Nick vs Stove, round 2

(Best when read in an old-timey radio announcers voice)
Last time, our brave and dashing hero was faced with quite a sticky predicament. It appeared that there was some sort of homemade napalm stuck to the bottom of the oven. It was causing all kinds of smoke and ruckus and fire alarms. So our intrepid hero scraped and scraped and scraped some more. Let me tell you folks, it was haaaaard business.

Our hero then broke out salt. Yes, salt; that spice favored by the ancients stops your oven from smoking by casting out the demons that live inside it. But our hero did not stop there, No-siree-bob. Yes he also blasted the unwholesome substance with the foulest and harshest chemicals known to man. And he let it sit overnight as acids and bases and other forms of science attacked the bottom of the stove. It was a sight to behold, truly a wonder of modern technology and progress.

So tonight, how will our hero fare? Will the twin dueling fists of salt and science be a match for the stove? Or will the oven overpower with its evil and cunning ways. Our hero checks the oven, staring deep into it like an athlete staring down a worthy opponent. And the gas is on! He checks, and rechecks! it looks like all is well. But wait. Whats that noise? Is it?! it is. The smoke alarm of shame has gone off again, and our hero has once again fallen to the stove. This is truly a calamity folks.

Tune in next week when our hero calls upon an old and trusted ally: Maintenance man!
