Mythbusters

[J. T./Jessica]

I figured it was time for everyone's favorite show of explosives, guns, etc... to get it's own topic in the new T.V. World...

[J. T./Jessica]

New episode - 10/19/05 - "Chinese Intruder Alert"

Chinese Invasion Alarm... High School Science Class?

Sounds far-fetched, but possible at the moment...

Hey! You guys break it you buy it!

Pots into drums? Any two-year-old can do THAT...

Didn't Jamie already do that? The automatic marching thing...

Okay... WHY is Kari going to shave a goat?

The Five-Second Rule? I've heard of that one.

Hey, Scottie was mentioned.

Adam looks like a chicken...

I vote bucket of scum after what? four years of Mythbusting?

Yeah, it's the BATHROOM!

Body temp...

Back in China...

Knew it was too good to be true.

Yeah, trenches.

Yeah, it sounds like it does.

You're kidding.

Yeah, THAT'D be an interesting conversation...

That was warped...

Yeah, he is.

Ok, THAT would be gross...

The toilet seat bacteria free?

Mythbusters - Making simple things complex.

Failed to get a face-print

AND HE LICKED IT!

So does this mean beef broth will clean your tile floors?

So far, this is boring... I want to see something blown up!

Heavy equipment? Good enough!

Is that a Battlebot?

Wonder if they'll strike gold? *smirks*

Duh. Mythbusters and Insane are synonomus

Adam loves talking about things Jamie "used to do".

Borehole.

Five Second Rule means precisely... BUPKIS!

Did JAMIE just say ADAM made sense?

BUSTED!

(Another new episode next Wednesday! HOO-AH!)

Probably a swimming hole instead.

So... Myth Plausible?

Looks like Kari hears it...

Who does Jamie think he is, Hannibal?

What is that? A Rain dance?

Myth Plausible.

[JP Gibb]

Not one of the more exciting ones, but I did want to see someone take on the Five Second Rule.

Yeah, that was Deadblow. I still have the kit BattleBots put out, I'll have to dig it back up.





I miss BattleBots...

[JP Gibb]

Also: does the fact that Adam has kids scare anyone else?

[J. T./Jessica]

I think EVERYONE misses Battlebots (all these other ones just don't live up to it...)

And not really, he probably acts more serious when he's not off... having fun... at work... (Damn, I'd love to have his job...)

[J. T./Jessica]

Giant Slingshot

(Note: it's 3/4 over when I flip it on)

It's like a giant death machine...

Mythbusters - Mortal enemies of crash test dummies everywhere.

It's like a human yo-yo.

I think I'll stick to flying with actual flight vehicles, not giant slingshots.

[J. T./Jessica]

New episode tonight.

I predict that it will be Myth Confirmed on the Confederate Rocket. Why? Simple, I believe in Redneck Ingenuity.

[J. T./Jessica]

Confederate Rocket

Burn and boom... heh heh heh *Chuckles maniacally* I like things that can cause extreme amounts of destruction...

Of course we had a secret weapon, Georgia was part of the Confederacy, wasn't it?

Oh, cool, Adam has a T-Shirt with his infamous "I reject your reality" line on it...

*Shocked* Jamie SWORE!

And it worked!

Yeah, I'd prefer to hit the target too.

Adam forgot to mention the percentage of it bloiwing up on the launcher...

Ok, so it worked.... Where did it land?

Yeah, it looked like the rescue rope came off, guess it did.

DAMN! Jamie's pentrated five feet into hard ground! Think what it could do to a PERSON...

"Unfortunately in the Rocket-Science world there are few women and they're hunted to extinction" - that's funny.

Well, if it involved fermented sugar, maybe they used...

Yeah, moonshine.

Hey, there's the Sharammer/Canadian Starfighter in the background.

So, L-OX busted?

You know, this is looking like one of the few episodes with no side-myths.

What? You don't want us trying to make Civil War-era rockets at home?

Aw, man, they censored it!

You know, Nitrous Oxide, "Laughing Gas" doesn't REALLY make you laugh...

So they're going from two-stage to compound?

I'm with Jamie... the simple things are often the most dangerous.

Yeah, it's not a true Mythbusters episode yet, there's been no explosions, Buster-busting or Adam in pain...

All of THAT is JUST the motor?!

Those with pyromaniacal tendencies will be rivited...

FIRE!!! FIRE!!!

One of the CAMERAS was burning!

Uh.... Where IS Jamie?

Adam's hovercraft got melted!

Well, I take it back, it IS a Mythbusters episode, ALMOST on par with Exploding Cement Truck.

Man, they're keeping a lot of secrets this episode...

Whoa!

You get enough of it, and pack it right, I'd say it could...

It blew the mini-cannon BACKWARDS...

Adam... "Get off... the nuclear... warhead."

The truck sunk into the ground...

Promptly gets stuck again.

That sounded dirty...

Yeah, it'd be a matter of if they could get all the factors to work right at the same time.

5% chance of explosion.

Notice he now checks to make sure he doesn't exceed 100%...

LAUNCH!

Yeah, let's try and find the rocket...

Yes, please.


Killer Tissue Box/Splitting an Arrow

You know, the first times this episode and the one where they finished Earl off I couldn't watch the first times they aired, too soon after my accident.

Ah, the Fury from "Driveshaft Pole Vault".

Yeah, headrests don't really do much.

Killer dinner...

Yeah, you don't... even though it'd be nice.

Aluminum.

They must either have a huge budget or get discounts on ballistics gel, etc...

Alameda Naval Air Station is one of their favorite places, it seems...

And it tore THROUGH the aluminum I-beam.

By the way, do you guys know how hard it is to get arrows to go to almost the exact same place twice in a row? I'm an occasional archer, so I can tell you that it is NOT easy.

Tory a herald is not.

"Don't try this at home." I make my own weapons and you don't want me to do this at home.

Like I said, not easy.

He's sinking them in the foam blocks up to the feathers.

Mythbusters: Building robots for everything.

Yeah. 45 can do some damage.... My accident was at 45.

Subwoofer busted something.

Decapitation, probably.

Does it ay something for us that we love watching dangerous things like this>

Tore the gel out of the frame... for a second there it looked like a ball of water in midair...

Doesn't mean it would hurt like hell and drive your head through the windshield.

(Next episode.... out of control 18-wheel big-rig...)

Shaven, not split.

So it's a trillion in one chance of aiming at an arrow with the exact right grain for it to work.

I've done that a few times... but the steering alignment is almost perfect and I trust the Echo.

I think Buster is smarter that Adam sometimes... Adam VOLUNTEERS for stuff.

*closes his eyes, covers his ears, whimpers and tries to block out the memories...*
I thank God I was alone in the car that day...

[J. T./Jessica]

(11/2/05 - New Episode...)

Vodka Myths

Hey, that's a new "Don't Try This At Home" cut.

Eighteen wheels of FURY.... times two.

Squish?

Yeah, head on means full-force... but the odds of a head-on collision ain't THAT likely, more like off-center collison.

Heh-heh... CRUNCH.

They got trucks... now they need a car.

So you'd call it a super-compact? should be cheap on gas.

Yeah, I was about to comment that this is the third or fourth thing that Mythbusters have been given by fans to destroy. (Earl being the most infamous.)

Breaks your heart? We're gonna break the car!

Sounds complex... like too many variables for it to be easy.

*Shudders*
I hate that scene, too many bad memories.

Let me guess, Jamie wants to use titanium?

*Russian accent*
Wodka?

Actually, Vodka ISN'T the national drink of Russia, it's tea. (A common misconception since we associate Tea with England and Vodka with Russia.)

Myths like this, I feel sorry for the Myth-terns.

Fans... or Tory. *Smirks*

Does that truck say "Wack" on it?

Guess you could say that digging that hole is a boring job, huh, Kari?

About now is when things should go pear-shaped...

And Buster gets to sit in the car.

This is gonna HOIT the poor dummy!

It'd smell 57?

Oh, 7 or 8.

Yeah, but that's Ethonal Alcohol, not drinking alcohol.

So Vodka works?

These guys never read Murphy, have they?

And Murphy strikes! RUNAWAY RIG!

You call that straight?!

Ah, Mythbusters - Risking Life and Limb to Prove People Wrong.

The plan is "If it comes towards you, run very fast."

So they're smashing THREE dummies (Buster included)? You know, they keep this up, they'll have to upgrade Simulade Susie, Rescue Randy, et. al. like they did Buster...

*Smirking, re: Vodka Mouthwash*
Sounds like whoever came up with that idea must've been drunk.

It's ROTGUT, if you're gonna say it, say it right.

Oh, you mean the one where Adam donated his poo to test methane emissions?

I like garlic. (And baked onions... unfortunately, the only place I can find those is on pizza.)

Poor Grant, the unfortunate part of being indespensible.

ANOTHER Runaway Rig?

That looked... wrong.

"Liquid Death to Cinnamon Toast"...?

So Vodka is a very vesatile drink?

J.T. want big CRUNCH!

*Starts humming "Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses" by Kathy Mattea.*

That car got a SPANKING!

The trucks are easy, but can they fix the pole/pulley set-up?

Here we go again!

And again they look to be at different distances.

UGH! Adam jinxed it!

AND BUSTER SURVIVED!

Aw, Jamie just can't enjoy a good smashing.

You realize that the impact force almost disintegrated the rear of the trailers, right?

"Just throw a tourniquit on it, he'll be fine"?
If I'm injured, I don't want Grant Imahara giving me first aid.


Conclusion:
Why do we watch Mythbusters? Because we can't do this kinda shit ourselves so we have to get our destructive thrills vicariously.

[JP Gibb]

That crash, like the exploding cement truck, Buster strapped to the rocket chair, overspun CDs, and a few others, I could watch OVER and OVER and OVER and etc....


I knew as soon as they decided to use two tow trucks it was going to not work 100%, but it was still impressive.

Next week looks like it'll be fun too, can't wait.

[J. T./Jessica]

*Nods.*

Yeah, the only way a two-towtruck system would have worked if they did it in tandem, not parallel.

You know, hook one towtruck's front bumper to the other towtruck's rear, start one off, then start giving gas to the other so the were both providing power on the same cable.

That, or if they had found some way to rig it up so that the towtrucks would remain flanking each other, like welding metal bars to them...

[JP Gibb]

Nah, that'd be harder than what they did. You had the right idea the first time. Write it in to them for the re-visit!

[J. T./Jessica]

Maybe.

[JP Gibb]

Tonight:

Steel toed boots: Ow. Ow, ow ow. Having dropped various heavy things on my toes while wearing STBs, I can fully appreciate them. That said, the law of averages will lead to someone having things happen once, in just the right way, for the steel to buckle and cut into the foot. I don't think they're gonna get it to workt though.

Bottle rocket: Mythbusters + water bottle rockets = hours of amusement. ;D

[J. T./Jessica]

(11/9/05 - New Episode)

Steel Toe Amputation

Oh, yes, there is the potential for much destruction in this episode...

Hey, the 'Build Team' are appearantly full-Mythbusters now. They were mentioned in the opening and the 30 years of Adam and Jamie was changed to 50 years for all five.

No ax? Aw, that'd be so much fun...

Fiber-optic camera? Oh, ballistics gel instead.

Plaster bandages, also known as Plaster-wrap and available at stores like Hobby Lobby.

Kari's butt, Adam's head and feet, SOMEONE's torso (I don't know who)... is there any body part that the Mythbusters haven't duplicated in ballistics gel?

Meaning that if these slice off your toes, anything less definately will.

Adam, you're just supposed to be holding the thing in place, not faking an orgasm.

They'd be hurting like hell, but still attached so far...

(Commercial Break)

Adam? Oh, Kari. I was guessing by risk-taking, not weight.

I'm gonna bet against this one...

Thrust is good... accuracy is better.

*laughs maniacally.*

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I think it dented that van!

(Commercial Break)

Okay... and why not just make new feet with old-style ballistics gel instead?

Flattened!

*Has a mental image of what Jamie's wife might look like - complete with mustache and beret - and laughs.*

Looks like something out of a cartoon...

Maybe not FAKE, but DEFINATELY DANGEROUS.

(commercial break)

Translation: Time to blow a bottle up.

And Deadblow not only gets mentioned, but gets a few seconds of screentime.

150psi to blow up a three-liter soda bottle!

Makes sense, a soda bottle is made out of more flexible plastic while the water bottles are rigid.

Take off would probably work... But I wouldn't want to be trying to land that thing!

Mythbusters - Making things do stuff they're not supposed to... FOR SCIENCE!

Though a coffin might be needed in the end...

(Commercial Break)

*Starts humming "Highway To The Dangerzone"*

Odds are higher that Amanda's father will give her away at her wedding than you'll have your toes cut off by steel-toed boots.

Swim, maybe?

Aw, come on! I'm probably heavier than she is, but I'd volunteer to do it!

"Another Dummy"... But I thought Kari was doing this, not Adam...

STEADY! FIRE!

SPLASHDOWN!

And Tory was right!

(Commercial Break... Next New Episode... Finger in a Gun Barrel.)

And it still flipped!

I think the problem was where on the bottle-rig they secured Simulade Jane.

Yeah, but THAT ONE was because they changed the design!

Actually... I almost think they've been using too MUCH force.

Mythbusters - Helping the Lard industry put their kids through college. (That was lard, right?)

"Hugest"?
