Okay, we're doing chemistry. I don't want to compound your problems. Just achieve a balance. There's a sort of acid test for these things. Basically, you need to difuse the situation before you get a bad reaction.

So. Put on your pretective eyewear. Light the Bunsen burner. And pun!

Bob, As ferrous opening smackdown posts go this one is a bit rusty. Perhaps you need to iron out a few of the details.

Edit to add, I apologize for being so critical. I'm sure this wasn't the reaction you were looking for. I'm not sure why I give in to this base desire to critisize. I'll work on limiting the acidity of my replies.

I've got a buddy who cant wear metal of any sort. He can't even carry coins in his pocket, no mettalic zippers... well you get the idea. Apparently he has a metallergy.

Solid topic to base our next punfest on, Bob. It has great acetic appeal and should get our blood Boyleing. As long as one of us isn't a mole, that is.

You know what this pary needs? Some guacamole. Who's got the Avagadros? But if anyone drinks, be careful not to drive or the cops might pull you over and make you walk the alkaline. Some people think this is wrong, but I'm neutral on the subject.

Oh, great, chemistry. I might only join this thread periodically, because I have so little knowledge in this area. It will be a test tu be or not tu be n this smackdown.

Oh heck, the hot dogs are ready, I have to go put the Bunsen the oven.

I didn’t like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but I am alkene to watch aldehyde scenes again. Amide like that.

Speaking of good literature, I like the story about Ester Prion by Hawthorne.

Dag, I've seen the movie and I'm afraid you won't get much fromaldehyde scenes. They were pretty dead. I don't even think they are worth preserving.

Is it true that chemists always have a question to flask? Maybe they could pipette in. Unless of course they're in Michigan, 'cuz that's a solid state.

Make fun of these puns and you argon get hurt!

I know what you mean Pepek. I was having problems with some of my puns being leaden when I was shooting for golden. I tried transmootation once but they still seemed beside the point. Just keep atom and have faith.

I don't want to precipitate a crisis, but...

I'm finding this whole thread too elementary.

I think we should hold an electron in order to distill the various opinions to something more pure.

Bob, perhaps this loss of order is a result of no awards at the end. I think an end trophy would bring back structure to this disorder.

*mutters about people starting chemistry threads when she is so busy, and compounding the offense by doing it when she's offline* [Grumble]

I knew someone named Hy (short for Hyman, I believe). His wife objected to his tendency of being careless with all the meds he took, leaving them in odd places. Once he left some in the fake leather sofa, and she was heard to shriek, "Die! Hy, drugs in my Naugahyde!"

What did the proton say to the electron?

"It's time you came out of your shell."

To which the electron replied "are you positive?"

All of my files in one of my file cabinets were soaked the other day. A temp had been hired to help clean up. She dumped a pitcher of water into one of the cabinets.

I asked her, "Why did you do that."

She looked up dazed, "Gee boss. The drawer said H to O"

Ion not been doin these for a while. Now you know why.

That's a good way to fall and break your hipbone or something. My grandmother lost her balance once and broke her thiol to pieces.

Your grandmother should put a bandaid on it. For broken thiols, bandaids are very good at helium.
