Today on the Dairy: Fire water, controllers and hankies!
A Colorado couple discovered their water supply was explosive thanks to a natural gas leak that's been seeping into their home and water well. A leak that is so bad that they can actually light their flowing water on fire. Yeah, that really can't be good.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Commission leaders say it's tried to find the origin of the leak. Director Dale Neslin says "We've looked at well compilation reports, taken gas samples to look for a match, done pressure testing and we've not been able to find the well that appears to be causing the problem."
The Ellsworths say they approached Noble Energy and Anadarko Petroleum - the two companies that operate the nearby wells - and begged for help. They say the companies initially refused to do anything. But, at the urging of the Oil and Gas Commission, they have now agreed to put in a water treatment system at the home.
They had to beg for help? Hmm, maybe this is just my fanatical opinion, but why should anyone ever have to beg for help when their water and home are at the risk of EXPLODING FIRE?!? Shameful conditions, I say!

I've tried so many times to explain what Twitter is to my friends and family but, despite all of the practice you'd think I'd be getting, I can't. In fact, I probably just make it sound even more absurd than it already is. In my defense, like everything, it is what you make it, and so far it's been in the Dairy's favor. But from now on, if anyone asks me to explain, I'm just going to show them this video and call it a day.
The Periodic Table Of Controllers
There may be a butt load of snooze-worthy "periodic tables" floating around but Flickr-er Pixel's Fantasy's Periodic Table of Controllers kicks that butt load in, erm, the butt! I don't know why but controllers just seem so much more scientific!
A couple of weeks ago DigitalSoaps received some web-licity for their video game controller soaps and it seems as though the popularity was limited to the Playstation and NES jelly-esque controller. Yeah, they're great, but how did the realistic Xbox soap controller not receive the same, if not more, notoriety than its featured cousins? For shame. I'd like to make it up to the realistic Xbox soap controller right here, right now. Why? Because it's awesome and you know you want to wash your hands and body with it.
The Realistic Xbox Replica Soap is available from the DigitalSoaps Etsy Shop for $12.00, along with more nerdy sudsy goodies.
A lazy concept by the designers of MiteMite, the Lazy Sunday Pants are both lazy and well, pants. Why is that worth mentioning?I don't know, maybe it's just me but I always thought the ultimate pair of lazy pants would be no pants. I'm sure Luke could back me up on this one. We do pay him to wear pants after all.
Oh, the Dow Jones. It's probably the last thing you want to be faced with when you're crying. And if you're not crying already, you sure as hell will be. That's pretty impressive for a hanky to transform your boogies to tears. The only one I've ever heard of being able to do that was the freshly-cut-onion handkerchief, which was really just an onion. Yeah, it didn't do so well in the boutiques...
The Dow Jones Hanky is available from DesignGlut for $28.00.

Looks like they won't have to worry about running out hot water any time soon.
My thoughts on Twitter exactly.....I get the point of it....I just don't care...
And I totally need the lazy sunday pants.
THE FAIL WHALE IS AWESOME!!
That Twitter video made my day.
You'd think that a faucet with a gas leak bad enough to catch on fire would be taken care of immediately, though.
