Cool picture. Be VERY CAREFUL with that stuff. There was a waitress at the Papagus Restaurant (owned by the Lettuce Entertain You corp) in Chicago who got 3rd degree burns over her whole head upper torso from Everclear permanently disfiguring her. The bartender was playing a game of "light the bar on fire," when the flame shot up the liquid into the bottle. He tossed it, the bottle blew up and splattered the waitress. Her clothing fused to her skin and her flesh melted. After years of legal battles the Lettuce corp paid a settlement.

Careful with that stuff around fire.
 
There is a reason why NO bar ever allows flaming drinks.

Restaurants, maybe, but NO bar is supposed to allow this.

A basement, why the hell not.
 
a garage in fact... and the ceiling ALMOST lit on fire. We had a hose nearby..no worries. Any way I can host this video somewhere? It was the 2nd time he did it, not quite as huge, but also not quite as painful.
 
haha... i was going to post that.

Now is it me, and i feel really bad for thinking this, but does anyone else kinda wish he got hurt? I mean really, do we want this clown reproducing and making more like him? Dumb ought to hurt.


He is also a 6'8" gangly monster man
 
We also have a similar video of us making Thermite (alluminum metal oxidized by iron odide, then lit with a magnesium fuse, that movie is amazing) (currently posting thermite movie, youtube is pretty slick)

THERMITE!!!

Papagus restaurant, where the waitress caught on fire used Everclear to ignite their flaming cheese. They were supposed to use Greek brandy but management told the bartenders to use (the cheaper) Everclear, The bartender there used to dribble a line of it on the bar and light it on fire as a joke. Poor girl never saw it coming. There was a big exposé on this in the Chicago Reader a few years ago - it took her years to even mildly recover.
