1 can of flamable spray (Lysol worked great) one lighter and an antbed.  Step in the antbed and let them start crawling all over, then go to town with the lighter and lysol.

 Stop

 Wait 1 hour for them to get all their dead in a pile, then kick the thing again and repeat....

okokok....  Another one.

Was about 6 years old.  I had an older, and more importantly, less supervised friend just up the street.  One day, we're in his garage, tinkering with matches, and we decide to turn my bike into a motorcycle.  We make a tinfoil "tailpipe", attach it to my schwinn, complete with playing card in the spokes for the "engine".  We stuff all kinds of paper, foam, and some flammable chemicals of some sort.  Lit it up, and I started riding.

In my excited, 6 year old innocent state, the first thing I did was ride by my dad, who was in our driveway up the street washing our car.  First thing he did was completely hose me down, then got real pissed.  I was just really mad that he put out my motorcycle.

The flames coming off that schwinn must've looked real cool though.

My dad taught me how to take black powder, cannon fuse, Testor's paint bottles and turn them into cool grenades.

Maybe 4-5 years ago two friends and myself were in a different friend's garage waiting for him to finish cleaning.  

Being bored, we found a gas can half full with fuel, and poured some over a hammer.  Friend A wanted a flaming hammer deal while Friend B and myself disagreed.  He ignited the hammer, held it up in some weird pose, DIRECTLY over the gas can... we watched in horror as a single drop of fuel fell (in slow motion) from the hammer to the top of the gas can.  The siding ignited and somehow ignited a patch of oil from one of the cars in the garage.  Friend B kicked the gas can out of the garage, the flames spread to some boxes of clothing stacked on the wall.  I found a large plywood board (4ft x 4ft about) and threw it on the flaming pile of oil/gas.  Friend A took the half burning boxes of clothes and tossed them onto the concrete.  The rest was put out courtesy a garden hose.  

The flames were UNBELIEVABLY high, almost about to climb up the wooden walls.  I crapped my pants twice!  We were amazed we actually got the shrecker out... even though we almost burned down our friend's garage, we still thought it was pretty darn cool :D  

(our friend still knows nothing of the incident :D)

Fire no.  Electricity yes.

When I was about 2 1/2 years old I pulled the electrical prong, from the T.V., have way out of the electical outlet.  I then proceeded to lick it.  

*Zorch!!!*

*Bwaaaaa!*


My dad, saw the tail end of this and said to himself, "Heh, he won't do that again."

*lick*

*Zorch!!!*

*Bwaaaaa!*



My dad, somewhat amazed at this display, was pretty sure I had learned my lesson.


*lick*

*Zorch!!!*

*Bwaaaaa!*

Alas, my boundless optimism was finally restrain and I learned that maybe the electrical outlet wasn't my friend...or snack.

Another time, much later in life.  I went on a smoke break with a guy I didn't know very well.  I was trying to get my cigarette lit, but it was windy, so I was having trouble.  The guy pulls out this Bic lighter (one of the adjustable flame ones).  I put the cigarette in my mouth, cupped my hands around the lighter, flicked it, and lost one of my eyebrows.  The love muffin had "adjusted" the lighter to turn it into a blowtorch.  I was pissed.  My boss asked why I had no eyebrow (only lost one that time).  It was a bit of time before I grew it back, and every now and then someone had the balls to ask what had happened to my eyebrow.


I lost an eyebrow in an accident with a bong back in the 60s. Instead of walking around with only one eyebrow I shaved the other one and drew on eyebrows every day with a Magic Marker. It was cool cause I could make myself look like I was scowling with one eyebrow yet look surprised with the other eyebrow. I can't believe Greese walked around looking like a freak.

Legos, Hot Wheels, fire, plastic army men...
All of these were staple toys to me.
The thrill of fire could only be outmatched by getting air on my bike or sled.

Do Not!
I Repeat, Do Not,
fill one of those water rockets with gasoline and then launch it 12 inches over a burning rag!
If you do, your hands, arms and shirt will instantly ignite!

I can still remember looking straight up, searching for my fire-breathing rocket, and then suddenly feeling warm all over.

We dug a hole once and filled it with lighter fluid and made a burning hell pit.  Melted down a whole bunch of toys and items to slag.  Including steel items.  But wait we know that can't happen, those WTC tinfoil hat experts told me so!
I must have been under Republican mind control even at age 12.
