It slips on a couple words or phrases here and there (usually when drinking or around my mom) but I am very self aware of my speaking so that I don't use it. The fascination with and so-called 'comedy' surrounding it is so cringe that I had to separate myself from it.

Reply to Best Christmas Light Displays? by evanezzer
Not the "best" but perfect for kids. Go to Garfield Rd in Dedham. Huge light display in a residential backyard that has been going on for years. They let you walk around their yard and sometimes have hot chocolate out. I think they even have a day where Santa comes. It's free but they have a donation box at the entrance.
There's also a house in Hyde Park on Meadowview near the dead end that has a legit professional lights display on the front of the whole house. It's like one of those videos where the lights sync to some shit like Party Rock Anthem, tho I don't think this place has music synced up.
Not sure if they are up and running yet (moved out of the city) but they were there last year.
Edit: Tyndale St in Roslindale is also decked out every year. We used to park next to Fallon Field and walk Tyndale with kids

Because blue + yellow = green. Same reason Spain is orange. Their flag is yellow and red.

Nice! I did that as well when I used to repair them for a living. The spark would sometimes arc to the ignitor guard rather than the burner tube. Now, bake some cookies.

Put a towel in there and sit a pot of boiling water on it and shut the door. Repeat until the frost is gone. Steam is the best.

If it is truly a spark ignition, you could have a grounded wiring harness.
What brand oven? Whirlpool had a big issue with this because they routed the wiring incorrectly and it would get cut by the oven frame (opening/closing oven drawer could move a loose harness and cause chaffing). Typically these ignition systems spark and open the gas valve at the same time. If you don't get ignition in 5 attempts, it stops, but you've had gas pumping into the oven cavity which can cause the odor.
Does your broiler work?

Whirlpool switched to spark ignition. Not sure if they are still using it
