Jimbo 0 #3 December 21, 2002 Haha. I once accidentally lit a model rocket engine in my basement. I was using a lighter and _trying_ to show a friend that they wouldn't light without one of those ignition things. Oops. Then there was the time I burned a 3 foot circle in the carpet in my bedroom. Then there was the time I lit an entire box of matches. Then there was the time.... - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Michele 1 #5 December 21, 2002 I lit the bathroom on fire once. We had one of those open flame heaters, and at seven years old, I got out of the bath, wrapped myself in a towel, and I guess I stood too close to the heater 'cause I caught the towel on fire...it was smoking, so, instead of getting my parents, I, well, hung it back on the door. The door was locked. The door, of course, was wood. Which of course was varnished. Which of course melted. And started to shoot flames up the door. Which, of course, scared me. So instead of getting my parents, I climbed out the bathroom window stark nekkid, leaving the bathroom door locked, and went to get my brother. Who was, of course, inside the house. And the back door was locked. And of course brother and Mom and Dad were too busy putting out the burning bathroom door to come let my nekkid butt back into the house. So I walked around to the front door, where I then met the firemen, who didn't let me go back into the house, but instead inspected me for burns. In the street in front of the house. With the ambulance guys laughing 'cause I told them what had happened. And they gave me a blanket to wear around my shoulders until I could go back inside. Of course the neighborhood turned out to watch the house burn down, and instead, got an eyeful of a nekkid 7 year old arsonist... We got a new heater, and a new door. And new towels.

phatcat 0 #8 December 21, 2002 That's what I like to call an "Oops, I made fire" story. If somebody gets hurt - not funny. If nobobdy gets hurt - funny as hell!!! I'm an optomist, I can't help it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #9 December 21, 2002 Quote Girlfriend now that's an adventure!!!LOL Yes, now....at the time, I was in serious trouble. My parents didn't seem to find it quite as funny as the ambulance guys or the neighborhood did.... I remember trying to explain to Dad how it happened. He kept asking me why I didn't unlock the door and come get him. "Because it was hot, Daddy, and I'm supposed to leave the burning building, they said so at school". Sigh. First lesson in what you're taught in school is not necessarily the right response at home. Quote If nobobdy gets hurt - funny as hell!!! Then it isn't funny. My bottom hurt for a week from the spanking! Actually, I agree. If no-one gets seriously hurt, then it's funny as hell.

Guest #13 December 21, 2002 Okay, gotta confession coming here... Once, when I was a silly kid, of about 12, I did the ol' "match-and-Lysol-trick" in the bathroom. The resulting orange flash startled me, as did the burning towel... Thank goodness, I put it out despite being freaked."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

DZBone 0 #15 December 21, 2002 No, but we used to suck up butane from lighters and blow that. Not as spectacular, but easier to execute. Went nicely with the nitrous from the whipped cream cans. _________________________________________________ If you hadn't read this, would it have made a sound?
