Beware the Stainless Steel Hammer!!!
Well, yesterday I went over to shiny_puppy's house to help him shoot the video portion for his project in his Multimedia class. He had to do it on myths and decided to prove/disprove the myth of your tongue sticking to a pole outside in winter. So, I head over to his house and prepare my equipment. The night before he surprised me by asking me how much my services would cost. This took me aback since I was just going to do it as a favor and told him this. However he insisted so I said $10 and a Cherry Coke.
Anyway, so I arrive and am surprised with a 12 pack of Cherry Coke instead of one single 20 oz or 2 liter. After doing some running around to pick up hotdogs and posterboard (such an eventual little trip =P) and then having some lunch (of course I had chinese food as usual), we started filming. In order to give Shiny his money's worth, I would do multiple takes of a scene so in the editing, it would be more stylized and professional. However, I think he got a little annoyed while doing the intro part of the video because he would either flub his speech or I would fuck up with the camera work from laughing too much. For some reason, Shiny is able to make anything he is saying very amusing and I was not prepared.
Well, after we got done with that part, on with the tests we went. The test subjects were as such: ice cubes, a spoon sitting in the freezer, a stainless steel hammer sitting in the freezer, a metal baseball bat sitting outside in the cold, a pipe sitting outside in the cold, and of course, the imfamous pole. So, test one, of course the ice cubes didn't stick but yikes, Shiny was sticking his tongue to them and licking them in a way that was hilarious yet hypnotic. I think for the finished video, I'll have a close up of his ice cube licking in slow motion. It just has to be seen to be believed. Test two involved the spoon. It stuck to his tongue for a few seconds then fell off. Next came the hammer... that dreaded hammer. As soon as Shiny stuck his tongue to it, he couldn't pull it off and we forgot to bring the cup of hot water downstairs. As Shiny is helpless with this hammer stuck to his tongue, I couldn't help but laugh, especially when he tried to talk. I came close to shitting myself. I ran upstairs, all the while laughing my ass off (that'd be a lot of weight off me alone), to get the cup of water. However, in the process, he already managed to free his tongue but not without ripping off some very small chunks from his tongue.
So, from that point on, before Shiny stuck his tongue to anything else, he would test it with hot dogs first. And not just any hotdogs, but Oscar Meyer hotdogs! =P
So, the tests from there are on turned out the same. Shiny's tongue didn't stick to any of the items outside sitting in the cold and nothing happened. It was at least 22-25 degrees outside no less. So, the conclusion was either Michigan winters aren't cold enough to cause that to happen or you have a better chance of your tongue sticking to some metal object sitting in the freezer overnight.
After that, Shiny showed me some show called Bobobo. It was weird but pretty funny due to its nonsensical nature. It's almost like it was inspired by Arfenhouse. Then I went home, studied, and relaxed.
But as a note, that hammer will never be forgiven for its inhuman acts against Shiny and has been sentenced to life in a toolbox. That damn psychotic hammer... =P
