Melting your Xbox 360 on a stove top is one of the situations where you have to share your mistake with the world, fully knowing that you'll never live it down. Engadget reader Ty could tell you about this unfortunate privilege first hand.
It seems that Ty was pressed for space during a Halo 3 LAN party. One Xbox 360 took its position on the kitchen stove. Due to an ill-timed accidental (or maybe not) rangetop activation, this console has a nice, circular melted hole in one of its sides.
I'm sure that Ty has already heard enough "nice mod!" and "Xbox 360 overheat extreme" jokes to last a lifetime, but I don't know that Ty reads Destructoid, so be sure to contribute your comments below.

Kid: Hey mom, what's for dinner tonight"
Mom: Oh, I decided to cook your 360 since you are a bastard of a son. for dessert we are having your DS and maybe a little PSP on the side.
Kid: *Crying*
Mom: That's right, push those tears out. I swear...you're just like your father.

Don't flame the poor guy, it will hurt his self-esteam.
This whole thing will boil over eventually.
oh you witty S.O.B., this is no place for your shenanigans. What do you think this is? A shenaniganarium? A tomfooleriustus? NO! It is a shenanigatorium. And don't you forget it!
Sorry, to flame you. Am I fired? (goo-ka-goo-goo)
@Ty
Well you know what to do now...turn it into a bong. You see you put the pot into the disc tray and light it off of the 90nm chip. Brilliant. Brilliant!
One more: Red Ring of Stove
I'm embittered that someone put his 360 on a lit stove and it still works while mine is down for repairs for non-open flame related reasons.
That was bad...
Ok, that's enough terrible puns for the day.
That awful enough for ya, blehman?
lol@waterwind dale
