We had a very satisfying moment here yesterday - we got a new laser printer for the office. Well, that was a good thing in and of itself, as our previous printer had taken to randomly crumpling and jamming like 1 out of every 3 sheets printed. But the real moment of satisfaction came when we brought the old printer out back, and Andee took a baseball bat to it. Scott had a few whacks too. Ah, a little violence against an inanimate object to relieve some work place stress (and built up hatred of said object).
A lesson learned, however: if you decide to go all "Office Space" on a Brother HL-2040 or similar laser printer, it's a good idea to remove the toner cartridge first! Otherwise it can be a bit messy. Although the black smoke-like plume that erupts when it's squarely struck is rather cool.

Smashing a VCR is also quite fun. Pouring rubbing alcohol on it and setting it on fire, on the other hand, is not such a great idea. The thick cloud that spread across the ceiling of the carport looked cool; the coating I could feel building up in my lungs, on the other hand . . .
Aha. A bit of a pyro, eh? Now we know where you got your moniker.
