FLARP

At work yesterday, my boss (Gary, also my host 'dad') gave me a small container of Flarp. Flarp, for all of you who don't remember, is that really soft, silly putty stuff that makes fart sounds as you move it around and poke it in its container. It is the best invention for immature minds I have ever seen...

I used this Flarp to entertain the other interns during and after lunch and pretty much all day. We laughed and acted like 12 year old boys at lunch, seeing who could make the best fart sounds. I think I laughed too hard...it was a little embarrassing actually. I tend to have a pretty immature sense of humor and a lack of control of my laughter...not a good combination when you add Flarp to the mix.

Flarp is one of the most interesting substances to me. It's neither liquid nor solid...it just kind of molds around your fingers. It breaks apart with hard edges like a solid, but just turns to soup in your fingers. I could play with Flarp forever!

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I created a blog, so I could enlighten you all with my thoughts on Flarp. Hope you all enjoy it!

  1. Flarp is a non-Newtonian fluid. It means that when stressed it organizes itself into a solid. When it is not stressed, it organizes itself into a liquid.
