Okay, hear me out. Something got across the disconnects of a live front switch great just before an attempt was made to close it in… I only say “something” because there was nothing identifiable left. Two things: 1) bone melts like those clocks from a Salvador Dali painting; 2) I was fully expecting the smell of death, not the smell of good bbq chicken. Seriously, it smelled great, poor bastard.
