Better yet, Minister of Ducks! It'll be our way of weeding out the stupid.

Cut to royal hearld blowing trumpet and anouncing, "Blast, Minister of Ducks!".

Guy looks around. "Why is everyone crouching down?"

BOOM!

Smart people stand back up and wipe off gooey bits. Party continues, now free of stupid person.

-Blast, dreaming

um, is this more like a 3 way sort?
1 Stupid = converted to gooey bits,
2 sort of paying attention and reasonably with it = covered with gooey bits
3 fully prepared = not covered with gooey bits and ready to party with the minister of ducks

Just because I sent you male cheerleaders, I kept the females. Didn't want you i trouble with the DW. grin

When around Blast, be ready to run - FAST - away from him.

One of my favorite post-hurricane supplies is aluminum cans of water. At least in Florida, Budweiser just switched their plant to can water for a while and donated it. Cue Budweiser vs. water jokes.

Once, as a result of a pretty major earthquake, I came into possession of a case or three of those white painted cans of Bud water. Saved them for another "emergency." A few months later they bulged and some blew. I have always wondered why...

Exactly my point, which is why out at the blind we say duck if the flock is coming in, and kneel if Grandad wants to take a shot and is still sitting on the bench. It got to be a habit, so cue the "kneel" order anytime Blast has a big smile on his face, or is acting excited about something. grin

Oh, an oil refinery could be fun, too.

Technically, as King, I would be entitled to the [female] cheerleaders. However, considering I have the Queen to myself I won't be needing them. God Save the Queen.

On the other hand, as Supreme Dictator for Life I am personally responsible for your spiritual welfare.

I will grant you the oil refinery, in keeping with your title of First Chemist, not as Minister of Demolitions. Save that for your fiefdom in Nevada.

Wow. Are you sure they didn't freeze? That's the only think I can think of that would cause that. Botulism needs something to "eat" besides water...
