After reading the grill topic, I had some memories of past incidents. Has anyone else here had a fascination with fire? I've had the fire department in my town's nearby forest numerous time, though never getting caught. -------------------- I am an idiot. Posts: 775 | Registered: Friday, October 11 2002 07:00 |

I have started neumerous fires, mostly on camping trips. In a firepit. -------------------- ??? ?????? ???? ????? Posts: 883 | Registered: Wednesday, October 19 2005 07:00 |

Shouldn't the topic title be pyromania? --- I like candles, and that's about all.

I can look at fires for the rest of my life, tuning everything else out. To put it simply, I'm a pyromaniac. Runs in the family, my grandpa once lit a fire as big as a barn and didn't call the fire department. -------------------- Constitutional monarchies are the in monarchies.

I hope said fire was not in a barn. :P On another note, your name reminds me of Beowulf. quote: -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

My most recent project into this, excluding the arguably functional work on the charcoal starter, was candlemaking. It was a rousing success, though I have not had a chance to light the large one proper; that is mainly because I am worried about whether it still qualifies as a candle under the law. How petroleum candles work is fascinating as long as you have an appreciation for the chemistry of the whole thing. Also, petroleum jelly is a great alternative to wax if you find that high quality products of the latter are too expensive.

I like fire. I like it's warmth, the pop and crackle, the dance of the plasma, and most of it's smells.

I love fire. Fortunately, my parents don't hide the matches. I save old school projects that I didn't enjoy doing and set them on fire. -------------------- Do not underestimate the power of the mechanical pencil. Join the Dark side. We have cookies.

BURN! BURN! BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, though, I like burning stuff. It's fun to throw firecrackers into a box, and watch it burn. Or the classic "hold plastic soldier under flame". I do that all the time. -------------------- Polaris The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

Fire's kind of fun, I guess, but I wouldn't call myself a pyromaniac. I tend to hate needless destruction, so I've never liked melting plastic soldiers or whatever, but I love building a fire and keeping it going. Five out of the five senses, Gizmo - sparks from a woodfire are actually kind of pleasant-tasting. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.

I once burned my plastic trash can. It was unintentional, actually. I didn't expect it to start melting, but then again, I was just a kid. I had some papers and I figured it'd be really fun to burn them. So I put them in my trashcan. To avoid most smoke I put the can outside my window (there was a large enough ledge there) and lit up a fire. I did get scolded pretty badly about that. My father also confiscated my house keys after setting up fire in the oven there. But that particular oven is meant for it! I think I just forgot to open the .. thingie, you know, for the smoke? I don't even remember what it's called in Finnish, sorry. :\ But since then, I don't find it particularly exciting. I could light up, well, maybe 15 or so different candles I have, but frankly the possibility of a fire hazard just takes away all the fun. Hmh. -------------------- "I'm not crazy!" "Well, whatever.

I suppose I'm fascinated with fire. I particularily enjoy playing with candles and campfires, but nothing ever really large or dangerous. Dikiyoba doesn't like fire on beaches, however, ever since Dikiyoba stepped directly into a pile of hot coals that someone had thrown just enough sand on top of to disguise it.

Go got bored and had a massive fireworks war a while back. Long story short after people getting reasonable decent burns and bruises and a rubbish bin catching fire the police turned up. Trying to flee down a beach while drunk and in the pitch black is way harder than it first seemed. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

quote:I've got some cards I'd be willing to dispose of. And I've always kept myself from setting things on fire (usually with video games or reading non-burning books). Even just thinking about burning things requires me to keep myself from laughing maniacally. But, if I ever end up as an outlaw anyway, things WILL burn.
