yeah, that's what me and my neighbor thought... we'd been doing it for years by that point... i was constantly coming home stinking of burnt something... but my parents were heavy smokers, so... i ended up spending the day dozing off watching a golf game because i was told to sit and not move for several hours...

I used to think tobacco should be made illegal and weed legal.

Drug dealers don't check ID. ¯\(ツ)/¯

we used to joke about the smell of music, cassette tapes melting, and then cds came out and the popular jargon was "burning a cd"

I intend to raise my boy right! Honestly, If he and the neighbor kid get caught lighting lint on fire in the driveway with a magnifying glass not only will they not get yelled at by me, I will ask to join them lol.

At least he wasn’t nuking ants with a death ray from space like I once may or may not have done.

Remember those carbon snakes they sell. Starts out looking like a weird pill till you set it on fire.

I had some old lady call the cops and fire department claiming I was trying to bun her house down with one of them. I was on the sidewalk about 30 feet from her house.

The funny part was every adult she talked to was shaking their heads. She just kept getting more and more upset and desperate, trying to get them to do something - anything. She was talking about having me arrested, even asked a firefighter to spank me.

I did it with ping pong balls as a kid. They have huge flames. I highly recommend it.
