Just lit myself on fire for the second time in my life.

It's not as fun as it might sound.

First time was a botched flaming shot, Bacardi 151. I prefer not to reveal what happened this time, sufficed to say it was dumb.

So how have you accidentally set yourself on fire?

Did it warrant an ER visit or just an unlit shot of rum to ease the pain?

I've heard people say that Blue Darting is a dangerous sport. Your testimony is confirmation.

"Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my skull." Love The Boss, but that song has some disturbing mental pictures.

I'm talking about actual fire.

I got off without a burn. This time.

Hell I may as well come clean. I was reloading the Zippo I use on the golf course for stogies. I spilled a bit of fuel on my hands and when I test fired the lighter, well my hand went up in flames. After screaming like a girl and jumping around for a bit the fuel was used up and my hand was none the worse for wear. A bit of excitement on an otherwise boring Thursday.

This reveals me to be a very geeky child, but what the heck. I used to make scale models of WWII airplanes when I was a kid, around 12 years old or so. BUt i didnt like the kits because they werent detailed enough so I would custom make parts to scale for interior pieces and canopies and so forth. I did this by carving wooden molds (based on drawings and photogrpahs of actual aircraft) whch I moutned on a post. Then I used a candle to soften shets of plastic (diffrent gauges depending on what I was makign) and then when ti was soft enough I pulled it ocver the mold and volia, a to scale accurate part.

Once I was leaning over the mold and working a thick piece of plastric when I suddenly smelled a horrible acrid odor. I stopped, trying to figure out what it was when my scalp became very hot. I then realize that while leaning over my hair (which was very long and parted in the middle; hey, it was the early 70s) had been over the candle and had caught on fire. I began jumping arond smacking myself in the head. I got it put out before too much damage was done, but I was left with a long streak of hairless scalp right of the middle of my head that took weeks to grow back.

That's nothing, as a teen, I used to spray hairspray on my hand/arm, then walk up to random people on the street and light it, scaring the hell out of them.

Did you also eat paint chips as a child?

What are doing lighting your stogie outdoors with a Zippo? For crying out loud, get yourself a torch.

Not buying it, landpoke. What you didn't know is that you were caught on hidden camera:

That would explain a lot.

I was a pyromaniac as a child. I once filled a big ol' syringe with gasoline and lit the stream coming out, using it as a flamethrower. This was cool, but it wasn't enough. So I made some paper airplanes, the glider kinds that swoop and swirl in big loopy arcs. I was going to torch them out of the sky. Everything starts pretty well, and I'm tracking the plane with my torch when it swoops down past my leg and I follow. I go up in flames. Brothers and sisters, I have a testimony of 'stop drop and roll.' It works. Don't forget it.

That guy is a Russian. He used the words sooka (сука) and blyad' (блядь). Sooka means bitch. Blyad' is one of the more popular Russian swear words. It means whore/slut. As far as severity, I would rate blyad' as worse than the S word but not quite as bad as the F word.
