House of flying kitchen tiles, or The former native speaker's kitchen self-destructs! 2

In this episode of the continuing story of the slow demise of the former native speaker's kitchen, we see the former native Chinese speaker making lunch, oblivious to the kitchen's murderous intent...

Suddenly, she hears creaking sounds. Before she can do anything, pieces of tile fly toward her, pointing their sharp edges at her...

Fortunately, her slow-moving but loyal companion Bing Xiang (冰箱) blocks the ceramic shards of death, saving her life.

The gruesome aftermath (caution: not for those with weak stomachs!):






To view the first episode in this series, click here. Note that this sequel has come out less than a year after the first episode. Take that, Sam Raimi!

Actually, the real story is the FNCS heard the noises and quickly got the camera to take shots as the tiles flew off the wall. (Unfortunately, the battery was dead, so she had to wait until it recharged to take pics of the aftermath...) But why ruin a good story with the truth?

This kitchen is sooo out to get you guys. Ms J used to have this problem with blow dryers, which would regularly spit pieces of metal (such as small screws) at her head. I wonder if this is karma: perhaps she damaged a blow dryer during some 1970s feathering attempt? Do you recall causing a kitchen pain in some past life?

I don't know... if anything, my attitude toward kitchens has always been one of benign neglect. Could this be the cause of the rage that is being directed at us?
