apparently, you can make your own liquid nitrogen if you hold up a can of air upside down and only let small trickle of air out so that it creates droplets. then, with a small container, you let those droplets fall into this container and you've made yourself liquid nitrogen.

I've been using compressed air to freeze bugs for years.
Every time there is a spider in the office, they call me to freeze it, and kill it.
It produces quite a bit, but it will evaporate quickly, and always remember, it is poisonous air you're breathing.
Try not to do it where you don't have good ventilation.

Also, try holding the can upside down, and spray a full blast. It shots out liquid and air.
If you spray an area of your skin that is sensitive, like the inside of your upper arm, it may actually burn you from the cold.
Shot a quick blast at the palm of your hand, it won't hurt, but it will scare the crap out of you.

actually, it boils and in that process it turns into vapor.

holding the can upside down is my favorite thing to do. then, it's sniffing the vapors to get a legally obtained...yet illegal...high

and, in order to get the liquid nitrogen in a capturable form, you would need to gently squeeze the trigger of the canned air for the vapors to condense enough to turn into droplets at which point you put them into a container to get the desired amount of liquid nitrogen.

some ppl use back-to-black or forever black, but those darken and alter the color- since our trim is actually dark gray and not entirely black.

i usually just clean it with soap & water...

i know it's not the best thing to use, but sometimes i'll use just a tiny bit of armor all- just to get rid of spots on plastic.

I use tons of armor all.
Just enough so it doesn't drip, but it's very shiny.
I've also used the Black Magic Tire Wet stuff. It's actually clear, not black.
I prefer the plastic look black for my car, even though it's technically dark grey.

In 1972, Joe Miller was on vacation in Kenya after graduating from Tulsa Junior College.

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Joe approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Joe worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to Joe, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Joe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Joe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Thirty years later, Joe was walking through the Tulsa Zoo with his family. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over, near where Joe and his family were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Joe, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1972, Joe could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Joe summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Joe's legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same elephant.

This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming BS stories.
