Drinking all day with my best mates, and we decide that smores would be the best possible thing to eat, ever. So we start up the barbie, with charcoal. It gives the marshmallows a nasty flavor, so we decide to make a fire with sticks.
What to do with the handful of redhot coals? Rather than pour them on the ground and stomp them out, we put them in a coffee can that's used for butts.
Not too difficult.
Then I decide to show my friends that the flash point of lighter fluid is low enough to smother coals with, so I begin emptying a bottle of starter fluid on the coals. They smoke a lot.
Then I get down on my hams, crouch over the can, and blow. The can blows back, 20 feet of flame, straight up past my face.
It made the most interesting noise. Sort of a *fwumph* combined with a dull roar, and a lot of of orange explosion colors.
My hand caught on fire; luckily my hair had been cut recently, otherwise my head would have caught on fire more than it did. I didn't want to stop drop and roll, as I would have had to roll on my face, in the dirt.
So I just punched the fire out. In my face. The pillar of fire that had engulfed my head seared off all the hair on one side of my face and sealed my eyelashes shut. I had to cut my eyelashes off to see out of the eye again, as it was stuck closed.
And all my mates could shout at me was "WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU TELL US YOU WERE GOING TO DO THAT!?" and all I could shout back was "IF I KNEW I WAS GONNA SET MY HEAD ON FIRE, I WOULDN'T HAVE, YOU FUCKING CUNT."
I also smelled terrible, like burnt, melted hair.
Good times.
