What follows is my story about a shed, a warm beer and a home made jet engine. It is being presented for entertainment purposes only and no-one should attempt to emulate what I have done here. The risks should be obvious but it is worth pointing out that beer is a very dangerous substance when used without due care.

Please be careful!

I'll bring other drinkable expendable afficianados in.
Sam, since we were both banned from having flamethrowers and other assorted toys when we were little, think we could get away with making one of these?

LOL! Sounds like a lot of work. Let me get a six pack out of the fridge while we work on one. ;-)

Ahh.. but nothing beats having a jet engine and shrieking the neighbor's ears to death while fiddling away with guy stuff out in the workshop...

Not only that but there is a good chance of burning down the garage and causing bodily harm. How much better can it get?

Hmm.. loud noise, possible firey destruction, makes drinkable expendable colder, chance of bodily harm.
Has all the earmarks of FUN to me!
It's a plan then?

I'm glad I didn't have a mouthful of soda or something. It would've hurt snorting through my nose.

This guy and his ideas are outstanding. A very good read!
