[TheForge] [TheForge]{OT} propane/acet kaboom discussion

[KEN O'OUGHLIN]

I AGREE,  confront fear, stimulte each and every dentrite in the human sy=
stem. bleachers were invented for sitters. Would Mr. Nobel be considered =
childish? I love the smell of Naphthene+Palm in the AM.
Be happy to know that you will not drop dead sitting at the coffeehouse s=
taring at your lap-top. 
or sitting for that matter.
IT'S ALL REALATIVE I GUESS.
K.O.


"Having a certain modicum of adolescent pleasure ,in making loud noises, =
>playing with fire and controlling  dangerous situations, makes 
blacksmithing much more attractive..much less like work.
 Most of us do it for the grubby  joy of it...at least in part.
Given a standard of acceptible risk like, say, the freeway...I'd say 
that we are generally within reasonable bounds.
Further, despite the impish tone of the discussion, we gain a clearer 
knowledge of the dangers involved in our medium from it...."

"...I think I'd rather go out with a bang."
