They must have been cooking up one hell of a pot of chili!

Whatever it was, he's been cooking, must have been da bomb.

Anyway, if this would've happened to me, I guess a new pressure cooker wouldn't be the first on my list.

Someone will likely be buying an instant pot (not to mention a new stove and vent hood)...

I pulled one out of a projector that had been there for over 6,000.
Knowing how that one was, I can only imagine what yours must have been like.

I got called to a theater that had repeated complaints of a dim picture in one auditorium but nobody ever thought to inform me until now. There were a couple of booth people standing around when I opened the lamphouse and looked inside.

I slowly closed the door, turned around to wave the others away and I said, "I think you kids should go downstairs, now..."

I bet that whoever made that 911 call is now feeling a tad embarrassed...

And from a recent breakdown call:

An Ushio DXL-40BAF that, per the diagnostic package of the projector it came out of, had done 10,702 hours and nine years (residence theater, so low hours per year). The warranty is to 1,300 hours and two years! We were only called because the owner started to notice a flicker. I'm 99% sure that's genuine, because the serial number on the box I found next to the projector is the same as the one our records indicate we sold them in 2013. I don't think the lamp was changed between then and now, and whoever changed it failed to record the new lamp details in Communicator.

Given how fragile that lamp must be, I was relieved to get it into its condom and the thing sealed. Couldn't resist taking a pic just before doing so, though.

I like to munch on these little licorice lobsters.
They're a great "booth snack" while working.

But I think sometimes not all of them come out of
the candy mold exactly right. While most of them do
somewhat anatomically resemble lobsters. . . some of
them seem to resemble another form of anatomy.

. . . or have I just been living in San Francisco too long?
