Well I had been messin with fire all day, we started by riding fire caught skateboards and playing with it other ways,I got home with chris and anthony ( friends ) when we filled a bottle with butane gas and light it and it completed caught fire, we droped it and almost burned the gas can up too. Then we did other stuff where the carpet was on fire, the last thing toped it all. We where burning all this paper in a tin can with it went out of control and the fire was all out when i threw my LC on top of it and saved us heh, the fire alarm went off and saved us luckly its safe just with a ring at bottom. Its washable but heh, my mom wasn't mad it was soo cool, thanks LC!

Now as you can see from this, if it was a PC, it would have given a blue screen of death, and caused the fire to spread faster

Or if it was Athlon powered it would have probably started it in the first place

If only I would have had an LC with me when my friend duck-taped a candle to a can of spray paint, lit the candle, sprayed the paint into the candle, chased me around the yard with the resulting flamethrower, and recorded the whole episode on videotape!

macdaddy's right, what is the fun in playing with fire? You could have been killed.

That's not recomended if you want to keep both your hands. If yo get burn back into the can it goes bang, which kinda chafes if you happen to be holding it. Remind your buddy of that next time he tries to flame trhower you!

Fires in waste paper bins are perfectly acceptable however

We once made a huge bonfire pyre at a scout camp, then sprayed the wood with the gas from a 9L barbecue LPG tank. Too bad the cold gas froze the wood so it took ages to light...

I admit it too, I'm a pyro too Playin' with fire is fun, but I do it OUTSIDE where I'm not gonna set anything else on fire! Even here in the flat farmlands of Northwest Ohio, it's possible to start a dry farm field on fire!
My more recent pyro-ness: I had some friends over about 3 weeks ago, and one of them brought over this model castle thing he had to make for a project in school about the Middle Ages. We set it up with some gas and some WD-40, and some firecrackers to blow the "ammo storage", and tossed a lit corn cob soaked in WD-40, to start the fire! I videotaped it, and just tossing that one small flame in made a cool fire show, with explosions of several packs of firecrackers when the fire hit the magazine of "ammo"!!!

When I was still in high school me and a few of my friends would make these rockets by taping blasting caps to the bottom of spray paint cans and then wedging them down a length of metal pipe buried in the ground. The blasting cap would blow out the bottom of the can and set the contents on fire, which would launch them into the air. We also would also wrap lighters up in toilet paper, set them on fire, and then shoot them with a BB gun to make them explode. I was at a party once, and someone had a fiberglass gun stock with a big piece of PVC pipe melted to it, he would fill it with blackpowder, and then light it with a sparkler and shoot fireballs at stuff. Of course the gun was not very well built, and before long the back of it blew out and set his hand on fire. I believe it was at the same party where someone bet me that I would not blow up an entire can of pyrodex at once...

The favourite of my dad when he was teaching me not to play with fire involved gasoline, MAPP Gas, black powder and some welding goop of some kind... Dad called it "Poor mans napalm".
