Dude! It's actually called a "cutting torch/flame cutter!" Isn't that COOL!?!?!?!" It's a nozzle with all these little jets of blue flame coming out of it, and those melt the metal, but in the very middle of the nozzle there's a passage for air, and when you hit the trigger on the torch it shoots air out of there and literally blows the melted metal out of the way. You end up throwing tiny balls of glowing, molten metal everywhere! Kickass!

The welding is awesome too. Who doesn't want to have the power to melt metal together right at their fingertips. It's like being a superhero! "I will take these things and fuse them together by focusing the molecules in the air around them and causing them to vibrate at supersonic speeds!"

Um, yeah, I guess I'm kind of excited.

He was funny. A couple of times he just looked at it really long and hard. I think the wheels were turning.

Well, I can do an RBS in six hours, yeah, but it's not all nice and smooth and swanky-looking like the copper ones. It has plenty of rough edges, but I was just trying to bang something out really quickly. It will function, but not look so hot! The nice ones, they take time.

Yup, maybe he'll try to make one next time.
mhmm stuff that take longer time are nicer, I know.

I swallowed a pill without water and I think it's hanging in my oesophagus. Just saying.

I hate when that happens!
Oh, no "o" at the beginning of "esophagus," but that's a hard one anyway.
