Tried to convince a lad last night that you're supposed to load up your air fryer with oil like a chip pan, to obviously no success, but the stupidity of it gave me a good laugh.

True they were an absolute death trap but you cant deny they made some tasty chips

Totally agree, I used to make my own battered sausages and burgers with it, savage...

That's the sort of thing you know someday you'll see some TV3 journo reporting on outside a local hospital.

We never had a proper deep-fat fryer at home when I was a kid, just this thing we called the chip pan, looked like it had been recovered from a nuclear meltdown.

The mother threw water on one when it caught fire. The scorch mark on the ceiling was epic. She is quite lucky with whatever way she was standing. She still has a face!

Yep, same for years. Looked like the elephant's foot in Chernobyl at the end.

Don't they tell you thats not what you should do?

This is why we cant have nice things.

I can assure you that it is the wrong thing to do. Unless your intention is to make a giant ball of fire spring forth from a flaming chip pan. Damp towel over it lads.

And you could use the used chip fat oil to draw on the lawn, and it would remain visible for months...

Was playing a game of sim City one evening and got hungry for a few chips so I filled up a saucepan with chip oil and boiled it up (oven chips like fuck that) and went back in to terrorise the citizens while I waited.

Oh of course the fuckin yoke went on fire didn't it so I was all clever and wet a towel and smothered it out nicely like that no panic like but I put the pot on the worktop and it fuckin burned through it. Missus was like a dog and the smell never came out of the place but other than that it was a flawless victory of staying calm under pressure and the threat of certain death so I considered myself heroic in the end.

Then while I was being a hero as I was, a tornado fucked up my city

Remember Phileas Fogg tortilla chips? The nicest of the lot, they disappeared in the late '90s. Greatly missed so after a bit of googling the closest we'll come seems to be to buy a bag of plain tortilla chips and throw a fuckload of cajun seasoning in with them.

Tried that. No. It's OK but not quite there.

I reckon mix a bit of cayenne pepper and it'll be closer. Perchance a dash of chili powder. I shall report my findings anon.

Oh yeah, I remember them. Nice.

Was just reading that, thinking about what it says about human nature. Then I started wondering about what it says about herself and the type of people she's hanging around with.

Either way it was interesting enough

I wonder if there was an element of egging on, or some kind of explicit suggestion made to the crowd. Or perhaps there was a plant or two in the audience whose job it was was to start taking things in a darker direction. Maybe that's just my 2023 brain unable to wrap itself around the reality that art used to actually be dangerous rather than an often boring, self indulgent reflection of modern woke ideals. One thing is a certainty, I think. A performance like that wouldn't work at all today because everyone would be terrified of going near her let alone cutting her clothes off.
