What's the fuzzy stuff that sometimes grows on strawberries?

Is it mold or mildew or something else?

Most important, is it harmful if swallowed?

I'm using a Century SA with Christie AW3R platter system. Hope this helps.

Manny, how many feet does the fuzzy stuff have? [Big Grin]

Manny,

What on earth does a fuzzy strawberry have to do with a Century SA?? Is this an inside joke?

Please tell me the name of the pills/powders you have taken tonight so I can do some research. [Razz]

BTW, I really like your new pic.

It's mold.

hummmm, mouldy [Roll Eyes]

Mold is good if you like cheese or penicillin.

Yummy...maybe you should try stuffing the moldy strawberry into the AW3R Platter brain and see if its helps. If not you could always try putting it in your Century SA, I heard it makes great film cleaner when used properly...better then Film Guard!

StrawberryGuard. Hides the vinegar with a fresh berry scent!

People walk into your theatre and breathe deeply as they smile/pass out. Some people are allergic to strawberries! SG, used as directed, will clean the mold off of your HVAC ductwork, too! People entering your theatres will think you are selling strawberry shortcakes at the concession stand.

Century SA's use strawberries in the intermittent to make them run ever so quiet.

I want some of Manny's drugs....

Oh, I get it...moldy strawberries to cut that stale-popcorn smell that pervades many a projection booth. Must be better than a fishy-smelling xenon lamphouse! [Big Grin]

I wasn't sure whether to include that info but they always say "be sure to let us know the specifics of your equipment so we can help you better" on these forums...

They are colonies of micro-beings, like Sea Monkeys, only more tiny, cute, intelligent, & playful.

I dont think that this is the equipment that they wanted to hear about...

I'm still pondering the meaning of Manny holding those plaid boxer shorts behind his head.
