"KENMORE, Wash. - Buttered popcorn is 16-year-old Mitchell Duffy's favorite movie-theater treat.
But he didn't like that only the top layer of popcorn got the concessionaire's squirt of butter.
So the junior at Inglemoor High School in Kenmore invented the "Butter Blaster." The long, thin cylinder with small holes can be shimmied into a tub of popcorn."

Yes the word "crisis" is actually used twice.

1. I can only find the word 'crisis' once.
2. You do recognize a joke when you see one, right?
3. So a teen makes an invention. He's got his eyes open. Good for him. I hope he'll make millions. Or at least some pocket money.

Yes, but was General Disarray involved in any way, shape or form?

I know the South Park guys are always involved in SOME kind of mayhem, mischief, crisis or disarray or something.

Wow. Inglemoor High School.
They were a rival school to my high school. Kenmore is just down the street. Different neighborhood though.

Why do I think of something sexy? Shimmying a long hard rod into the popcorn that allows the hot butter to shoot out deep inside the bucket?

Give petty people just a little bit of power and watch how they misuse it! You can't silence the self doubt, can you?

You forgot the part about several holes along the shaft that allow even distribution.
I dunno but I don't find that all so sexy.

Do you have Prince Albert in the can? Or should I say, in the bucket?

I noticed you avoided saying "below the head." I admire those who are precise.

Am I the only person who considers wet, mushy, "butter"-soaked popcorn disgusting? I like for popcorn to be dry and crunchy in my mouth.
It's not even real butter. It's vegetable oil with artificial coloring and flavoring. (The Senator Theatre is an exception. They use actual butter, from a cow, to top their popcorn.)

I agree, it is totally nasty. When I sit in the theatre and somone has popcorn with butter is smells like eggy farts. Sometimes I even move.
Instead of butter I like putting those flavored sprinkles on it like Salt and Vinegar.

I'm with you. Although I do like a bit of flavor on it, I shudder thinking of those kernels that squish in my mouth...gross.

No. But I like the variety of soggy, buttery, salty and the dry flavorless crunchy and the interplay between the two. Sometimes there's too much soggy. Sometimes there's too much crunchy but it all evens out by the end of the movie, usually.

That plot synopsis actually sounds a lot better than most movies out nowadays.
They should make this kid's story into a 3-hour epic.

Thanks. But alas, I can't take credit for it.
I lifted the plot from, "Dharma & Greg."
