The Mad Scientist Graduation Party

There is nothing like walking into a party where the punch is smoking from dry ice, measuring cups filled with liquid nitrogen are holding anything and everything to be frozen and smashed with a hammer, green jello platters encase dismembered barbe dolls, and goo comprised of various different ingredients can be found everywhere. Moving through the house there are scientific and mathematical equations posted all over the walls, and in the back yard a small fire is the preparation for the favorite experiment of the evening. In the background is a huge replica of the Newton balls, made with bowling balls. Salt is helping water conduct enough electricity to power a lightbulb, and a toxic metal waste barrel is heated and then cooled which causes the coolest implosion I have ever witnessed. While their I rounded up a couple of girls to attend the Neko Case show on Thursday, as well as an invite to a Naked Lady Party, my first. A fab time was had. One lesson learned of the evening: Don't put the science experiment in your mouth. While this is extremely straight forward, nearly everyone at the party had to eat a nitrogen-frozen raspberry after witnessing the painful freezing to the lips/tongue/ roof of the mouth which went along with it. EAch person would watch as the next idiot plopped the innocent looking raspberry into their mouths, and then laugh as the look of fear and panic crossed their face when they realized they might not ever be normal again. My tongue is still burned from the cold!
