... you sure you wouldn't rather have ABBA play at the lava lamp?
as long as were talkin' soap, how about this little washday ditty?

NO! ABBA is not allowed inside of the Giant Lava Lamp. They're a dumb band. The Lava lamp is cool.
Well, they can visit as visitors, but they can't play.

Soap Lake is a nice little town and we enjoyed our stay. I like it just fine the way it is. The lava lamp goes in the "My god! What the f### are they thinking!" category.

Well.... between you and I - - I don't think Keith Richards will be interested in performing in the lava lamp, so while the hamburger stand may sell a few more chicken finger baskets each year, I don't think it will make a boom-town of Soap Lake. But. So I think Soap Lake will still be as you like it. Waitaminute - I just thought of another idea! The Giant Lava Lamp can be a stage for an annual Soap Lake Shakespeare Festival.
That would make it a boom-town.
Sorry, Mike!

No it won't. There'll be a big-assed f### lava lamp looming over the town. We'll be going right by with eyes averted to Grand Coulee or even ...gasp! Othello.

See, even you like the Shakespeare theme.

Wow! Tell us how you really feel Kim. 
Me, I'm excited about the giant lava lamp.
Firstly because it IS art. ( old discussion ) and also because I think it would be cool to just sit out there in a folding lawn chair, and stare at it for a while.
I am concerned about the warm up time. You know, when the bubbles are just a solid, lifeless blob.

Exactly. I've considered visiting Soap Lake one day, but not if they put in such a stupid thing as that. Why some people just can't leave "good" alone, I'll never understand.

well, because sometimes "good" just isn't good enough.
why would anybody want to go look at a bunch of old trees?
but put up a 50-foot tall statue of Paul Bunyan and you have an attraction!

Per the Wikipedia article:
| Quote: | | The alkalinity of the lake is similar to that found on the moons of Jupiter. Because of this, in 2002 the National Science Foundation awarded a grant to researchers from Central Washington University to study the lake to learn about the possibility of life on Mars. |
This should be reason enough to go to Soap Lake, after all, who has the time and energy to travel to Jupiter? For the price of a few gallons of gasoline, you can go to Soap Lake and experience the same thing.
Element Milligrams/Liter
Sodium 5760
Bicarbonate 2480
Sulfate 2540
Carbonate 3840
Chloride 2290
Potassium 504
Organic nitrogen 0.9
Fluoride 7.2
Ortho-phosphate 6.3
Nitrate 0.7
Calcium 2.5
Magnesium 2.9
One thing I notice is that the above list does not contain any Tang.
Now, if Soap Lake had a lava lamp, would I be more likely to go? Yes, of course, because I am a touron. In fact I am probably the only nwhiker that is qualified to go to Soap Lake. Are you qualified? Ephrata not!
Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

I think this story might have something to do with the Giant Lava Lamp.
The nicotine addicted shooter is either protecting the lava lamp from officials from a neighboring town or county, even. It's in a silo somewhere around Soap Lake. That's where they're storing it.
Anyway, I think there are rival communities after it, and the guy in this news article is either defending it from a coup, or he's one of those involved in the heist.
Either way, the stand-off was ended via vape.
All for the sake of the Giant Lava Lamp.
