Survive Your Own Cooking - 3rd period - (9/17)

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Today was in the Danger shop as so very handwavily planned. Because today... there was SCIENCE. Reed Richards, Tony Stark and Hank Pym's bastard lovechild kind of science.

No, that didn't mean there was a clone of a god running about. That would just be silly.

"We are going to learn the very delicate art of boiling water today," Deadpool informed the class when they had all filed in. "Now, I know this can be done wrong many ways, but I think in this safe environment we can do this. Just think of me as the Jaime Escalante to your East L.A. tough street kids with hearts of gold."

A beat.

"Without any cheating involved."

Shaking his head, Deadpool soldiered on. "Now! We have two options for you kooky kids. You can either watch a movie for instructions--" He waved toward the faaaancy 'AV department which he wasn't actually sure the school had, so it might have just been stolen' television. "--Or you can just go to town and figure it out on your own. Like brave little pioneers. Just no dying of cholera along the way, that'll just get me in trouble and we really don't need that."

Because preventing cholera was a job bestowed upon him as a teacher. True story.

"Now break into teams of two and go to town!"

Watch the Movie

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

It's informative, fun, AND insults you. It's just fun.

Hey, and there was a cute Asian showing off the instructions. Cal wondered if maybe they made a version about paint drying. He'd watch that, too.

Ned knew how to boil water but he watched anyway. It was always good to get a refresher.

Wendy despaired for the future of humanity if an instructional video was needed to boil water.

Jeff was just sort of trying to figure out where the woman's breasts had gone.

On the other hand, he'd always been a bit bad at boiling water, but that couldn't be helped.

Sam was seriously hoping no one would need to watch this, but then he remembered how much trouble he had in the kitchen sometimes, and realized it was entirely possible.

Boil Water

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

There are pots, water and stove tops available for each group. And even some salt. Because Deadpool had seen enough cooking shows to know you needed salt for some reason.

Dōjima wandered over to poke at the stove and wait for a partner.

"Hey," Hurley greeted. "Uhhh, need a partner?"

Re: Boil Water

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"Haaaaaaaaaai," Dōjima drawled, peering into the salt container. Why the hell do they need salt anyway? Were they supposed to cook salt?

"Left to my own devices I'll probably melt the pan," she joked as she glanced up. Wow. Big kid. "Don't think I've met you before. New?"

Re: Boil Water

"Yeah," Hurley said. "My name's Hurley. I... don't see why we need partners to boil water, but I'm not gonna ask the teacher about that."

Re: Boil Water

Cal found himself a stove and looked around for a partner who might assist him in this oh so difficult task that lay before him to accomplish.

But at least he was out of that damn sex ed class. He'd take boiling water over that any day.

"I hear there's nothing quite like watching water boil," John remarked with a smile. "I think we're in for a winning project here."

Re: Boil Water

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Cal said, looking into the pot of water, "I think I'd like to see some evidence first regarding watching paint dry before I make a decision on a matter like this."

Re: Boil Water

[notahostage]

Wendy looked around for a partner in madness.

Shikamaru was making noises suspiciously like snoring, but his eyes were open.

Maybe he was just good at faking being awake.

Talk to the Teacher

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Who's all... there. And feeling smug that there was going to be a motivational movie made about how he reached these kids.

He hoped George Clooney would play him.

OOC

YOU CAN DO IT!

They made us watch that movie in Junior High. I think I slept through it.

Re: OOC

[momslilassassin]

...they have to mention to make sure you don't have more water than pot?! I fear for our collective intelligence.

Re: OOC

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

It's AWESOME.

I think all basic things need an explanation like this. If only because of that one commercial with a lady trying to shove a pizza into her toaster.
