Benzyl chloride

Benzyl chloride (BnCl) is a molecule that is a used to make pharmaceuticals and can also be used to make Phenyl-2-Propanone. Benzyl chloride is synthesized from toluene (benzyl hydride) by chlorination with TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid, pool chlorine) in sunlight with lithium bromide as a catalyst. The lithium bromide makes it so that you get benzyl chloride in hours instead of days. Phenyl-2-Propanone is synthesized by adding benzyl chloride in diethyl ether (or even better, dibutyl ether for higher yield) and adding magnesium turnings. You make benzyl magnesium chloride. Then you react it with acetonitrile and then do a hydrochloric acid work-up to get Phenyl-2-Propanone.

I reacted toluene (benzyl hydride, paint thinner) with TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid, pool chlorine) in sunlight with lithium bromide catalyst and got benzyl chloride in a matter of hours.

Colorado kiss

The man positions himself on the back of his shoulders with his knees over his head. The woman sucks him until he starts to ejaculate. Then she quickly pulls off, allowing him to spray his own seed all over his face. They then finish with a sloppy kiss.

"So he took me back to his place, and he asked for a Colorado kiss. I'm still washing that crap out of my eyebrows!"

colorado cropduster

Colorado is known for its ascending ski lifts, but the Colorado Cropduster is a special treat that can be given on any crowded public escalator: all you need is a healthy fart and a crowded escalator. The gift-giver gets on the escalator and while walking up it, lets out a steamy fart for the unassuming people behind him. The fart and the smell ascends with the gift giver and all of those behind him have to walk up and through the smell as it slowly hovers and ascends to the top. Even those who are not walking up the escalator and are just stationary still have to toil through the smell as they slowly ascend to the top.

Dude, I rode the subway to work today and pulled a Colorado Cropduster as I ascended up the exit escalator. The smell hovered and at least 20 people had to walk through it to get to where they were going. How about that for a special morning treat!

Chlorine Bath

When, in the summertime, instead of having a regular shower in your bathroom you jump in a chlorine-filled pool to disinfect yourself from the sweat and sunscreen that you've accumulated on your body since the last time you had a shower.
