You grow a mustache, part your hair down the middle, and start making large orders for gutta percha and shellac.

International Rectifier call you when they run out of ideas for new products. (This probably happens to Richie all the time, too.)

You get a job working on particle accelerator drivers at Fermilab on the strength of your DRSSTC work, beating 200 other applicants. (I'm not saying who this happened to, except that it unfortunately wasn't me)

...all the houses in your neighborhood (or better yet general area) have to get a new roof every few years from the acid rain caused by the continuous ozone cloud eating the tar away.

Fine.

...you have caused so many semiconductor explosions your roof has eroded from acid rain :D.

Even though i am sure silicon smoke wouldn't do it either, but burning petroleum product smoke does XD.
