POPCORN can fly ten feet!

Popcorn - my main stay dinner when Mark works late or is traveling - we are in a work late status currently - so ... started to heat the oil, poured in the kernels was waiting until it started to bubble to put the lid on BUT... I sat on the armrest of the chair to watch a SECOND of American Idol to see who was leaving and got sucked in! A few minutes went by and I was hearing this noise - OMG the popcorn - it was flying everywhere in the kitchen - charging the stove kernels were flying at me - got down my shirt and pants - BURNING KERNELS - holy crap what a mess. Started over - it was good!
