I was debating with myself whether or not to make a tissue box combustion, but I decided to do it. I had a snow day today and got bored, so I took the sparker off my big gun. This thing is horrible, I did it just for kicks, just to see for myself that it can be done.

I think I have a leak in the box...

Cool flame, but what are you thinking? Your gonna burn yourself up. But if it makes you happy, it makes me happy.

I have no idea what I was thinking. I think it's because I went to sleep staring at that box. Yes it made me very happy. I think it wins the award for cream of the crap.

Wow. That soda can thing sounds like it could go somewhere. BTW Killa, all of my tissue boxes are pressure rated. Maybe you buy some cheap kind?

I dare anyone to make a tissue box pneumatic! Or just a normal pve pneumatic with a tissue box stuffed in the chamber out of sight.
