"Clay Achin'", Way to Die #243, is the second death to be featured in "Fatal Distractions", which aired on October 5, 2010.
Plot[]
A couple of stoners, Joe and Charlie, created a bong out of clay, the Claymaker 420. Along with using weed and smoke, they used flavor disks to flavor the weed; chopped bacon, coffee-dipped paper, orange peels, any flavor. After they finished their creation, all they had to do was to bake it into a kiln. Their female friend had one in her backyard, and she put the bong in the kiln. After she turned on the propane, all three of them smoke cannabis. Over time, Joe and Charlie went to see how the kiln was doing. After noticing that the kiln's flame was out, all they had to do was to light a match to warm it up. Instead, the lit up match turns the bong into a bomb, and turns the clay into deadly shrapnel, and the resulting explosion kills the two stoners and sending them to hell. Their female friend was not only shocked and a little scared, but also a little bummed.
Transcript[]
(Two stoners making something with clay)
Narrator: Joe and Charlie were a contradiction.
Joe: (Giggling)
Narrator: Industrious stoners. Today's project, the Claymaker 420, the greatest and most radical bong ever.
Joe: Sweet.
Narrator: They got their hands on some pottery clay and went to work.
N.J. Weedman: I've seen bongs in all shapes and sizes. I've seen seven-foot bongs that you got to take apart like a pool stick. I've seen bongs that you plug into the wall.
Narrator: The Claymaker 420 was designed with a unique feature that would set it apart from any other bong in the Stoner Kingdom.
(Harpa song)
Narrator: Flavor discs.
Charlie: Wake and bacon, dude.
Narrator: Let's say you just woke up, and you're ready to wake and bake. How about a hit of bacon-flavored weed? You'll need a hit of coffee to go with that, too; or suck down a lung full of orange-flavored smoke.
Joe: Sweet.
Narrator: After a few hours of hard work, the industrious stoners sat back to marvel at their creation.
(Both stoners look in awe at their creation)
Stoners: Whoa…
Narrator: The Claymaker 420.
Joe: We're going to be rich, bro.
Narrator: Before they could start "raking in the dough", they first had to fire the clay.
Friend: Hey!
Charlie: Hey!
Joe: What's up?
Narrator: One of their friends had a homemade kiln in her backyard. They popped over…
(The friend opens the kiln)
Narrator: Dropped it in...
(Then she closes the kiln)
Friend: And turned the gas on.
Narrator: And while they waited for it to bake, they got baked.
(Scene cuts to the three of them getting drugged and waiting)
Narrator: After a wasted while, the two stoners went to check on their creation.
(Joe and Charlie get up while their friend is asleep, checking on the kiln)
Joe: It's not even warm.
Narrator: The makeshift kiln had flamed out, nothing a lit match couldn't fix.
(Joe tries to match the light on the kiln while he and Charlie see inside until…)
BOOM!
(The girl wakes up suddenly because of the explosion sound)
Narrator: Their invention went from bong to bomb, turning the clay into deadly shards of shrapnel.
Rick Hernandez: Propane pooling is caused by the weight of propane. Propane's heavier than air. So it tends to settle to the lower parts of the inside of a kiln or any area that's not well ventilated. In a catastrophic explosion like this, the gas has been on and so it's been collecting inside. So apparently when they went to ignite it, there was already a pool of propane in there, causing the explosion.
(Recap)
Narrator: The Claymaker 420 could've made Joe and Charlie a bundle.
(The friend stands up and walks towards one of her dead friends)
Narrator: Instead, it cost them… their lives.
Friend: Bummer.

- This death takes place 4 years after Frost-Dead And 20 years after Hang Dunked.
- The death card doesn't play the usual sound other cards use once the words get on there, same for the transition to the in between.
