I'm a pyromaniac.

[Ryan2]

I had some fun.

991 pages of pure, spellbounding income tax.

Burn!

Mmm, hot dogs roasted over an open tax income book.

The aftermath. Hah.

So, do you enjoy burning things?

 

[the_cobbinator]

I believe I have been rendered speechless.

But yes, I do occasionally

 

[sn00pie]

Cool.

I burn stuff, all sorts of stuff, too. I like to see how quick the fire spreads and I like the smell of it. More-so, I like to see if I can get hardwood floors to ignite only to exstinguise the fire just in time so I don't burn down the neighbourhood. I like to melt stuff too, the other day, while working on the Sony WEGA TV with an antique flame thrower I had found in the garage I was rudly interrupted by my sister. So I decided I was going to see if she could get out of her shoes quick enough after I had set fire to them - which was the case. Also, once, while barbequeing, the meat didn't get cooked too well. So I decided to spice that BBQ-baby up a bit, I grabbed this can of karting fuel - and well... what can I say, really?

Other than that my therapist took away my matches.

👍!

 

[sn00pie]

Just for the record...

You do realise that I'm really only kidding, and that I - in fact -don't set people's shoes on fire (much), there? Nor are there any antique flame throwers in my garage, damn shame!

Right?

 

[Naoki]

I must agree. I am also a pyro. I like to watch the flame. If I ligt a candle in my room, I burn paper with it.

I don't know what I am.

 

[boombexus]

Did that tax book hold any special meaning, or were you just burning it for the hell of it?

No, no special meaning whatsoever. I got it free at a baseball game, and I figured it would be fun to burn.

 

[boombexus]

👍

I remember burning and using fireworks to blow up my toy's when I was younger. GI Joe's and Starwars figures mainly.
Really wish I still had that stuff though, it's worth some good money now.
But hey, blowing stuff up was pretty fun.

 

[Spock]

im a pyro too

yesterday while at a friends house i was bored so we decided to hold to lighter fluid in our mouths and then light it on fire, when i did it i had too much and when i opend it my whole face burstint flames, singed most of my hair, very very fun

[viperman]

Can't say I do. On camp-outs, sure, I'll tend to a fire, but I'm far from a pyro... Must be something to do with my Asian background.

I'd gladly take a cookie for burning an income tax book.

 

[Shannon]

Heh. I have big stash of paper that is going to get burnt today.

Burning stuff is fun!

Indeed it is fun but if everbody took up this recreation it would just increase greenhouse gas emissions. In turn this might happen:

Temperatures will rise worldwide melting polar and permafrost regions. All the melted water will raise the sea level by about 1-2m worldwide in the next 100 years threatening low land countries, small Pacific Island communities and natural structures along coastlines. Warmer oceans will cause them to expand causing coastal flooding allowing saltwater to flow into areas where salt is harmful, threatening plants and animals in those areas.
New weather patterns will occur which will vary from extreme to extreme. Oceanfront property would be affected by flooding, and beach erosion could leave structures even more vulnerable to storm waves. Whether we move back from the water or build sea walls in the face of a rising sea, it could cost billions of dollars to adapt to such change. Coastal flooding also may reduce the quality of drinking water in coastal areas.
In some areas of the world a warmer climate may be pleasing to some people but it may cause some discomfort to others. For example, heat stress and other heat related health problems are caused directly by very warm temperatures and high humidity. Untreated, heat stress can be a very serious medical problem. Scientists suspect that, in many places, global warming will increase the number of very hot days that occur during the year.
Climate change may alter the world's habitats and ecosystems – all living things are included in and rely on these places. Many of these places depend on a delicate balance of rainfall, temperature, and soil type. A rapid change in climate could upset this balance and seriously endanger many living things.
Most past climate changes occurred slowly, allowing plants and animals to adapt to the new environment or move somewhere else. However, if future climate changes occur as rapidly as some scientists predict, plants and animals may not be able to react quickly enough to survive. The ocean's ecosystems also could be affected for the same reasons.
The recreation of buring things may make the Earth warmer in cold places. People living in these places may have a chance to grow crops in new areas. But global warming also might bring droughts to other places where we grow crops. In some parts of the world, people may not have enough to eat because they cannot grow the food that they need. New climates may have an overwhelming effect on countries that rely deeply on agricultural exports. If crops cannot be grown in the areas huge glasshouses will have to be built creating an artificial environment. These glasshouses will cost a great deal of money, many jobs will have to be slashed to account for this insuring growers economic stability. Or different crops more suited to a warmer climate can be grown.

Then again who gives two hoots about that jibberish pass the lighter.

 

[Acidman]

Yeah i'm a pyro too, we have a firepit in our backyard, and whenever we have a fire to cook hotdogs or whatever my dad is constanly giving me crap for playing with the fire, but man, it's fun when your parents aren't home!!!

 

[Cobraboy]

Ever chucked a full box of matches into a fire burning in excess of 150°C?

Very long flame...

 

[Cobraboy]

And on a slightly related note, this is the temperature of our fireplace...

Right?

I like to burn things too...I like to burn rubber and unleaded gas and occasionaly race gas...

One word: gunpowder

 

[Apclps]

Burning stuff is indeed a lot of fun. Thank god we still have a working fire place at our house

I remeber that when we used to live in Tanzania, my brothers and I always had the honour of burning all the old magazines and other papers that we had left at the end of the month. One box full of paper could keep us busy for hours (with some wood and small animals offcourse).

 

[Shannon]

I just burnt a whole heap of paper today. Very fun!

 

[qjasonp]

I used to be a huge pyro.I loved to get a good fire going in a trash can,and then take a board and put it across it and set my old Hotwheels onto of the board and watch it all burn(yes I know I'm freaking weird)

 

[milefile]

Three pyromaniac episodes:

1. I always burned my books at the end of the school year. In eighth grade the principal caught wind of the plan due to some careless bragging and actually showed up at my house at dinner time and asked to see my books. Fortunately I hadn't done it yet. But I still got in trouble, and my parents took away the books.

2. When I was maybe six years old I lit some old shoe laces on fire in the house and threw them away, erroneously beleiving they were out. A few minutes later the trash bin was in flames and melting, leaving a big black streak up the wall. My dad threw it outside and put it out. I blamed it on my sister and my parents bought it. I fessed up in my mid twenties. Oh the guilt.

3. A friend and I were lighting dry grass in a park. It got out of control and we ran. Half the park burned (no trees, just grass) and we never got caught.

 

[MuddinPede]

Yay, I'm not the only pyro. I like to create full scale battles with army men. Get about 20 or so and a few of the flamethrower guys. Get a line of gas going from the flamethrower guys to the other guys. Tanks, planes, and other vehicles are also cool to burn with them.

Oh, yeah. Don't burn RC car fuel. Besides it being $32/ gallon, it burns invisible,as I soon found out.

Meh, not really a pyro...I've lit some sparkler bombs, but that's about it...

You do realise that I'm really only kidding

Oh come on, everyone knows that Italics means sarcasm... Well, almost everyone...

[MazKid]

Yup, I'm a pyro too. A few nights ago my bro had left over bottle rockets, and my parents went to someone's house for a little talk thingy or something, so what better to do then blow apart some 1/18 scale models?

So I get my Mercedes M-class, old Jag, and Mustang(I made it look like a wreck a while ago, but over looked that it should have been toasted) and headed to the sand box. The first few we set off in the M-class. It blew the winshield out around the part I didn't tape. Then we set a full thing of them off and it, didn't really do anything. So we move to the Jag. We put a couple in there and they blew part of the windshield out. By this time we constructed a brick garage type thing to muffle the bangs, though it didn't really do anything. Then we go to the Mustang. We put a couple in there, and it did nothing. Even put one up behind the dash, and nothing. So we get a bunch of dry leaves, some paper, and put a full thing of them in it, light the paper, and spray it with WD-40(you can use it as a torch if you spray the fire and then continue spraying and move the can. Fire in mid air!)till we have a fully flamming Mustang. The rockets go off in all directions really fast which was hilarious. After they are all burnt I decide to put the car out(what's the fun it burning a car when all of the plastic is gone? I make realistic burnage). The paint on the roof is bubbled and dark(after I cleaned the sut off), the interior is pretty much intacted but burned, and the car looks like an accident. So we clean up quickly and then my parents get home. Next day, my mom is looking in the sand and finds a used bottle rocket that we missed in the sand. She also finds part of the Mustang that my bro took off. So she's like "what did you do in the sand?" and I said "uhh...we just played." And she said "what's this?"(holding up the rocket) and I was like, "You aren't gonna be mad at me are you?" "well, not really cause it already happened". So I told and she's like "well it's dangerous so you shouldn't do it." She also asked about the cars involved and I told her that they were fine and in my room(on previous burnings, she throws out the cars, which sucks).

I've also burned a Mercedes A-class, and a Citroen 2CV. It's fun. And I've burned countless hotwheels and stuff.

We've been making a ton of those since the 4th. Small ones only made out of about 12 sparklers, if made correctly, can be extremely loud! We blew up one made out of 12 in a local park, and a few people quit mowing their lawns, and about 7 people came out of their houses asking what that loud explosion was that they just heard. Stand about 20 feet away from one and you can feel the blast very easily. They will absolutely shred a mailbox to pieces.

I'm not real big on burning stuff anymore. I'm more into blowing **** up. Give me a 5 gallon bottle of propane, a flaming towel, and a high powered rifle, and I'm happy as could be.
