to lock your lockers.

Put a bottle of Gorilla Glue in the microwave thinking it will behave like old honey and soften up.

It becomes a molten, sticky lava that spews everywhere when you try to squeeze the hot bottle. I swear to God it went everywhere. I was finding it in places I didn't touch (I swear I didn't touch!) 20 minutes later trying to clean it up.

Cost of lesson:

1.) My absolute favorite tee shirt in thirty years (from Arena Training Facility)
2.) My favorite pair of bedroom pants
3.) 1 Brand new pair of bedroom shoes
4.) Two catalogs (I was using as a work surface)
5.) Half can of Acetone
6.) 1 Entire roll of paper towels

Anyone else have a bright idea but later discovered it was about the stupidest, most costly thing you've done (in comparison to the cost of materials you used)?

That's sounds about like 50% I try to do for the first time. Count yourself lucky you didn't catch some on your naughty bits.

We used to live right off Hwy 96 on Firetower Rd. Lane Southern Orchard owns or leases all the property around it.
At one point when I first joined here we lived in an old GA Forestry Office. Still had the tower in the back yard. The building part was gone but the tower and steps went all the way up.

Entertainment for your ODT brothers........priceless!!......

It didn't "explode" until I attempted to squeeze some of the hardened glue onto the work area I was trying to glue to another piece.

Next time I'll just get off my lazy but and go to Walmart (I was on my way out anyhow to buy some Dijon mustard for a standing rib roast).

Well it is fun fixing stuff for nothing with stuff you already have

 

[basstracker89]

Well, thanks for the info ! You probably saved someone (or three) from embarrassing posts like this telling how they screwed up !! I am betting you ain’t the first !
I am glad no people or animals were harmed in this incident! lol

If I'd ever come home drunk and spewed on the wife, I'd post pics of that before I posted pics of the damage I did today with the glue, LOL.

On the wife................you wouldn't survive long enough to post anything............
