So I’m reaching for my brisk, cold Mountain Dew, to wake me up. I’ve been up for four hours, so I think I’m entitled to my caffeine fix. I reach for the bottle, and knock it over. No problem. It’s not opened, and Mountain Dew doesn’t explode. So I pick up the bottle, and I hear this peculiar hissing/bubbling sound. I examine the Dew, and discover that it landed on a pushpin, which is sticking firmly in the bottle. Being the idiot that I am without caffeine, I pull the pushpin out, only to be met with a firm stream of Mountain Dew. Normally a firm stream would be just what I need. However, I did not need it in my face, in my hair, on my computer desk, nor all over my computer.
At least your Mountain Dew has Caffeine!
Here in Canada it is unlawful to caffinate a citrus beverage! :rolleyes: Go Figure :rolleyes:
P.S. Sorry about your Computer! That blows!
That’s what you get for waking up at 6 in the morning!
<sheesh>
Bummer about the computer, though.
Does caffeine increase processor speed? Is the associated jittery display worth it?
This may be the first documented case of someone reading the SDMB and really spraying a beverage all over their key board.
Haj
It can be like ROTFLMAO!

Aww…poor dear… sniker
gets it under control
Seriously that’s horrible loses control
I’m trying here, I just can’t help it. (If it helps, I can be a geek and figure out the force of the stream and trajectory in terms of where on the height of the bottle the pushpin was…)
Go get a shower, babe.
Oh, you’re in trouble now. Did we ever discuss PAYMENT of my coming to get you for OhDope? No? Well…
The pushpin was in a 20-oz bottle. It was wedged towards the top, about a quarter of the way down. Essentially, it was just above the label.
Shower? Sure. Care to join me?
That’s the kind of thing people do to others, on April 1!
