Fire is Scary

If you know me, you know I love fire...but to a certain extent.

Earlier in the evening I purchased a zippo-ish lighter and later on bought some fluid. I've been trying to figure out how to fill it up for awhile and yadda yadda yadda, i was in my closet and I lit the thing and it erupted into flame. I dropped it instinctively and watched the flames quickly grow. One of my plastic drawers was on fire (mostly just fluid burning) and It wasn't getting any smaller. I grabbed a shirt and just started pounding the hell out of it until the flames dissapeared and ash spread throughout my closet. In the meantime, two of the firecrackers that were in my drawer, went off! People are here sleeping and two ****ing firecrackers went off in my room. It's been about 35 minutes and nobody has come out here to see what the hell happened. I got some ash on a few clothes and the floor, but no real damage was done. I almost burned down my house, I'm still ****ing shaking...

Got any scary fire experiences you'd like to share?

well that'll learn ya.. consider yourself lucky oh young one

cheers

Jesus what a psycho!

Damn Joey, you silly bastard! Haha. I've done a few things like that in my day.

In your day of what? 13?

cheers

I once tried lighting a bonfire in the back garden, but no matter how much I tried, the blessed thing would not light. Aha!! I'll get the petrol container from the car and throw a bit on, that should get it going I thought. However I had underestimated the force of the petrol and the whole thing kind of blew back on me, knocking me a few feet back. Mrs E came running out and found me with out any eyebrows, and my face as black as the Ace of Spades! She found it immensly funny! Couldn't see what was so funny myself....

I love that track.

My thoughts exactly.

The closet is probably the least safe place to start a fire. What was the problem with just doing it outside?
Maybe no one's coming to check things out because everyone assumed you just learned a really "explosive" guitar lick!
Myself, I used to blow up LEGO guys with firecrackers, and then my cousin showed me how to air flammable fumes into a PVC pipe so you can use it as a pseudo-flame thrower!

I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter ...

You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter.... no, wait, Joey is the firestarter, twisted firestarter.

Don't tell me you "forgot" there were firecrackers inside your drawer (what the hell were they doing there in the first place?!) before you lit that lighter?

Why the heck were you trying that stunt anyway?

Loon!

I didn't want the lighter to erupt into flame! I think some fluid had spilled into the drawer, and the fluid-soaked cotton inside the lighter caught on fire too

Take that, creationists!

You're all insane.
