[smiley=alc.gif]Thomas ol' friend, have you & Perry been hittin' the Cookerator Juice again ??? [smiley=Drunk.gif]

As you read in my post of April 10 @ 11:28AM, mine has been diluted. Perry's is definitely full strength.

Alas the old footed #8 skillet I have been cleaning has become clean enough that I have discovered it is cracked. No fault of the seller. I didn't see it either.

The peasants are crushed.

I usually don't drink and that was no exception. I'd probably still be writing on that if I had been drinking.

C. Perry Rapier · « **Reply #22 on:** April 11, 2005, 10:56:55 PM »

John, I'm on a natural high, how about you?

Don't stop now Perry! We want the NEXT CHAPTER [smiley=icon_bananas.gif] [smiley=appl.gif] [smiley=clapping.gif]

C. Perry Rapier · « **Reply #24 on:** April 12, 2005, 06:41:45 AM »

Duke, thanks for the compliment. I am glad you enjoy the humor and know its not real.

The rain and the rumble of thunder has kept the peasants away today. I missed the rose petals. Streaks of yellow pine pollen decorate the cookerator as if it were crying yellow tears.

Should I wash it off?

If the peasants see it they may weep as well.

T.C. You must keep the cookerator clean, shiny, and in working order, lest the peasants lose hope, now get out there, clean it off, move some stuff around, put some stuff in it, take some out of it, check the ph level, see how many amps you're running, check the water level, and in general make like you're doing something. Have you got a stove in your outbuilding where you can send out puffs of smoke and let the peasants know whats goin on?

I believe those puffs of smoke happen when the cookerator catches on fire. [smiley=hysterical.gif]

Speaking of which, the other day while I was cooking I kept smelling a sweetish odor in the air near the Cookerator. Upon close examination, I decided it was oxygen being generated by the cooking. Like I said, it was really boiling!

Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon?

I went out to check on it about 9 PM and almost pulled out my lighter to check over inside. H + O + fire = kabooom! The peasants were impressed with my quick thinking yet dissapointed there were no fireworks.

Instead of a filter, I need to attach a capture device to save that stuff for fuel. Maybe I can convert the old lawn tractor to burn it, huh?

T.C. I know it sounds crazy, but I cleaned a skillet that I swear, I could smell fish frying. I don't know how they seasoned it, or if they used it to fry fish, but that's what smell it gave off. My dog even thought she was going to get a taste and camped out by the cooker. I have no peasants, but she was dissapointed. I thought the gas given off was hydrogen, but I can't remember. Could I borrow some peasants, maybe just on special occasions? [smiley=clapping.gif]

Priorty Mail or UPS?

Yep, it could have been something in the iron. Maybe they used it make caramel. It was really stubborn. I thought it produced hydrogen on the cathode and oxygen on the anode or maybe versa vice. Anyway I thought I read it produced both in a gaseous state. I'm sure it quickly combines into water vapor anyway.

It combines into water vapor only after "ignition" by the peasants. Hydrogen is produced at the negative electrode. Here's a good link about electrolysis and how it works, complete with great equations!!

T.C. I don't care what you do but don't give up the peasants. You worked hard for them and now you would casually give them away. To give them away would remove your standing as King, alas, a man without a country and or following.

C. B. Williams · « **Reply #33 on:** April 15, 2005, 01:48:37 PM »

AND, No one to collect taxes from. You must keep the taxes high and the peasants poor. Wealthy peasants don't work.

Harry Riva · « **Reply #34 on:** April 15, 2005, 02:19:48 PM »

Peasants?? This whole time I thought it was Pheasants.

Harry Riva · « **Reply #35 on:** April 15, 2005, 02:28:30 PM »

TC, A little problem here. My other half read the "rain and the rumble of thunder" prose above and now wants to know why I can't talk and write like that. She fell in love with it. What do we have to do for you to start posting this kind of stuff under my name?

Harry,

Your wife is too kind, sir. Tis not the difficulty one would believe. Let your imagination loose man! Write as you would speak while imagining yourself far away from your mundane surroundings. The prose and poetic ramblings shall flow forth as a spring head from your mind.

Or you could just send me your login.

Give up the peasants? No! Roger only wanted to borrow the peasants. Lending of one's peasants has benefits dear Perry. After they have suffered a while elsewhere they will gladly return to the Cookerator King to be lavished in awe and astonishment at his accomplishments while they were gone.

The lent peasants will tell the tales of the disappointing and lackluster performance they have just witnessed thus it will keep the others from even thinking about leaving. I can raise their taxes under the threat of lending them again and they will be happy to pay it! Or be tossed in the roiling cauldron to take their fate with the iron.

How many did you say you wanted Roger?

There you go Thomas! I can just see :o it happening :o

Thomas_Callaway · « **Reply #39 on:** April 17, 2005, 10:30:21 PM »

The peasants were left to their own devices today as the fish were biting. They will be glad to stand at the window and peer in as I drop the breaded morsels into hot grease. The delicious aroma will waft through the air and out the open window. Their mouths will water.
