As another public safety announcement to young uns on here lemme tell y'all something.
I shared a trailer house with two buddies for my first step into the adult world. We were given a microwave/convection oven or maybe toaster oven i cannot recall.(THIS appliance will play an important role in this safety announcement) Having a place of our own we of course felt it was necessary to invite some our closest friends over. By this I mean of course 15-100 of our closest friends. After this evening of socialness I awoke and at roughly 4:00 that afternoon and felt that a ham and cheese hot pocket was needed as sustenance. Apparently I attempted to drink my weight in various forms of alcohol( I should've chosen my I.Q. a much lower number.
Anyway, somewhere during the previous nights events, someone felt the need to switch from microwave to convection oven and turn the temp all the way up. I did not notice this for some unusual reason....
I joined my roommates and the guests that had awoken from their slumber in various locations throughout our domicile. There was a very serious session of 007 Goldeneye going on and it would've been rude to stay in the kitchen and ignore our guests.
Well.....let's say the hotpocket was completely forgotten about until one of the slightly less hungover guests noticed that the smoke drifting in was not from the Woodstock as we all decided that this was the culprit previously was not from the wood stove.
This is how I learned that a hot pocket if left unattended, but more importantly a hungover individual left unattended, can thoroughly destroy a plastic plate, permanently fuse a hot pocket sleeve to said plate, and render a hot pocket totally unfit for human consumption ( more than it already is, still love me some hotbpockets though)by charring it inside and out to the point that the only way to see "what it looks like on the inside" is to use the hatchet for splitting kindling and open 'er up.
Sorry to hijack thread and draw this out. I guess I could have simply said, If you have a house party, check your appliances before use. Oh ya and your smoke detectors. We had them we just took out the batteries because the smoke from the wood stove kept setting them off.
