Just in Time for Halloween: How to Make Your Own Slime!

If you're too old for slime, you're too old to be using a computer. Seriously, Gramps, don't you know the evils you can find on this here machine?

There's just something so satisfying about sticking your hand in a big bucket of glop and making it fart. Or squeezing said glop in your fist and letting it dribble out between the fingers (bonus for fart noises).

Since slime brings out the kid in all of us, and Halloween is the ultimate kid holiday, I've scoured the 'net and found the best slime recipe out there, courtesy of InfoBarrel, to make your very own fart-tastic holiday fun:

Ingredients:

water
white glue (like Elmer's™)
borax
food coloring (the weirder the color, the creepier the ooze)

How to do it:

In one mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of water with 1 teaspoon borax
Stir until the borax has completely dissolved.
In a second bowl, combine 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 cup of glue.
Add food coloring until the mixture is the desired color.
Combine the two mixtures.
Once combined, the mixture will become more difficult to stir, so get rid of your spoon and start working the goop by hand.
When it seems like it's well mixed, remove it from the bowl (some colored water left behind is OK).

Your slime is ready! To store, slip slime into a zippered freezer bag and keep in the refrigerator.
