Uou can also use a can of WD-40 and a lighter to cook those weinies. Instant open grill!  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Hairspray seems to work better. WD-40 leaves those black stroomels all over the weenies.  |  IP: Logged Steven Privett Expert Film Handler Posts: 208 From: Pasadena, TX, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-26-2002 07:30 PM                    If anyone needs WD-40, I have a cabinet full at the theatre. I lock it up every time it makes it's way into my boothes. Then I leave another note on the board that "it is not allowed in the booth". Then I leave a can of Tri Flow.  |  IP: Logged Rick Long Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 759 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Nov 1999 posted 01-27-2002 10:03 AM                     Two of my sons had summer jobs assembling theatre sound racks (rack assembly, component installation, rack wiring ect.). The warehouse they were doing this in was not air-conditioned, so it was common practice to open the loading doors for the day. This provided not only fresh air, but bees and wasps as well. As one of these things approached, they would squirt it with a mist of WD-40. As they described it "Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz bzzzz bz bz bz *thud*. Maybe the stuff does have a use afterall.  |  IP: Logged Danny Hart Film Handler Posts: 50 From: St Andrews, Scotland Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-28-2002 05:34 PM                     Erm, excuse me Brad and Paul, don't you think that what you are suggesting is HIGHLY DANGEROUS? Lighting flammable liquids from a potentially explosive canister? God almighty. I await the "oh, it's only a bit of fun, where's your sense of humour" etc response. I've seen it all now. I'm off. Ta Ta.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-28-2002 06:16 PM                     That's what the use of smileys are for, to help give emotion with the written text to show we are joking.  |  IP: Logged
