[Those with sharp ears may hear a slight crackling, hissing noise. Some may even recognize that as that sound of something burning.]

[Don's voice sounds a bit muffled, as though he's speaking through a cloth of some sort. Always remember your safety gear, kids!]

Uh huh.

[Voice] HE'S BORED. tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 04:12:27 UTC

It's highly flammable.

[Voice] thepartydude October 2 2010, 04:19:00 UTC

[PING.]

Really?

[Why would you tell him this.]

[Voice] tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 04:20:20 UTC

Well, maybe not highly, but it's flammable enough to be used for lighting...

[Because boredom and Don do not go well together]

....what?

[Audio] tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 04:16:25 UTC

Distilled tree resin. Flammable, a solvent, has a few crude medicinal properties...

[toxic]

This isn't a perfect sample, truthfully, but it's apparently serviceable enough.

*...Wrong question. Marco knows what turpentine is...kind of.*

Why do you have it, though?

[Audio] tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 04:21:47 UTC

I was bored and had time on my hands. No reason in particular, honestly.

[Almost sheepish there]

I had that once, y'know?

But there is they do a moose for it now.

Pardon me, sir. I'm sorry but would you mind repeating yourself?

For turpentine.

[Audio] NOT QUITE. REMEMBER TECH SUPPORT. HE WILL NOT BREAK EASY. tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 04:34:14 UTC

A moose for turpentine? How does that work, sir?

...

Go on.

[Audio] tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 04:57:55 UTC

I found equipment to construct a distiller. After a few, erm, trial and error test runs to make sure it worked, I gathered resin from various trees and went about separating the turpentine. I have to admit that a few of the attempts did...not end very well, but this one worked out just fine.

I'm burning a sample of it right now. It's also making good work on dissolving the rubber duck.

[HE SOUNDS SO PROUD. BORING, BUT PROUD]

[Audio] heavyweaponsbot October 2 2010, 05:00:36 UTC

Hmn... Good.

Have you tested its explosive capability, yet?

[Audio] tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 05:08:39 UTC

I'm not sure turpentine on its own is particularly explosive. Flammable, yes, but not explosive. A lot like napalm, I suppose. At least if it doesn't have gas pockets.

...Though, of course, that doesn't mean it can't be.

Tur-pa-teen?

Is that a... tur-like canteen?

tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 05:09:33 UTC

Um, I don't think so? It's a chemical taken from the resin extracted from trees.

l33tshushuhero October 2 2010, 05:14:37 UTC

...

Uh, okay. So, it's a che-mee-kal from resin from trees.

... Oh, wait! I get it! It's just sap, right? Ha ha, nice word you made up there. Could've just said sap, you know.

tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 05:26:16 UTC

No, I couldn't have. Though similar, resin isn't sap. Sap is water and sugar and is more commonly used as food, for one thing, while resin is substance plants secrete made up of hydrogen and carbon that is more commonly used in non-edible items. Like perfume or incense.
