Well? Have you ever set something on fire? Are you a secret (or not-so-secret) pyromaniac?

All the legal stuff's a given.. logs, Marlboros, body parts, food...
My school chem tutor was insane in an if-he-ran-you-followed way (haven't we had this conversation recently?), and by 16 he'd taught me to love the idea that entropy is unidirectional. You pack a TV with magnesium and permanganate and it becomes very difficult to put back together.
Everybody likes fire - it's buried deep in our psyche to be interested in it - so I'm not bothered by people who say they're pyromaniacs. I'm bothered by the ones that say they're not.

Awesome! You just made setting things on fire a matter of philosophy and the determination of man.Originally Posted by Mindgames
I'll bet $50 you won't get one person who says "No...don't think I've ever set anything on fire"
You don't necessarily have to be a pyro, but come on. Come on.
You are lucky I like fire better than gambling.Originally Posted by Lady Alias
depends - who's pressing charges?
I've set my share of, well everything, on fire. I'm an honest-to-goodness pyro. I get more than the average thrill from watching things go up in flames.
(so i'm crazy, so sue me)

-loves playing with fire- my lady and her husband burn the cardboarrd and stuff they have everyweek so i help with that, and the other stuff like insence lol
i have to admit I get a little tingle when I get to set drinks on fire at work...and everyone else does too, thats one of those things that everyone stops talking and watches when I do...im learning to blow fire at work, makes uber-tips
i've set my share of things on fire, but i definitely have a healthy respect for it... i'm not exactly AFRAID of fire, per se...
I set this pinata stick covered in tissue paper on fire, it was in my friends room too. It was so funny, it lit, i threw it on the floor yelling "FIRE FIRE FIRE" and everyone panicked.
Then there was that time we outlined a huge anarchy sign on my friends basketball court in gasoline, then lit it on fire... good times.
Of course Fire is fun. Campfires are the funnest!
Nothing quite like throwing styrofoam into a big bowl of gasoline, then spreading the sticky napalm like substance out into shapes..making big flaming letters that burn and burn.. *o*
I found a Zippo I need to get. It says, 'I don't smoke, I just like to burn things.'
That rules!Originally Posted by HeadlessBill
that is a fabulous saying for a lighter... i want one too hahaa!!
i used to sit on my bedroom floor with a lighter melting tealights and playing with the wax, listening to aerosmith haha... those were fuckin good times man...
the first time i was ever in trouble was because i lit every single match in a brand new box while laying in my mom's bed. i was 3.
K
mmm. fire is my friend.
i put thermite on the top of an old safe we had at our house. it made it through...
Anyone remember who said:
Build a man a fire; keep him warm for a day.
Set a man on fire; keep him warm for the rest of his life.
eeeew... terrible bill!!
reminds me of that fish saying though, and now i want fish... way to go :P
when i was 7 we had this halloween cauldren full of oil that i would set on fire on a daily basis. i always did it in secret yet the black smoke always gave it away.
when i was 13 we had a bon fire at my mother's friends ranch where they would take baggies full of gas and toss it in for explosions.
4th july 2000-2001 i set myself on fire. i stopped doing that as i started running out of pants. and its stupid
voldta... why... the hell would you set yourself ON FIRE???
that could be a new drink though... flaming voldta... heh tasty! there you go PMH new bar favorite!
it was a bad time in my life. plus..im semi happier than i was back then..so no more fires
The garage was a virtual cornucopia of flamable liquids. I used to burn everything. WD40 was always a good one, using the little straw it came with to write your name set it alight. Gas fires are the best though, such a ruckus liquid. Burning pentacles into the concreate of parking lots and making obstacle courses for fire in the dirt. I've pretty much given it up now that fireworks are legal here.
I used to light everything i could find on fire...and then my sister left a candle on her bed...and lucky for us it fell over, and caught the upstairs on fire. So my pryo ways are over.
Quiet Place - EEK! luckily no one was hurt (right?). I got a lot more careful after my brother was set on fire durring a camping accident. caged te fire bug, as my uncle called it.

No one was hurt, I was hero man haha. We were running outside after I called 911, and this guy said to me "You know your house is smoking, right?"...heres your sign.Originally Posted by keiko
HAHA heres your sign... that is good shit right there. blue collar comedy tour all the way...
but yeah burning house not fuckin cool. my brother a couple times was playing with my moms lit candles in the living room... once set a peice of paper on fire, freaked out and didnt know what to do with it, and ran down the hallway to hide it somewhere i guess, but dropped it at the end of the hall where my mom noticed and put it out... nice melty spot on the carpet but no burning house.

...where can I find the aforementioned Zippo?
yeah we had candle light our bathroom and bedrom on fire a couple years back...scary shit, I keep a close eye on my candles nowOriginally Posted by TheQuietPlace
I used to have this pinata and it had this weird stuff on it. yeah I always wondered what it would burn like
It burned quickly . . . . scared the piss out of me.
But yeah Fire really scares me.
I got burned really bad when I was a kid
Me and my brother enjoyed burning plastic and playing with it . . .
and the plastic got on me. Wasnt too pretty.
But I still love fire.
Just scary
i used to wish i smoked when i walked past the yuppie apartments when coming home from a club cos theyd have a pile of newspapers sitting near their entrance, id love to throw a lit ciggie into that
i have been set on fire at various s&m clubs, cheapo hair-mousse works great, but you gotta let an expert do it or there will be burns
sounds like lint from a dryer. hahaha I was fuckin' around, and almost caught the house on fire. I was a quick thinker and grabbed the hose from outside. haha I had like 3 fans on blowing the smell out, hoping I wouldn't get caught...didn't work.Originally Posted by LoraLie
Haha yeah Fans and air freshener became my best friend the day I burnt the pinata.
I too didnt get caught. Thank goodness
My parents freak out if I burn candles. Its lame
if set plenty of things on fire, but i must say that i really enjoy blowing things up rather than simply setting them on fire.
I saw the Zippo about a month ago at the Hot Topic on Telegraph in Berkeley.Originally Posted by Spaceman Spiff
my parents didnt like me burning candles or incence in my room... but thats understandable i guess...
i still did it tho hah... i <3 candles... especialy the fig and lychee scent from partylite that they discontinued *unconsolably sad*
when i still smoked, my hair SEVERAL times... other than that, i keep to my matches in the bathroom and lighting firewood...
now, kerri... he's the pyro...
My husband and I put out a fire someone started by throwing out a cig butt, carelessly onto a pile of very dry mulch...
Picture march of '07 in Ft Myers Florida in the dry season that was having a record dry yr.
The flames would have conquered several super lavish homes and a patch of woods.
We were riding by on our bikes, when I stopped to use the phone.
I'm glad we were at the right place at the right time.
Well, in 5th grade a friend who smoked lit a part of my hair on fire without me knowing, I was walking in front of her, and she managed to rip that small chunk out before it got to my root, went up fast though and smelt horrible. Needless to say, I was pissed.
I guess in my younger days out of bordem I lit stuff on fire. Can't recall anything too exciting though.
When I was around 11 I lit a bible on fire in a weird pseudo-pagan ritual.
I scattered what didn't burn in the wind.
I'm metal as fuck.
