I came home from lunch with my father this afternoon and was greeted at the door by The Funk. The Funk is a smell so foul that I almost went downstairs to make sure one of my roommates wasn't dead and rotting away. I had (the previous evening) taken out all trash and cleaned kitty’s litter box so I know it wasn't that. I did a floor check to make sure kitty hadn't decided to start using the living room as her toilet. I checked corners and behind shelves for some decomposing animal. Even with all the windows open I couldn't get rid of The Funk. I went through all of my fridge items smelling each piece of produce. Then doing the same in my roommate’s fridge. I wore my nose out sticking it into places noses don't normally go. Finally I came across a small grocery bag hiding on the counter in the corner. I picked it up and sniffed.... GAG! Yes this is definitely The Funk. I opened the bag, expecting to find various dead items, and was greeted by The Beef Balloon. My roommate’s most recent science experiment. In case anyone wants to recreate this experiment for their own amusement I've included the steps below.
Place one Tube-O-Beef in a plastic grocery bag.
Leave said beef on counter for 2+ weeks. (Remember, the fridge is not the intended destination)
Add one warm day. Make sure to leave all the windows closed so your house warms up properly.
Watch Tube-O-Beef expand. Safety goggles might be appropriate in case said tube reaches maximum expansion and explodes.
