    "Have you seen Tremors???"
    NO No no, wrong question. 'How many times have I seen Tremors' is what you SHOULD be asking, and tbh, I lost track!
    It's one of those classic movies you can watch over and over again, and it'll never get old!

    rice and roaches... I used to build restaurant kitchens. Was in a very classy part of town, but Teriyaki restaurant. I used a stack of rice bags to get to the ceiling - when I stepped on it.... the floor became alive. But, that's not the worst. Dairy Queen. This particular one (franchise), had their cooking equipment 6" away from the wall. They never cleaned between the equipment and the wall - thus the space filled with fry grease. I had to pry the equipment off the wall - and when I did - bug homes throughout the grease.... still gives me shivers and it's been 30 years since I had that adventure....

      Yep, I had the misfortune of working underneath a Chinese restaurant to run a phone cable. I'm 6'9" and the roof was maybe 5 foot high. Crouched down with a torch, I walked deep under the floor of the restaurant and heard "something" rustling above me. Turned the torch above my head and the WHOLE ROOF WAS CRAWLING. Just above my head was millions of cockroaches coating the roof, eating the grease and crud seeping through the floorboards. I exited, stage left and never went back. Still gives me the heebie jeebies. Ewwwweee

    Two friends of mine were at one of their homes sitting around a small cask of gunpowder, reloading some ammo when one of them somehow set off a spark that ignited it. It blew one guy through the door, pushed out several walls, including the garage wall which impacted both cars in the garage, lifted the roof slightly, pulverized the sheet rock and blew out the windows in the front of the house. One of my friends suffered permanent hearing impairment and the other had some teeth loosened. Those are all of the injuries. Both of them were within 2 feet of the gunpowder. The ATF investigator said that they should both be dead. God protects fools and drunks.

    I worked as an analyst for a large insurance company. One of the things I had to track was unemployment rates per county per month because as unemployment rates went up, the increased likelihood of people burning down the thing of the greatest value for the money.

    I used to work for a company that packaged "bug bombs" that had locking spray caps so the consumer could activate the release of the insecticide as a fogger. The idea was a person simply set off the cannister and left the premises. There were VERY specific directions as to the number of cannisters to use per volume of the room/house and very explicit warnings to not have any open flames or pilot lights when using the "bombs". However, people being mostly idiots ignored every direction and warnings, figuring if one can was good, then ten cans MUST be better, plus they totally ignored the requirement to extinguish any open flames, but best of all, several dismissed the direction to VACATE the property during the fogging operation.
    The insecticides were not the problem, but the required cannister propellant such as isopropane and isobutane which are flammable (those propellants are used in spray paints, brake cleaners and most aerosols. Compressed air didn't have enough lasting pressure volume and would have to be at a dangerously high pressure to work at all.)
    Bottom line is several apartments, houses and buildings caught fire, exploded, etc. all due to people ignoring all warnings. Yes, there were lawsuits, but most were dismissed due to the admitted stupidity of the consumer.

      I was in Las Vegas when someone did that! He turned off the gas to his house. But he used too many cans, and the spark from the lights turning on caused the explosion.

    I tease a friend of mine because she got this acting job on a TV show about urban legends where she accidentally blew up her husband while he sat on the toilet. Supposedly it's based on a true story of a wife cleaning up some spilled gasoline in the garage left after her husband was working on his motorcycle. She wrung out the rags in the toilet. Shortly afterwards her husband was sitting on the toilet, smoking a cigarette and dropped the remains of the cigarette in the toilet bowl .... and BLAM!

    I hate that I sat through another Morning Show. Okay. What I know about Insurance is the owners house always pays then the insurance company sues the other company for restitution later. That way the house gets fixed faster and the owner is not left out in the cold during any dispute. Tremor's IS NOT the best movie in the world, it is April's favorite movie in the world. Really cool subject matter. One more tidbit. I went into a house of a person that I vaguely knew, an older woman with a special needs 50 year old child. I smelled natural gas as I walked into the house and saw that she had water boiling on stove. The smell was really thick so I looked closer and I saw the feed gas line into the stove had a hole in it. We immediately called the city and they sent a guy out to repair the line but I really believe to this day that she created the hole because she was so overwhelmed by her special needs son. It still haunts me to this day that she might have wanted to end it all and I thwarted her plan. I was sick from exposure the rest of the day.
