Airbed's are the devil. Never a good night's sleep, and always end up practically sleeping on the floor since the damn thing slowly deflates through the night. Or maybe I'm just fat.

Was he using liquid nitrogen to fill it?

I bought an Aerobed, thinking that if I spent the money on an expensive one, that it would work out. My fat ass would pop it every 2 or 3 nights requiring patchwork at 4 a.m. $170 down the drain.

I ended up trying a $30 Coleman suede camping one from walmart & it has never popped & it actually gives a good night's sleep.

Its luck of the draw man. I'm just glad that I didn't get the model that blows up your house. They should regulate this stuff.

Well, to be fair, we wouldn't sell him the Helium he wanted, which would have been much safer.

/Love making history jokes.

So that's what's wrong with mine. One day soon I'm just gonna turn on the motor and fill it with air till it goes boom.

/BLAM!

And this kiddies is why you need to read the farking directions before utilizing highly explosive chemicals.

This reminds me of the dumb Polish terrorist who was ordered to blow up a car ...

Wondering...If he asks his girlfriend for a blowjob, will she do the whole apartent complex?

I'm not seeing the reason for the dumbass tag. It's not like he tried inflating the bed with propane or acetylene or did anything else that a normal person would realize was unsafe.

...and burnt his lips on the exhaust pipe?

That blows.

I call shenanigans on this one. It couldn't possibly have happened like the article says it did. There's got to be more to it. Even if he filled the bed with natural gas it wouldn't have caused this big an explosion.
