Good practice today! I know it was good, because my legs ache.

Oh, fire-eating was mentioned! Not in the "I saw something interesting on tv" way, in the "would you be into trying it in the next month or so".

Booyeah. I've been waiting for a second chance at this since I turned down the offer at Burning Man in '99 (because, you know, goatee, tent overhead, potential teacher was painted green ((good thing)) and had pupils that were different sizes and spinning slightly ((bad thing)). And if I'm still interested after hearing the anecdote about how Nate set his teeth on fire, then I *have* to try it.

I just need to start stocking up on the aloe and gauze.

Sounds like an amusing story :P.

Your nose and eyebrows, dude. Nose and eyebrows.

Oh, what are the odds that the exact same spots would burn off twice?

(Don't answer that)

ooh. Fun fun fun. Although I must ask, you've burnt your nose off, before?

Entertained the notion of learning to fire breathe. But I figured I was too flammable. Still a fantastic concept though. One of my old friends/instructors used to do that, and did manage to lose all body hair on his head doing that, due to a slight wind change. Not pretty.

Well, see, about five years ago I was at an overnight campout where things went Horribly Wrong with the onsite cook, his girlfriend and another man, and all three of them went storming off in the middle of the night. Next morning those of us who were left were faced with a monster of a gas stove, one big enough to cook thirty pancakes at once.

So, hungry and dumb as I was, I tried to light it. And, true to the spirit of the weekend, things went Badly, and I wound up with my head under the faucet going "ow ow ow ow ow" and wondering how I'd look without eyelashes and brows (like a brown egg, as it turned out).
