My imagination has been slightly... dead lately with all the work on my book I've doing. So anyway, do you think you guys could help me by filling in the blanks here: “Yeah, there was also an incident with a *something weird*,” piped up one of the Agents, “we chased it all over and we accidentally dumped this pile of xxx into a vat of xxx and it exploded, covering-“ Smith gave his Agent the evil eye. “But I won’t get into that,” the man finished hastily. So, just come up with something funny to go inside *something weird* and come up with two chemicals or materials that will explode in a gooey mess when combined. Thanks. EDIT: Oh, and BTW, whatever it is needs to be short and to the point. I doubt the man could sit there telling a long story with his boss sitting there glaring like that.

“Yeah, there was also an incident with a pregnant three-legged hippopotamus,” piped up one of the Agents, “we chased it all over and we accidentally dumped this pile of Norwegian muscle-building protein into a vat of bikini wax and it exploded, covering-“ Smith gave his Agent the evil eye. “But I won’t get into that,” the man finished hastily. ------------------ |

Okay... I would have never of thought of that one.  It's funny but unfortunately it won't fit. I probably should have given the setting. They are in a top secret research facility for an organization like NASA. They have been chasing a spy for over a week who they've only caught sight of him once or twice. The man who is speaking is simply relating anothe time the spy got away, and all the security personnel got all messed up, with the unspoken thought that Smith got all goo/slime/messed up. |

well... hmmm, if it's for more modern age, then combine certian stuff. be creative for the prefix and use a suffix like -onium, -ion, etc. blah blah blah. kinda take stuff for yer old chemistry classes. stuff like Xeronium, Futoin, Jareonium, HydroGarnide, Disoltate Tolium, etc. basically, I just chose a random letter on my keyboard and built on it. it's crazy what comes up. as for the wierd thing... hmmm... how weird? pretty normal stuff would be a robot or something. if you want to get wierd... dunno. the pregant three legged hippo pretty much tops it all of. except for Bob the mutant three-legged santa monkey. don't ask... it's this thing between a friend of mine and me. she gave me this thing and... nevermind. Note to Self: never mix Norwegian muscle-building proteins and bikini wax. ------------------ |

For the mean time I'm putting this in place: “Yeah, there was also an incident in the sewage treatment plant,” piped up one of the Agents. “We chased that spy all over and we accidentally dumped this pile of barrels into a vat of heavily methane-laced waste. Combined, they exploded, covering-“ Smith gave his Agent the evil eye. “But I won’t get into that,” the man finished hastily. If any of you guys can think of something better, let me know. |

I was just watching the movie "The Core" and they build their ship out of a new material called "Unobtainium"...Laughed myself silly at that one. Maybe something like "Iseegeekium" |

That seems to fit. Something gross that the Agent really wudn't want the guy talking about... Unless it was something like "It exploded and this dirty nappy landed on..." Smith gave his Agent the evil eye. “But I won’t get into that,” the man finished hastily. Whats grosser than a dirty nappy? |
