I went to the Geek Dinner at the Texas Embassy on Tuesday. It was great fun. Great food, great beer and great company. Finally got to meet Nick Swan. I have chatted to him for ages on MSN Messenger but never actually spoken to him or met him. :P

Hugh and Robert Scoble were the organizers and it was a great evening. Around 200 people arrived and it was a great atmosphere. Podcasters were there as well. Was tons of fun.

But this is not the reason for this blog post. No my friends there is a far more sinister reason. Beware before reading any further. You have been warned! :)

Microsoft had all these little Channel 9 little toys. Some pictures of them can be seen here. So because (as previously discussed :P ) I am a bastard, I took a few. And left them in my bag. For a few days.

Time passes and I decide to use my bag again. I open the bag and am nearly killed by the noxious fumes coming out of the bag. The little Channel 9 dude’s are the most chemical filled toys I have ever seen in my life. And might I say, FLAMMABLE. Yes folks, I took one outside last night and put it out of it’s misery. I have never seen something catch fire as quickly as that, that THING.

Nothing more to say. A picture says a thousand words. Clicky
