This is Why We’re Not Allowed to Microwave Popcorn Inside the D Offices

Well, not this, exactly. But the idea that Dallas Fire-Rescue could come up here (to be clear: they didn’t come here; if you click the link, you’ll see that happened at a retirement community) expecting a three-alarm fire and find little more than burned popcorn has now been added to the list.

  1. Is there any food that smells better or worse than perfect or burned popcorn? I had a co-worker that preferred it burned, and kept burning it even under threats of pain and/or death. He then mixed a bag of mm’s into the bag a charcoal he just created. He was not a well man.

  2. There is one thing: burnt pumpkin seeds.

    My housemates in college got the wise idea to “roast” them under the broiler after we carved a bunch of pumpkins for Halloween.

    Those little suckers will burn faster than you can say oh crap and they create thick black smoke and a stench that never leaves. It’s worse than the B.O. episode on Seinfeld with his car and Elaine’s hair.

    Never again!
