Should Gummi get the big OTG for his bday?

Yes, the kettle is actually 27" so the gift is a great idea!

No, the kettle is actually only 26" and I don't like America.

27" kettle?
« on: June 19, 2014, 12:45:58 PM »
So my 27th b-day is coming up and my wife keeps bugging me about what I want. I told her I don't really need anything, but then I figured I'd get creative and ask for a 27" kettle. Golden kettle bday gift or something like that. Mrs. Gummi googles it and voids the idea because it's only 26.75". Any thoughts or strategies for this one?

1. Tell her you are used to being just a little short.  ;D
2. Tell her you'll glue a shiny new quarter to the lid vent.
3. Tell her you may be turning 27, but you don't look a day over 26 years 9 months.

Nice! Steel has a thermal expansion coefficient of 7.3 10^-6 in/in oF so to get the 26.75" to expand to 27" I would need to heat it up to 1280F  :o

Too funny!
