Final Pizza Party for '07

The season has come to a close. We had the final pizza party for '07 in mid-October. It went down as the hottest. Not from a weather standpoint but rather from the fire. It burned hot. The melting was taken to an all new high. Many new objects were put to the test on the flames. I'm sorry to report, none survived. The new items were various coins along with beer cans and other assorted bottles beyond the usual fair.


Here's a shot of the first victim - a Bud Light bottle. Paul was in charge of the melting. He took a different tack at the start. Normally the bottles are inserted into the oven on their sides. Paul wanted to see how they would react when inserted standing up. As you can see in the photo the neck of the bottle felt the heat first. With the biggest impact on the back side. So the first move was from the top and towards the fire. It slumped very quickly.


Here's a shot of most of the die-hards. It was a chilly evening so we spent most of the time huddled around the fire. At this point Paul was done with all his experiments. Justin was caught telling one of his tall tales. Time for serious fun.
